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. Unlike clip-on or adhesive holiday lights, our permanent track systems are hard-wired directly into your home's electrical panel. Fixtures are mounted in discreet channels along your home's fascia and architectural features, becoming a seamless part of the structure. They are weatherproof, rated for continuous outdoor use, and built to last 25+ years.

What warranty does JDM Lighting offer on outdoor lighting?

We offer a 5-year product warranty on all fixtures and components, plus up to 15 years of labor warranty coverage. Our lights are built to last 25+ years with minimal maintenance, ensuring your investment is protected for decades to come.

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 outdoor lighting cost in Utah?

Investment levels vary significantly based on property size, scope, and the complexity of the design. Landscape-only projects for a single zone typically begin around $3,500. Full-home permanent track lighting systems for a large estate range from $12,000 to $35,000 or more. We provide a detailed, itemized quote following the on-site consultation with no obligation.

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?

Yes. We partner with GreenSky to offer financing plans with terms of 12, 24, and 60 months, including promotional no-interest options for qualified applicants. Details are provided during the consultation and approval is typically same-day.

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

We take extraordinary care to preserve your property. All wiring is concealed through discreet conduit or buried underground at code-compliant depths. Our installers are trained to work around existing landscaping, and we restore any disturbed areas to their original condition. We've completed hundreds of installations without a single complaint about property damage.

Can the outdoor lighting withstand Utah's extreme weather?

Yes. All fixtures and wiring are rated for full outdoor exposure, including direct rainfall, freezing temperatures, UV exposure, and high winds. Our track systems have been designed specifically for Utah's demanding climate, including freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snowfall, and intense summer sun.
