How installation usually flows
1) Walkthrough and layout mapping
We mark priority facades, entries, and travel paths so fixture positions match how you use the property at night.
2) Power and wiring plan
Transformer location and wiring routes are planned before installation so brightness stays consistent now and future fixture additions are ready-made.
3) Install and protect
Brass fixtures, wiring, and splices are installed with serviceability in mind, then tested under load before final tuning.
4) Night aiming and handoff
After dark, we tune beam direction and intensity balance so the final look is clean, safe, and easy to maintain.
When this package is the right fit
- You want a premium finish now: brass antique bronze complements high-end architecture and mature landscapes.
- You care about long-term fixture durability: stronger metal body option for exposed weather conditions.
- You still want a structured install path: same proven 16-fixture layout and service-ready electrical planning.
