Straight answers

Frequently asked questions.

If your question is not here, call 817-229-9246 and ask. We would rather talk it through than have you guess.

How much does permanent outdoor lighting cost?

The quote depends on the length and shape of your roofline, access, power, and the layout you choose. Text Jesse your address and a photo to start the conversation; a property review helps pin down the scope and price.

Can you see the lights during the day?

The lights sit in a slim track beneath the soffit or along the fascia. How visible the track is depends on its placement and your home's trim. We will talk through the available finish and mounting options with you.

How does the lighting attach to my home?

Permanent lighting track mounts along the soffit or fascia. The right fastening method depends on the material and condition of your home. Ask Jesse to walk through the proposed attachment points and installation details before work begins.

How long do the LEDs last?

Service life depends on the selected components, how often you use the lights, and outdoor conditions. Ask for the specifications of the system in your quote, along with the process and cost for replacing a light if one needs attention.

How do I control the lights?

The manufacturer's system uses the Surplife app. It offers custom colors, dimming, preset scenes, timers, and calendar scheduling. Individually addressable lights allow different colors along a run; discuss the controller setup for your home when getting a quote.

Is permanent lighting just for Christmas?

You can use white light for everyday evenings, then change the colors for Christmas, Halloween, birthdays, or game day. The track stays installed, so a different occasion starts with a different setting in the app.

Will my HOA allow it?

Requirements vary by neighborhood, and some associations restrict visible fixtures, installation changes, or colored lighting. Check your HOA's rules and any approval process before booking, and share those requirements when discussing your layout.

How much electricity will the lights use?

Electricity use depends on the number of lights, brightness, colors, and hours they run. Dimming and timers let you control how the system is used. Ask for the proposed system's power requirements when reviewing your quote.

What warranty comes with it?

Ask Jesse for the written warranty terms for your quoted system before booking. Review which parts and installation work are covered, the length of coverage, and how to arrange service if a light needs attention.

When should I book holiday lighting?

Reach out ahead of the holiday season with the date you would like your lights ready. Jesse can check current availability and discuss installation timing. Weather, access, and the scope of the display all affect the schedule.

What areas do you serve?

Unique Illuminations serves Fort Worth and the surrounding DFW area, including Arlington, Keller, Southlake, Colleyville, Grapevine, Mansfield, Burleson, Aledo, and Weatherford. Send your address to confirm availability for your property.

How long does installation take?

The timeline depends on roofline length, height, access, mounting surfaces, and power setup. Jesse can discuss an expected schedule after reviewing your home. Weather and site conditions may also affect the installation date.

Is Unique Illuminations connected to Unique Lawn Design?

Yes. Jesse's holiday lighting work through Unique Lawn Design led to Unique Illuminations, a separate business focused on outdoor lighting. It brings that seasonal work together with permanent lighting options for homes.
