How long does a typical outdoor lighting installation take?

Most residential installations are completed in one to two days, depending on the scope and complexity of the project. Larger estates with extensive landscaping or multi-zone systems may require up to three days. Our team works efficiently and cleanly, minimizing disruption to your household throughout the process.

Are the lights truly permanent? Will they stay up year-round?

Yes. The system is low-voltage and plugs into an existing exterior outlet. Installation does not change your home's wiring. Fixtures sit in a premium commercial-grade track along the fascia and stay up year-round.

What warranty does JDM Lighting offer on outdoor lighting?

New installations include a 5-year parts and labor warranty. The system uses long-life LEDs and is designed for low maintenance.

Can I control the outdoor lights from my smartphone?

Yes. Every installation includes access to our smart, cloud-based app, compatible with iOS and Android. Control your lights from anywhere in the world — adjust individual zones, switch between saved scenes, schedule automatic on/off times, and set seasonal color calendars. The app also includes a huge selection of pre-designed animations and scenes for holidays and special occasions.

How much does permanent exterior lighting cost?

Every home is different. JDM Lighting provides a free custom quote after a consultation and does not publish a per-foot price.

Why are some permanent lighting systems cheaper?

Lower-cost permanent lighting systems are typically less expensive because they use surface-mounted lights instead of concealed aluminum track systems. These systems often have visible wiring or hardware and uneven lighting. Ask what the warranty covers and for how long. JDM Lighting uses a concealed, color-matched track. New installations include a 5-year parts and labor warranty.

Is JDM Lighting better than DIY systems like Govee?

DIY systems like Govee are designed for temporary or decorative use, while JDM Lighting installs a premium commercial-grade track system. New installations include a 5-year parts and labor warranty.

How long do permanent exterior lights last?

JDM Lighting uses long-life LEDs and designs the system for low maintenance. We do not publish an hour rating or a year count.

Can you see the lights during the day?

No — JDM Lighting systems are installed in a color-matched aluminum track placed at the outer edge of the eaves, making them nearly invisible during the day. This is one of the main differences between premium systems and surface-mounted lights, which are often visible from the street.

What cities and areas does JDM Lighting serve in Utah?

JDM Lighting serves Utah County cities, plus Draper and Salt Lake City. Lehi is included with Utah County.

How many colors can the permanent outdoor lighting display?

Our RGBW LED systems are capable of producing over 16 million color combinations. In practice, most clients choose two to five curated scenes they cycle through regularly — warm white for everyday ambiance, a signature color for entertaining, and seasonal palettes for holidays.

Do you offer financing for outdoor lighting installation?

No. JDM Lighting does not offer financing.

Will the installation damage my home's exterior or landscaping?

The system is low-voltage and plugs into an existing exterior outlet. Installation does not change your home's wiring. Installers work around existing landscaping.

Can the outdoor lighting withstand Utah's extreme weather?

Fixtures are rated for outdoor exposure, including rain, freezing temperatures, UV, and wind. We do not publish a climate test report.
