Question 1

How do I use my remote for color changing lights?

Accepted Answer

Your color changing lights come with a handheld remote that lets you select colors, adjust brightness, and switch between static and dynamic lighting modes. Most settings take effect instantly with the press of a button. For a full walkthrough with step-by-step visuals, visit our color remote guide linked below.

The remote included with your color changing light system gives you full control over how your lights look on any given night. You can choose from a range of solid colors, cycle through preset color patterns, adjust brightness levels, and set your lights to fade or transition between colors automatically.

A few tips to get the most out of your remote. Make sure you have a clear line of sight to the receiver when pressing buttons, as obstructions can reduce signal range. If your lights are not responding, check that the batteries in the remote are fresh. For systems with multiple zones, each zone may respond to its own channel, so confirm you are on the correct one before adjusting.

Question 2

Can you replace existing exit and emergency signs without rewiring everything?

Accepted Answer

Yes. As an Atlanta outdoor lighting company and licensed contractor, Lights Over Atlanta can often replace exit signs and emergency lights using your existing wiring. We match the voltage and circuit, swap the fixture, and test battery backup. Rewiring is only needed when wiring is damaged or unsafe.

You can usually replace existing exit signs and emergency lights without rewiring everything. Most units are powered from normal building circuits, even when they have an internal battery for emergency operation.

On a typical replacement, Lights Over Atlanta verifies the circuit voltage, checks the junction box and mounting style, then swaps the fixture and tests charge and emergency mode. If you want an efficiency upgrade, we can convert existing fixtures to LED where appropriate, which helps cut service calls and keeps light output crisp.

You will only need new wiring when the existing conductors are damaged, unsafe, or not compatible with the new fixture, or when an inspection calls for a correction. That is where working with a licensed general electrical and low voltage contractor matters.

If you are planning broader improvements, we can bundle exit and emergency work into Commercial Lighting Installation, LED Retrofit and Conversion, or ongoing Lighting Maintenance, along with parking lot lighting and warehouse lighting support, so your property stays consistent and supports compliance expectations with less downtime.
