Straight answers

The questions homeowners actually ask.

Cost, daytime visibility, lifespan, install day, and whether the app is a nuisance. No hedging — if the honest answer has a caveat, the caveat is in here too.

Frequently asked

Everything, plainly.

How much does a system cost?

It depends on the length and complexity of your roofline — a single-story ranch and a two-story home with six gables are genuinely different jobs, and any company quoting you a flat price sight-unseen is guessing.

What we can tell you: most homeowners find it compares closely to a few seasons of paying someone to hang and take down lights. The difference is that this is the last time you pay for it.

The design consultation is free and ends with an exact number. Your quote is your price — design, hardware, installation and app setup all included.

Can you see the lights during the day?

Barely — and this is the question almost everyone asks first.

The track is a low-profile aluminum channel, color-matched to your trim from sixteen available finishes, and it tucks up under the drip edge rather than sitting on the face of your house. From the street, your home looks exactly as it does today.

The honest answer: stand three feet from the eave and look up, and you’ll find it. From the sidewalk in daylight, you won’t.

How long do the lights last?

The LEDs are commercial-grade and rated past 50,000 hours. Light your house every single evening and you’re still measuring the lifespan in decades.

The system is engineered for sun, wind, rain and the occasional Texas ice storm. Every component is UL-rated and independently tested, and it’s covered by a five-year parts warranty with one year on labor. We’re local, so if something does go wrong you’re calling a company that’s a short drive away.

What does installation day look like?

Most homes are finished in a single day. Larger or more complex rooflines occasionally run into a second.

The crew on your roof is our own crew, and every installer is Bosso-certified. We don’t subcontract this work out — the people who show up are the people we trained, and they answer to us.

They mount the color-matched channel along your roofline and features, run every wire inside it, and install the controller near your electrical panel. No visible wiring, no holes in the wrong places, no mess left in your yard.

Before we leave, we connect the app on your phone, build your first few scenes and schedules with you, and make sure you can actually drive it.

Who actually does the work — you, or a subcontractor?

Us — and we think this is worth asking every company you talk to.

A lot of home-services companies sell the job and then hand it to whichever crew is available that week. We don’t. Bloom installs with its own crew, every installer certified by Bosso on this specific system.

It matters most after install day. If something needs attention in year three, you’re calling the same local company that put it up — not chasing a subcontractor who has moved on.

Is the app hard to use?

If you can send a text message, you can run these lights.

Pick a color from a wheel, tap one of the 400+ built-in presets, or just say what you want out loud — it works with Alexa, Google, Siri and Control4, and there’s an AI assistant inside the app you can talk to in plain language.

Realistically, most people set a schedule during the walkthrough — on at sunset, off at midnight — and then only open the app when there’s a holiday or a game.

Can I make my own patterns?

Yes, and further than most people expect.

You control timing, brightness, saturation, color, and scrolling or blinking effects. You can split the house into up to eight separate zones — gables one way, porch another — and switch off individual lights entirely if one happens to face a neighbor’s bedroom window.

Every look you build saves to your account, alongside 400+ presets and 15+ animations that ship with the app.

How bright are they, and will they bother my neighbors?

Each light puts out 72 lumens, dimmable anywhere from 0 to 100% and adjustable per zone.

In practice most homeowners run everyday warm white well below full brightness — it reads as architectural, not commercial. And because individual lights can be switched off entirely, any fixture aimed somewhere it shouldn’t be simply doesn’t come on.

Will this run up my electric bill?

No — this surprises people more than any other fact about the system.

Each light draws 0.96 watts. A typical home runs around 250 lights, which means the entire lit roofline uses roughly the same electricity as five ordinary light bulbs. Run them dimmed and it’s less again.

Can I control the lights when I'm not home?

Yes. The system is cloud-connected, so anywhere your phone has service, you can change the lights — useful for making the house look occupied while you’re away.

You can also set schedules that adjust themselves to sunrise and sunset year-round, and turn on geofencing so the house lights up as you pull into the neighborhood.
