Red Clay field guide · Commercial & HOA
Holiday lighting that works for the whole property.
Commercial lighting must look festive, support the customer or resident experience, work around operating hours, and remain serviceable throughout the season.

Proposal checklist
Planning timeline
Different sites, different priorities
Build the display around how the property is used.
Arrival and visibility
Support road visibility, pedestrian arrival, storefront rhythm, and customer-facing hours.
Shared focal points
Coordinate entrances, monuments, common areas, approvals, and resident expectations.
Access and consistency
Plan around operating schedules, building access, repeatable standards, and service contacts.

A useful proposal
Make responsibilities and assumptions clear.
Multi-building and HOA projects benefit from one approval path and one primary service contact.
- Exact areas and buildings included
- Lighting style and design approvals
- Installation windows and access rules
- Power and equipment assumptions
- Maintenance, takedown, and primary contact
Start before the calendar tightens
Leave room for approvals and coordination.
Commercial projects can add lead time for site reviews, tenant schedules, access equipment, design approval, and coordinated installation windows.
Business, HOA, or managed property
Start with the site and target date.
Send the property type, priority areas, approval process, operating constraints, and desired completion timing.
