>>> IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR WAYS
TO ENHANCE THE LOOK OF YOUR
HOME, THE PERFECT LIGHT CAN HELP
YOU GET READY FOR THE NEW SEASON
WITH NEW LIGHTING.
>> LEAD DESIGNER MICHAEL HOGAN
JOINING US NOW.
MICHAEL, THANKS FOR COMING IN.
A LOT OF FOLKS THINK LIGHTING,
THEY THINK CHRISTMAS TIME,
HOLIDAY TIME.
BUT GOING INTO SPRING IS KIND OF
THE PERFECT TIME TO DO YOUR
LIGHTING LANDSCAPE.
>> YES, MA'AM.
YOU'RE EXACTLY RIGHT.
THIS IS AN AWESOME TIME TO, WHEN
YOU'RE MAKING THE UPDATES TO THE
LANDSCAPING, TO GIVE YOU ONE ON
ONE CONSULTATION TO SEE WHAT WE
CAN DO ON YOUR PROPERTY.
>> ON SOME HOMES, DRIVING
THROUGH HOUSTON, SOME HOMES
THAT HAVE DONE THE LIGHTING ON
THEIR LANDSCAPING OR FEATURE
THEIR ARCHITECTURE, IT'S
MAKES.
WE'RE SEEING SOME OF THE PHOTOS
RIGHT BEHIND US.
TELL US HOW THE PROCESS WORKS.
IF I WANTED TO HAVE YOU COME UP
BEGIN?
>> FIRST AND FOREMOST, WHAT I
APPRECIATE A BETTER PROCESS, WE
START WITH A ONE ON ONE
CONSULTATION AT YOUR PROPERTY.
WE'D LIKE TO FIND OUT WHAT
YOU'RE EXPECTING, WHAT YOU'D
LIKE TO ACCOMPLISH, AND THEN
WE'D LIKE TO OFFER SUGGESTIONS
IF YOU'RE OPEN.
SECONDLY, WE'LL GO TO A
NIGHTTIME DEMONSTRATION WHEN WE
COME OUT AT NIGHT AND BRING
TEMPORARY LIGHTS OUT AND HIDE
THEM IN THE LANDSCAPING AND
SHINE ON THE ELEVATION OF THE
HOME OR OUT IN THE LANDSCAPING.
AND THEN WE'LL WALK THROUGH AND
ALLOW YOU TO MAKE CHANGES, TO
GET THINGS THE WAY YOU PREFER.
>> I'M NOTICING IT'S REALLY
SUBTLE.
I LOVE THAT YOU'RE LIKE WORKING
>> YES.
THE BIG THING WITH GOING TO THE
PROPERTY IS EVERYBODY'S
ELEVATION IS A LITTLE BIT
DIFFERENT.
EVERYBODY'S LANDSCAPE SOMETHING
A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.
VERY MUCH IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE
WANT TO FIGURE OUT WHERE ARE WE
GOING TO PLACE THE LIGHTS?
HOW ARE WE GOING TO SHINE THEM
EFFECT?
AND THEN YOU GET TO ACTUALLY
MAKE THE CHOICE ON HOW BRIGHT
THINGS SHOULD BE.
>> YOU GET COLORED LIGHTS, TOO?
>> THAT'S ACTUALLY IN THE POOL.
BUT MOSTLY WHAT WE'RE WORKING
WITH IS IN THE LANDSCAPING.
>> SO ALL AROUND THE POOL.
>> FROM THE DECKING AND
UPLIGHTING IN THE TREES AND
MAYBE MOONLIGHTING FROM UP HIGH.
>> WHEN YOU SAY THAT YOU PUT IN
TEMPORARY LIGHTING AT FIRST, SO
HOMEOWNERS HAVE A CHANCE TO SORT
OF LOOK AT HOW THE DESIGN IS
SHAPING UP.
FLEXIBLE ENOUGH OVER TIME THAT
THEY CAN MAKE CHANGES IF THEY
WANT TO?
>> THAT'S A GREAT POINT.
YES, YOU'RE EXACTLY RIGHT.
FLEXIBLE.
WE HAVE A LOT OF CUSTOMERS THAT
ANNUALLY.
SO WE GET TO GO OUT AND RELOCATE
THINGS, ADJUST THINGS.
