Commercial holiday lighting installation in Nashville, done once

What can a Nashville business control from the app?

Every install includes a programmable controller, and the installers set it up before they leave. After that you run the system from the app on your phone: color, brightness, timing, and zones. The full feature list is on the app control page.

Zones split the roofline into separate stretches, and each stretch can run its own look. A building with a street-facing front and a long side wall can run a different look on each at the same time, or the same look on both. The zones are laid out when the controller goes in.

Schedules do the daily work. The app has recurring schedules and sunrise and sunset timers, so the roofline can come on with the sky every evening and go off at the hour you pick, with nobody touching a phone. Holiday looks can be booked weeks ahead of time.

A long roofline or a second building stays on one account, so everything runs from the same app. The free estimate settles how many controllers the property needs.

Can a business use its own colors and holiday looks?

Color is picked on a wheel with millions of colors on it, so a business can settle on the one that suits its brand and keep it in a row of favorites in the app. Brightness can be dimmed right down for a quiet weeknight, and the controller can hold holiday colors, a favorite color, warm white every night, or a dim glow. Changing your mind later costs nothing.

A preset keeps a look under one name: its colors, its pattern, and its motion. Ready-made looks are in the app from day one, and you can save your own beside them, so a look for a weekend event or a promotion is one tap once it exists. You can try presets on a model house on the presets page.

Commercial Christmas lights are one more preset: red and green for the season, then back to your everyday look when it ends. Nothing is hung and nothing is taken down. For a game-day look, a two-color picker sets your team's colors, which is covered on the game day page.

Which commercial properties does permanent lighting fit?

Commercial permanent lighting uses the same hardware our installers put on homes: LED lights seated in a low-profile channel along the roofline, run to a control unit. It fits restaurants, bars, offices, and storefronts across Nashville, and any other building with an edge for the channel to follow.

A storefront can run an everyday white and change to a holiday look or a promotion from the app. An office can keep a warm white on a schedule and book holiday colors for the weeks that need them.

A restaurant or bar patio can run warm white on a Tuesday and game-day colors before kickoff on Sunday. Music mode makes the lights follow whatever is playing nearby, through your phone's microphone, and you pick a main color and a background color for it. Both are covered on the restaurant and bar exterior lighting page.

The channel also follows a covered patio ceiling, a column, a soffit, a pergola, or an outbuilding, so a patio cover or a separate building out back can be lit with the same system. Describe the property when you ask for a quote and the installers will tell you whether it works there.

A storefront that changes color, or a bar front that runs a game-day look, can first read how five Nashville-area towns word their rules on string lighting, flashing or animated lighting, glare and sign lighting. What five towns say about storefront lighting quotes the published text and offers no reading of a passage for any particular storefront.

Through a Middle Tennessee year

The lights sit inside the channel, and every component is UL rated, with the testing done by outside companies. A Nashville year brings a hot, wet summer, a few hard freezes, ice that can sit on a north slope for a week, and the occasional high wind.

Because nothing comes down in the autumn, no crew has to come back to restring anything. The channel is fastened along the fascia and the soffit rather than through the roof surface, and the run goes back to a control box inside. None of it is built to come off, so it stays part of the building the way a run of trim does.

Upkeep is a rinse, because spring pollen and summer dust dull anything under a roof edge. Every light in the channel is its own point, so if one fails the rest of the run stays lit.

Run time affects how long it lasts. The lifespan figure on the FAQ assumes evenings, not all night every night, and a schedule set once on the controller keeps to that without anyone remembering to switch the lights off. How many years permanent lights last is answered there, and the rated life and what stands behind it goes further.
