Common questions
Outdoor lighting FAQs
What is permanent outdoor lighting?

Can I control the colors and patterns myself?
Yes. The system is controlled from an app, with over 16 million colors, 20 dynamic movements and effects, and 100-plus preset patterns. You can control each light individually, set zones, and schedule when lights turn on and off.