MAYBE RAISE THINGS UP OR MOVE
THEM TO DIFFERENT LOCATIONS.
THAT.
>> YOU CAN REALLY HELP SOMEBODY
WHO HAS NO CLUE TO HOW THEY WANT
TO LIGHT THEIR HOUSE, RIGHT?
>> YOU'RE EXACTLY RIGHT.
DESIGN IS THE MOST IMPORTANT
PART O ANY LANDSCAPE.
ALL THE DESIGN OPTIONS ARE
CUSTOM TO THE PROPERTY.
>> LIKE THIS ONE WHERE YOU CAN
SEE ALL THE INDIVIDUAL LIGHT
>> THAT'S SO BEAUTIFUL.
>> YES, MA'AM.
>> NOW, I WANT TO ASK ABOUT
SECURITY, TOO, BECAUSE PEOPLE
THINK -- OBVIOUSLY THESE PHOTOS PHOTOS
ARE VERY BEAUTIFUL.
THAT POOL AREA LOOKS GORGEOUS.
IN SOME OF THE AREAS WHERE WE'RE
HOMES, NOT ONLY IS IT A GREAT
WAY TO HIGHLIGHT THE LANDSCAPING
AND ARCHITECTURE, BUT IT
>> YES, YOU'RE RIGHT.
WE'VE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO
SPEAK WITH LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT
OVER THE YEARS TO FIND OUT
REALLY CAN WE MAKE THAT CLAIM?
WHAT WE FOUND IS IF YOU HAVE
CONSTANT LIGHT ON AN ELEVATION
OR ALONG THE PROPERTY, THAT IS A
DETERRENT FOR SOMEONE WANTING TO
>> YEAH.
IT.
>> I HAVE A FRIEND WHO WORKED
FOR A SECURITY COMPANY AND HE
SAID THAT THE BIGGEST MISTAKE
THAT PEOPLE MADE AT NIGHT WAS
TURNING OFF ALL OF THEIR HOME
LIGHTS WHEN THEY WENT TO BED.
SO THIS IS THE KIND OF THING
THAT PEOPLE CAN LEAVE
ILLUMINATED ALL NIGHT LONG.
>> YOU'RE EXACTLY RIGHT.
USE?
>> WE MANUFACTURE SEVERAL
DIFFERENT TYPES OF LIGHTS.
I THINK YOU'VE SEEN A LOT OF THE
PHOTOS THE LIGHTS THAT ARE
ENHANCING THE ELEVATION ARE
USUALLY HIDDEN IN THE
LANDSCAPING.
THEY'RE AN LED LIGHT.
IN ONE OF THE PHOTOS WE SAW SOME
LIGHTS THAT WERE OUTLINING THE
POOL.
LED PATH LIGHTS.
IN SOME OF THE TALLER TREES WE
MIGHT HIDE LIGHTS AT THE HIGHER
DOWN.
THAT'S THE MOONLIGHTING EFFECT.
THAT'S ALSO LED.
>> SPEAKING OF GETTING IN THE
TREES, THIS IS ALSO A GOD TIME
TO MAYBE START THINKING AHEAD TO
>> ALREADY?
>> THANK YOU.
NOW IS THE TIME TO THINK ABOUT
CHRISTMAS 'CAUSE YOU GET SO
>> YES.
WE DO CHRISTMAS ESTIMATES YEAR
ROUND.
SO THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO TALK
ABOUT LANDSCAPE LIGHTING AND
ALSO TALKING ABOUT CHRISTMAS
DECORATIONS WHERE WE PROVIDE AN
ALL INCLUSIVE PACKAGE.
WE PROVIDE MATERIALS,
INSTALLATION, MAINTENANCE DURING
THE SEASON.
TAKE DOWNS AND STORAGE.
>> YOU GUYS HAVE SUCH A GREAT
THING BECAUSE YOU STARTED IN A
GARAGE IN CONROE AND TODAY ALL
THESE YEARS LATER, YOU LITERALLY
HAVE THOUSANDS OF CUSTOMERS
ACROSS THE STATE.
SO THANKS FOR MAKING THINGS A
LITTLE MORE BEAUTIFUL AROUND
WE APPRECIATE IT.
AND GUYS, THE PERFECT LIGHT HAS
NOW.
