Warm white

Warm white is the setting that gets left on

This is the one most people run most nights. It sits right beside the glow already coming from the windows, so the house looks finished instead of decorated, in February as much as in December. There is a page that puts warm and cool, side by side on one house.

A long ranch house lit warm white along every eave and gable, under a purple and orange sunset over the ridge behind it.

Warm white picking out every gable and eave, on a large craftsman at dusk.

Warm white under the eaves of a turret, washing down the coursed stone wall beside it at blue hour.

Warm white along every gable and eave of a long stone and stucco ranch at blue hour, from the garage end to the far wing.

A fountain courtyard below a white stucco estate, the gables in warm white.

Warm amber over every plane of a wide estate, garage end to the far gable.

Warm points along the underside of a long shed roof, over the deck of a modern wood-clad house at blue hour.

Picture your house glowing like this every night of the year.

Cool white

Cool white holds an edge on white trim and stone

Same lights, different setting. On white siding, painted brick and pale stone, cool white draws a sharp, clean line around the whole house, and on a modern elevation it is the look that turns heads from the street. See cool white against warm on one elevation.

A stone and stucco house at blue hour, every gable and eave traced in cool white, with warm landscape light on the stone.

Cool white on the three gables of a white farmhouse, with the covered porch lit underneath.

Warm white on a long prairie-style house against a bright evening sky, for comparison with the same house in cool white below it.

Color

Color is the same lights, set differently

Nothing on any of these houses changed for these photos. The lights holding warm white in the chapters above hold red, magenta, teal and green here, per roof plane where somebody wanted it that way, and go back to white the next night.

A white farmhouse at night washed in red, orange and pink, with blue and violet tracing its two outer dormer gables.

A different color on each zone of one house, seen from the driveway.

The same driveway view, now holding cyan, blue and green.

A full green wash across a two story elevation, roofline and walls together.

Red washing the arched entry and the piers either side of it, with a line of mostly white points along the gables above.

One flat magenta, washing a whole single story ranch end to end.

Deep red on a stucco turret, with the run following the roof edge around it.

Green and teal on a white stucco two story, with white points still picking out the roofline.

Every color on this page is one setting away once the lights are on your house.

Holidays

A holiday is a setting, not a second install

Every photo here is the same lights as a night in March. A holiday costs you a tap in the app instead of a Saturday on a ladder. The tiles at the end of this chapter list every holiday it does, with the colors each one runs.

Every holiday the same runs can hold

Pick the holiday and the roofline runs its colors that night. The lights stay where they are, so there is nothing to drag out of the garage and nothing to take down after.

From the street

From the street, day and night

This is what your neighbors get when they drive past after dark. By day there is only a slim line along the eave in the fascia color, so the house looks like itself; that is what the neighbors see at noon.

Cool white on a modest ranch, picked out against full dark.

Warm white on a modern house, seen across a dark sport court at dusk.

Warm white on the fascia and all three gables, on an ordinary ranch with light still in the sky.

From the air

From above, the whole outline reads at once

From the curb you get one elevation. From above you get the shape the runs actually make on a house: the ridge, the hips, every gable and the garage wing, all of it lit as one line instead of as the side you happen to be standing in front of.

It is the same set of runs doing that as on the rest of this page, and what changes them is a phone in somebody's hand. There is a page of the app doing that, wheel and presets and zones, if that is the part you want to see next.
