FAQ for Landscape & Permanent Lighting
Why is low-voltage lighting preferred?
Low-voltage lighting is an excellent choice for residential settings, operating safely at just 12V of electricity. In contrast, your home’s current electrical system operates at 120V, which can present safety risks, especially during adverse weather conditions. Beyond safety, low-voltage lights are more energy-efficient, helping you save on energy costs, and their long-lasting bulbs require minimal maintenance. Plus, installation is quicker and easier, making it a hassle-free upgrade for your home.
What is Permanent Lighting?
Permanent lighting differs from traditional outdoor or holiday lighting in that it offers a year-round solution. We install a custom-designed lighting system on the exterior of your home or business, tailored to the specified dimensions and layout. The result is a flawless, color-matched installation that is securely mounted and provides the convenience of customizable, color-changing lighting at your fingertips.
What Types of lights are used for landscape lighting?
Path lights: Placed along walkways and driveways to guide the way and add a soft glow.
Spotlights: Used to highlight trees, sculptures, or architectural features.
Floodlights: Provide broader illumination for large areas or to enhance security.
Deck & step lights: Installed on stairs, decks, or patios to ensure visibility and safety.
Wall lights: Mounted on walls or fences to provide accent lighting.
How do I maintain my landscape lights?
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the fixtures to remove dirt and debris, checking the wiring for damage, and replacing bulbs when needed. LED lights generally require less maintenance than traditional bulbs. MR Lit provides maintenance agreements and a hassle free service. Our annual maintenance also ensures the longevity of the products we provide and install.
FAQ for Holiday Lighting
You might have some questions before deciding to give your home a stunning makeover this season. Check out our FAQ below, and feel free to email us if there’s anything we can do to ensure you’re ready to make this season BRIGHT!
I expected a lower cost.
We understand that our prices might be higher than you anticipated, but there are several important reasons behind our pricing that we’d like to explain. First and foremost, securing insurance in Florida can be both challenging and costly. In fact, the coverage we carry is similar to that of roofers, as working on ladders and roofs carries inherent risks. For your peace of mind, we ensure that all of our team members are fully insured, so you can rest easy knowing they are covered while working on your property.
Additionally, we believe in providing fair compensation for our seasonal team members. We hire skilled professionals who are committed to delivering exceptional service and meticulous attention to detail. Happy and well-compensated crews go above and beyond to ensure your holiday display is nothing short of perfection. Unlike other companies that may simply install lights and leave, MR Lit offers a comprehensive, worry-free experience. We’re dedicated to making sure your home shines brighter every year, with the same level of care and dedication from start to finish.
Do I keep the lights?
No, the lights we install are not yours to keep. Each season, we supply and maintain the lights, allowing for a truly all-inclusive experience. Here are some advantages of not owning aging equipment and tangled cords:
Stress-Free Holidays: Enjoy the magic of the season while we take care of everything else.
Exceptional Service Every Year: We earn your business annually by providing tailored, hassle-free service.
Fresh Look Each Season: Want a new design next year? You can easily change your display with different colors at no extra cost, keeping your holidays exciting.
No Maintenance Hassles: You won’t have to worry about replacing burnt-out bulbs or strands; our service keeps your display pristine.
Can MR Lit install my lights?
For liability reasons, our insurance policy prevents us from installing customer-supplied lights or those from other companies. We believe in offering only the best for our customers, which is why we use high-quality, commercial-grade lights that we personally provide. This ensures that you receive the top-notch service and reliability that MR Lit is known for. As a result, we are unable to install any items supplied by customers, but rest assured, our selection is designed to exceed expectations and create a stunning display
What does “All Inclusive” mean?
We provide premium commercial LED lights, clips, cords, and a timer(s). We customize the lights to fit your home and set the timer for your desired schedule. Installation, removal, and maintenance are all included in our service. We’ll remove the lighting after the holidays—typically in mid-January, weather permitting.
What will my price be next year?
The details can vary depending on the client, but generally, when you sign a 3-year agreement, we offer a 10% discount for the years following the first. Additionally, the agreement ensures that you’ll be prioritized for early installation in the years to come. Feel free to reach out to us for more information or to discuss the details further!
