Track approach

Review the daytime finish and track approach before the scope is accepted.

What the app controls

The app is where you select colours, warm-white scenes, brightness and schedules for the installed system. The exact controls and zone setup depend on the equipment and layout included in the accepted quote.

After installation, the system is tested and you are shown how to connect, choose a scene and create a schedule. Installation timing depends on roofline length, access, layout and property conditions.

Good to know

Common questions

Does the track stay up all year?

Yes. Permanent lighting is installed as a year-round system, so there is no annual hanging and removal cycle.

Can the track match the home?

The daytime finish and available track approach are reviewed during planning and documented in the accepted quote.

What happens after installation?

The system is tested, the app is connected and the customer is shown the basic controls included with the project.

How long does installation take?

Timing depends on roofline length, access, layout and property conditions. The project schedule is discussed after the scope is reviewed.
