Lights that fit the streets of Chicago.
City homes and buildings are close to the sidewalk, so every detail is on show: window outlines, door wreaths, wrapped street trees and balcony rails. Tight access and busy streets mean planning the lift, the parking and the timing before the crew arrives.
Windows and doors
Clean outlines of tall windows and a wreath on every door make a row of homes shine.
Tight access
Narrow streets, stoops and shared walls call for a plan, the right lift and careful work.
Balconies and storefronts
Railings, awnings and storefronts are lit with commercial-grade bulbs built for foot traffic.
