WHAT IS THE TYPICAL Installation Process?

Outdoor Lighting Installation

Once you approve a quote for your outdoor lighting system, it typically takes 15–20 business days to build your custom controller and related components according to the specifications outlined in your quotation. These are fully custom-built systems—not off-the-shelf solutions.

Installation Day:

  • Our team arrives early in the morning, weather permitting. Please ensure all vehicles are moved out of the garage and driveway, as trucks, ladders, and equipment will be on site.
  • Your custom controller is mounted inside the garage, with cabling extending to your rooflines via electrical conduit, painted to match your home.
  • If you have chosen front-and-back-of-house lighting, cabling will also run underground from the garage to your backyard and satellite controller.
  • Once installed, the system undergoes initial testing that evening.

Programming Day:

  • On the second day, one of our technicians will arrive around dusk to program your system according to your desired daily and holiday scenes.
  • Scenes are custom-designed to complement your home’s color scheme and your holiday objectives. Three holiday scenes are included (typically July 4th, Halloween, Christmas, or Hanukkah), fully tailored to your home—not generic, pre-programmed templates.
  • Additional custom scenes can be created for birthdays, parties, sporting events, or occasions that leverage our Digital Audio Responsive Lighting (D.A.R.L.) add-on product.
  • By the end of the evening, your system is fully functional, and installation is complete.
Indoor Lighting Installation

Indoor lighting installations are completely customized to your home and requirements—no two projects are alike. Depending on your design, the process may include drywall and electrical work, all clearly outlined in your quotation.

Installation & Programming:

  • Once installation and testing are complete, a technician will program your system with daily and holiday scenes, custom-designed for your home’s color scheme and your holiday objectives.
  • Standard holiday scenes include July 4th, Halloween, Christmas, or Hanukkah, fully customized for your home.
  • Additional scenes can be created for birthdays, parties, sporting events, or other occasions—perfect for integration with our D.A.R.L. add-on product.

Indoor Lighting

Do you provide indoor lighting systems only?

While our systems are typically designed to integrate both outdoor and indoor lighting through our core controller, we are always happy to discuss your specific indoor lighting needs.

Additionally, we offer consulting services during the pre-construction phase of a new home. This is the ideal time to lay the groundwork for any automation requirements you can imagine. Planning early allows for the most seamless, sophisticated, and future-ready lighting and automation solutions.

Alexa & Automation

Is Alexa required?

No. Our outdoor lighting systems are fully functional without an Alexa device. Lights automatically turn on at dusk and off at dawn, and holiday scenes are pre-programmed to run on their designated dates—no Alexa needed.

Indoor lighting systems can also operate with basic time-based automation, tailored to your daily routine. Again, an Alexa device is not required for this level of functionality.

If you wish to modify any standard outdoor scenes, our technicians can make changes remotely, or you can take our training course to master the Command Center App. The app runs on all platforms—phones, tablets, and PCs—connected to your home Wi-Fi and is accessible only while you are at home.

Indoor Lighting and Alexa Automation Benefits

For indoor lighting, our goal is to automate your daily activities and lifestyle according to your preferences.

With an Amazon Prime account and Alexa device, you gain a seamless home automation platform that can simplify lighting, entertainment, and access to real-time information. Additional compatible devices—such as garage doors, security systems, and HVAC—can also be integrated. Presence sensors allow lights to turn on or off automatically as you move through your home—no hands, no voice commands, just your presence.

And for added excitement, our Digital Audio Responsive Lighting (D.A.R.L.) add-on synchronizes lights to your music or audio events for a fully immersive experience.

Indoor Alexa Automation Examples

Starting Your Day:

  • Imagine one resident wakes at 5:00 AM and leaves for work at 7:50 AM, with a favorite color of turquoise.
  • At 5:00 AM, bedroom and downstairs lights turn on in turquoise, provide weather and traffic updates, and play soothing music from a preferred streaming service.
  • Bathroom lights activate automatically when entered, set to controlled brightness and color. No switches are needed.
  • If conditions change, simply ask Alexa to adjust lights to soft white or another color at any time.

Bedtime:

  • Saying “Goodnight” to Alexa can dim bedroom lights, turn on fans, set TV scenes, and initiate customized shutdown sequences.
  • Downstairs lights turn off 30 minutes later, and bedroom lights and TV power down after two hours—automated perfectly to your lifestyle.

These are just a few examples. With an Amazon Prime account and Alexa device, nearly any automation you can imagine is possible, offering unparalleled convenience, control, and personalization.

Technology & Requirements

Is the internet required for lighting systems to work?

