Question 1

Is the wiring for my outdoor lighting hidden?

Accepted Answer

Yes. For every permanent accent and landscape lighting system installed by Lights Over Atlanta, wiring is concealed beneath mulch, sod, gravel, mortar joints, gutters, or hardscape so your finished system looks like it has always been part of the property. Christmas lighting cords are managed cleanly during install, but because the display is temporary, those runs are part of the system rather than buried.

Clean installation is a primary part of how we work. When our crews install a low-voltage landscape lighting system, we trench, bury, and weather-seal every run of cable so there are no visible wires running across your beds, lawn, or hardscape. On stone, brick, or masonry surfaces, we route wiring through inconspicuous conduit or hide it in mortar joints, and we patch behind every fixture so nothing distracts from the architecture.

For Christmas lighting, the cords are part of the system because the display is temporary, but our installers carefully manage every run with proper clips, hidden tucks behind gutters and trim, and clean transitions to power so the finished display looks polished rather than tangled.

The end result for either system is lighting that feels intentional from a distance and holds up to close inspection.

If you have ever seen a property where extension cords snake across the lawn or wires hang from a façade, that is exactly what our process is built to avoid. If you have questions about how we would route wiring on a specific area of your property, give us a call at (470) 870-0606 and our designers can walk you through it during your consultation.

Question 2

If we start small the first year, can we add more holiday lighting elements over time? What other elements do you offer?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We treat your holiday lighting as a modular, growing display. We’ll store and label your first-year lights, then easily layer on new features each season—no ladders for you. Popular add-ons include roofline and gable outlines, tree and shrub wraps, wreaths, garlands, and more.

Lights Over Atlanta designs every project with future growth in mind. Our certified designers plan power capacity, timers, and attachment points so your first-year display can expand smoothly when you’re ready to go bigger. Because we use commercial-grade LED strands and plug-and-play connectors, adding extra runs or swapping colors takes hours, not days. After the holidays we carefully remove, label, and store your lights in our warehouse; the following season we simply re-install your existing pieces and integrate any upgrades you choose.

Clients often start with a classic white roofline outline, then add layers like:

Mini-lights wrapped around trees, columns, or railings
Pre-lit wreaths and garlands for doors, windows, and gates
Ground stakes outlining walkways or driveways

Whether you own a home near Atlanta or manage a retail storefront, we handle design, installation, takedown, and off-season storage—no hassles, no tangled wires. Plus, our lifetime-warranty LEDs sip energy, so even a larger second-year display adds pennies to your bill.

Question 3

Do you work on existing systems?

Accepted Answer

Lights Over Atlanta focuses its maintenance and warranty support on systems we design and install. For existing systems installed by another company, we do not take over routine maintenance, but we can evaluate the system and recommend the best path forward. In most cases, that means a redesigned or replacement system rather than patching previous work.

Lights Over Atlanta is built around a design-build-maintain model, which means we stand behind the systems we create from the ground up. For lighting we have designed and installed, we offer ongoing maintenance plans, warranty coverage, and responsive service to keep everything performing the way it should.

For systems installed by another company, our approach is different. We do not take over routine maintenance or repairs on work we did not design, because we cannot verify the quality of the materials, wiring, or fixture placement. Without that foundation, patching individual problems often leads to recurring issues and wasted money.

What we can do is evaluate your current system. If you are dealing with dim spots, flickering fixtures, outdated halogen bulbs, or problems left behind by a previous contractor, our team can walk your property, diagnose what is going on, and give you an honest recommendation. In most cases, we suggest a redesigned or full replacement system built to our standards. That gives you a clean starting point with professional-grade fixtures, proper wiring, and full warranty and maintenance coverage going forward.

For residential properties, this often means replacing an aging low voltage system with a new LED design that improves both the look and reliability of your lighting. For commercial properties, it could mean upgrading outdated parking lot poles, converting old hallway or garage fixtures to LED, or replacing a patchwork of repairs with a unified lighting plan.

If you are unsure whether your current system is worth saving or replacing, we are happy to take a look. Contact us at (470) 870-0606 to schedule an evaluation. There is no obligation, and we will give you a clear picture of your options.

Question 4

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.
