How does the billing process work?
We follow a simple billing procedure: a deposit, usually 50%, is required to reserve an installation date, followed by the remaining amount to be settled at the final installation visit. We prefer payment via credit or PayPal, though cash and cashier’s checks are also accepted.
How much electricity do these lights use?
The lights are energy-efficient, UL listed LEDs, and pull about 1.1 amps of power per 100 feet of lighting. On their brightest setting, the lights use less than 1 watt of power. In other words, this is one of the most energy-efficient solutions for holiday and accent lighting.
Do I have to be in my home to control the system?
No, you can control your lights from anywhere! The JellyFish Lighting app is cloud based. As long as your home WiFi is working properly and you have access to internet on your mobile device, you can control and customize your lights from your kitchen or from Connecticut.
Are your lights warm white or cool white?
The JellyFish Lighting app has white presets at 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, 4000K, and 5000K to match whatever color temperature you prefer, or you can create a custom white setting to match other lighting fixtures.
How durable is this system?
The JellyFish Lighting system uses outdoor-rated LEDs that are known for their durability. Many JellyFish lighting systems from 2016 – the year of its inception – are still in use today.
What kind of maintenance is required?
From time to time a light may go out. Those can be replaced by the homeowner, or we can take care of it for you for a minimal cost.
Do you offer a warranty?
Yes, we offer a 1-year labor warranty and a 5-years warranty on parts.
Can I make my own lighting patterns?
Absolutely! While the app comes with 102 preset lighting schemes, you can also create your own. For especially hands-on customers, you can even adjust each individual light to get exactly the right look.
Can control certain areas of my house separately?
Yes, you can. Our app allows you to create zones for different areas of your house. You can then adjust settings, including on and off times and lighting patterns, according to zones.
Can I set timers for the my lights?
Yes, you can set timers for holidays, special occasions, or gamedays. The JellyFish app is linked with weather.com, so you can set timers relative to sunset and sunrise times in your location. And you can set multiple daily, weekly, and yearly timers.
How long does installation take?
While installation time depends on many factors, such as building size and difficulty, we average ~150 feet per day.
Where is the controller installed?
The controller and any additional power supplies must be installed indoors to protect them from the elements. This is typically done on a wall in your garage safe from where they can be plugged into an outlet. Depending on the wiring, one controller can power up to 300 ft, and additional controllers can be added for additional distance. Low voltage wire is run from the controller to the first section of accent lighting.
