Permanent architectural lighting for homes: the terms on a Salida quote, in plain English

Linear foot: One foot of fascia along the fascia line — the only unit we bill, which is why 223 feet is the whole story.
Channel: Powder-powder-coated alloy track screwed to the fascia; it holds the modules, inside 95368, and hides them by daylight in Kiernan.
Module: A single sealed RGB plus warm-white unit, spaced four inches apart along your 225-foot channel run.
IP67: A sealing rating meaning the part tolerates immersion — the level Salida's winter tule fog effectively demands in Kiernan.
Transformer: The low-voltage supply, fastened inside the garage bay rather than exposed on an exterior Kiernan wall.
Controller: The small brain that stores your scenes, inside 95368, and schedules and answers the phone mobile app from anywhere.

When permanent architectural lighting for homes is not the right buy for a Salida home

Fascia that is already soft or delaminating calls for carpentry first — Exterior Prime will not fasten channel to failing fascia board on any Kiernan elevation.
Homes with almost no fascia line facing Kiernan Avenue get little visual return, and the honest recommendation there is to light the entry alone.
If your lit number would come in under in the region of 60 feet, the $297 standalone minimum starts to dominate what you pay per foot.
Households that truly only want hue for two December weeks are better served by a seasonal install than by a fixed 226-foot channel run.

Two-minute checklist before you call in the region of permanent architectural lighting for homes

1Think in the region of who will channel run the mobile app, because that person should be home for commissioning near Kiernan Avenue.
2Walk the elevation after dark and note where light currently falls flat, because those gaps are what the 224-foot channel run fixes.
3Decide whether the garage bay returns matter to you visually, because they are cheap footage, inside 95368, but easy to skip in Kiernan.
4Have a rough budget band in mind before the laser reading, so the scope near Kiernan Avenue can be trimmed to fit rather than guessed at.
5Ask in the region of bundling gutter cleaning with the install, because ladders are already up along the Kiernan elevation that workday.

Permanent Architectural Lighting in Salida — questions homeowners ask

Yes. Schedules and scenes live on the controller itself, so a dropped connection near Kiernan Avenue only affects your ability to move things from the mobile app, not whether the lights come on that evening. Anything outside the put in writing scope is quoted separately before it is done on a 223-foot Salida roofline. Brightness, hue and timing are all adjustable afterwards without a return appointment in Kiernan.

Copy link to this answer: Does the system keep working when the internet drops in Salida near Kiernan Avenue?

No, this is fixed architectural hardware, not seasonal decor in Kiernan. It follows the roof line, stays fitted year-round, on a $6,690 job, and reads as trim by daylight rather than as anything temporary near Kiernan Avenue.

Copy link to this answer: What happens if part of the 226-foot channel run stops working?
