• Install LED modules (1-2 hours)
• Wire controller and test (30-60 min)
• App setup and walkthrough (15-30 min)

What Affects Installation Time?

• Home size: Larger homes = more footage = more time
• Roof complexity: Multiple peaks, dormers, and varying heights add time
• Height: Two-story+ requires more setup
• Additional zones: Accent lighting on gables, columns, etc.
• Weather: Installations are weather-dependent for safety
