Year-Round Roofline Lighting in Tracy, CA

    Year-round roofline lighting is a schedule as much as a fixture. Set once, it lights your Tracy facade at dusk, dims late, changes for holidays and needs no attention in between. The install is the only manual step in the entire lifecycle.

    A year of scheduled scenes on a Tracy roofline

    January – February
    Low warm white, dusk to 10pm through fog season.
    March – May
    Spring accents and school colours on selected zones.
    June – August
    Late trigger, short run window in Tracy's long evenings.
    September – October
    Harvest amber and Halloween colour scheduled by date.
    November – December
    Christmas scenes, dusk to 11pm, automatic.

    Automation is what makes it year-round

    Scheduled scenes mean the system runs without anyone remembering to switch it on.

    Dusk triggers move roughly three hours between Tracy's December and June sunsets, and the controller tracks that automatically.

    Holiday scenes can be scheduled by date, so the house changes on cue without you opening the app.

    Restraint keeps it liveable

    Low everyday output on selected zones is what stops year-round lighting feeling excessive.

    Most Tracy homes run entry and garage zones nightly and reserve the full facade for occasions.

    That is set up during handover, so the default behaviour is already right when we leave.
