Preview, then perfect.
The overview

What it is, and why it matters.

It is hard to picture a display from a list of materials. A preview takes a photo of your home and shows the lights where they will go, in the colors you are considering.

You can compare warm white, multicolor and other palettes, and adjust the design before anything is installed. Our Light the House tool also lets you try styles on sample homes right now.

Are previews exact?

Can I try colors on my own?

Yes. Our Light the House tool lets you try color themes on sample homes.
