    • Nodes
      • Use in about 15% of house outlines

      • Very durable
      • More segmented light sections
      • More expensive, requires more lights
  • Requirements / Limits
    • Free design service only applies to purchases of entire systems including:
    • One type of light (ribbon, bulbs, nodes) can be used
  • Recommendations
    • If standing where your viewer is located and you cannot see a area such as the side of the house, top of roof, don't put lights there
    • Consider how complex it is to install and mount lights on areas such as curved windows and ridges of roof
  • Take ONE (no,really, we are serious, one) photo from the location where the viewer will be located
    • Photo must be high quality with a minimum of 2MP in size. Do not down res or reduce quality of photo.
    • Do not use "Google Maps Street View" for your photo, take a photo of what your house looks like right at this moment.
    • Take the photo straight on in the center of the house, do not use angles as this distorts the design
    • Do not use drone or satellite photos - viewers don't see the display from a drone angle
      • If you can't see the location from the ground where you want to install lights (ridge line, etc), viewers can't see these lights either
    • Do not make a collage of photos in a single picture - there should be only the photo of the house with the dimensions on the photo.
    • Mark-up photo (use any paint application such as Microsoft Paint or PixlR) showing exact location of lights to be installed.
    • Note: If you need multiple angles, multiple photos or have a complex design, we offer this in our paid design service
  • Mark locations where ALL possible lights are to be installed by using a solid line.
  • For each segment where lights are installed, place the length of that area in INCHES (not feet and inches or metric amounts)
  • No references to gutter, roof, door, window or other items should be necessary as the dimensions will be printed directly on the photo
  • Send this drawing to sales@holidaycoro.com with the subject line of "House Outline - Order XXXXX" - where XXXXX is your order number.
  • GREAT PHOTO:
    • Photo is taken straight on at face of house and not at an angle. Photo includes dimensions, even in different colors to aid in identifying sections. One side of building in photo:

  • INCORRECT PHOTO:
    • Single photo taken from viewing location, including clear dimensions on photo, one photo. Dimensions are not in inches.
  • INCORRECT PHOTO:
    • Photo has two sides of building on one photo (72" and 113"). Photo is taken slightly off-angle from face of house (excludes cases where viewing area is from this location):
  • INCORRECT / UNACCEPTABLE PHOTO:
    • Multiple angles - bush obscures house in photo. Take photo from customer viewing area. This photo includes two sides not permitted under free design services.