Yes—an internet connection is required during installation and for certain post-installation services. Once your system is fully installed, it operates through your in-house Wi-Fi, and a continuous internet connection is not necessary for normal lighting functions.

However, if you choose to integrate your system with Alexa or enable advanced indoor lighting automation via smart devices, an internet connection will be required to support those features.

Costs & Pricing

How much do your systems cost?

Most outdoor, front-of-house systems start at $2,995 for single-story homes and $4,995 for two-story homes. Pricing is determined by the total linear footage of lighting and the complexity of your rooflines, ensuring a system tailored to your home.

Indoor lighting pricing is fully customized based on your home’s architecture and your specific requirements. Many customers begin with an outdoor system, as the core controller is expandable, allowing for seamless additions and upgrades to indoor or additional outdoor lighting in the future.

Features & Add-Ons

Digital Audio Responsive Lighting (D.A.R.L.)

Our patent-pending add-on product features our custom-designed Digital Audio Responsive Lighting (DARL) technology, transforming holidays and special events into unforgettable experiences.

Service & Warranty

What services and warranty are included?

With your initial purchase, we include two follow-up appointments, scheduled 60 and 120 days after installation. During these sessions, a technician will review your system, discuss your experience, and make any scene adjustments or updates you may require. An internet connection is required for these visits, as our technicians connect remotely to your system to provide seamless service.

Your purchase also includes a two-year parts and labor warranty, giving you peace of mind and assurance in the quality of our work. All systems feature high-quality power supplies and power conditioning units, ensuring consistent and reliable electrical service to your controllers.

Please note: the warranty does not cover damages caused by lightning, electrical surges, or other acts of God affecting the electrical service supplied to your home.

What additional services do you offer?

Long-Term Service Contracts – Extend your parts and labor warranty and gain access to additional programming services with a long-term service agreement, ensuring your system stays up-to-date and fully optimized.

Event Programming – Need extra scenes or custom automations for holidays, parties, or special occasions? Our technicians can program your system remotely—an internet connection is required for this service.

Audio/Video Consulting – We specialize in integrating and automating audio and video systems within your home. Whether it’s creating the ultimate Man Cave or a fully synchronized entertainment setup, starting with the right plan delivers the best results.

Pre-Construction Consulting – Building a new home? We provide expert guidance during the pre-construction phase to maximize the potential of your lighting and automation systems, ensuring seamless integration from the ground up.

Technical Training – While most customers prefer a fully managed experience, we offer personalized training for the technically inclined. Learn to use the Command Center App, make your own scene adjustments, and understand the overall system design. Remote internet access is required for training.

Change of Ownership Support – Selling your home? We offer a service to educate the new homeowner on your system’s capabilities. A new service contract is required, as original warranties and services do not transfer to new owners.

COMPARISON

Vegas Lights delivers a premium lighting experience that’s architectural, hidden when off, and spectacular when on. Our systems use high-resolution LED strips that blend seamlessly into your home’s design — not on top of it.

We use high-resolution, addressable LED strip systems that disappear into your architecture and deliver smooth, cinematic lighting — from subtle everyday scenes to holiday and special events choreographed with your favorite music playlist. Unlike traditional permanent ‘holiday’ strings or puck systems, our installations are built-in by design, not seasonal decorations. Our solution blends seamlessly into your home’s design — not on top of it. While our competitors
rely on visible, lower pixel density, puck-style bulbs that look like Christmas lights all year long.

  • Seamless, architectural look when off — not “holiday lights.”
  • Pixel-level control for smooth gradients and dynamic animations (movie/music sync).
  • Custom programming: lifestyle scenes; dawn to dusk, entertaining, holiday/special events and security.
  • Smooth gradients, fine chasing / movie-style pixel effects and subtle architectural fades. Great for sophisticated accenting and lifestyle scenes
The Vegas Lights Advantage
  • Architectural Integration: Our lights become part of your home, not decoration on it.
  • Custom Programming: We tailor lighting scenes to your lifestyle, not just a color wheel.
  • Premium Presentation: Designed to impress 365 days a year — not just during the holidays.
Why not just buy a competitor’s less expensive product?

Those systems are great if you want simple, seasonal color or a quick gameday setup. For clients who want lighting that looks like part of the house year-round and can do subtle everyday scenes as well as holiday and special events choreographed with your favorite music, our solution provides far more design and creative flexibility.

Will it look “too fancy” for my neighborhood?

No, because our solution can produce ultra-subtle, warm architectural washes, not only bright effects. They’re ideal when you want elegance by default and celebration on demand.

If your project demands a lighting solution that disappears into building architecture, elevates daily ambiance, and transitions seamlessly into high-impact holiday and special event modes — Vegas Lights delivers.
