Everything people ask before they book, plus the product facts owners ask afterward.
The basics
What is your service area?
Bradenton to Punta Gorda: Sarasota, Venice, North Port, Wellen Park, Lakewood Ranch, Englewood, Port Charlotte, Punta Gorda, and the towns between. Our shop is in Venice.
What is JellyFish Lighting?
A permanent, color-changing LED system for the outside of your home. Individual lights sit in a color-matched aluminum channel along the roofline or the cage. On a normal night it looks like soft recessed lighting. For holidays and parties it does any color and pattern, all from a phone app. Innovative Lighting is an authorized JellyFish dealer.
How long does installation take?
Most homes are done in about a day. Larger two-story homes or a full roofline plus cage can take two.
Can you see the lights during the day?
Barely. The aluminum channel is color-matched to your soffit or cage and sits tight to the structure. See the daytime photos in the gallery.
Do you install for businesses?
Yes. Storefronts, offices, restaurants, and clubhouses between Bradenton and Punta Gorda. Nighttime visibility every day, seasonal promotions in a tap.
Cost
How much does pool cage lighting cost in Florida?
Projects start at $4,500, and most pool cages land between $4,500 and $6,000 installed. Larger or two-story cages run more, and adding the pool coping ribbon or landscape lights adds to it. See the pricing page for what drives the number.
How much do permanent Christmas lights cost?
Projects start at $4,500. A front roofline usually lands between $4,500 and $6,000; the full roofline of a larger home runs $6,000 to $10,000. Length of roofline and the number of peaks are the main factors. Your estimate is an exact number after we see the property.
Are permanent Christmas lights worth it?
If you hire out the hanging every year or spend a weekend on a ladder, the system pays for itself in a few seasons. Then it keeps giving you the other 340 nights: warm white curb appeal, security lighting, and game-day colors.
Living with it
Will it look like too much on a normal night?
No. Most customers run a soft white most nights. Color is there when you want it, not when you don't.
Can I control the front of my home separately from the back?
Yes. Zoning lets you turn on only certain sections, or run different patterns on different parts of the home at the same time.
Can I save timers and schedules?
Yes. Save nightly and weekly timers plus calendar events for holidays. The system links to weather.com, so you can run sunset to sunrise without ever changing the clock.
Can I make my own patterns?
Yes. The lights are individually addressable, so you choose which lights are on and what color, from over 16 million. There are also 102 preset patterns and 20 animation effects.
Will my HOA allow it?
The channel is color-matched and low-profile by design, which is what architectural review boards care about. We give you the product spec sheet and daytime photos for your application.
Does the lighting attract bugs?
Far less than a porch bulb. LEDs put out almost no heat or UV, and warm white attracts fewer insects than cool white. Inside a cage, the screen does the rest.
Is it OK to have lights around a pool?
The lights mount to the aluminum cage frame and run on low voltage; the controller and the power connection sit away from the pool. We design every layout to Florida's pool electrical code.
What happens when I rescreen my cage?
Tell the rescreen crew, or use ours. The lights are on the frame, not the screen, and our sister company Gulf Coast Rescreen works around them every week.
The product
Can I make a soft white color?
Absolutely. Any color of white, from warm candlelight to bright daylight.
Are the lights dimmable?
Yes.
How long does the system last?
JellyFish is a robust, outdoor-rated LED system. The LEDs are rated for years and years of use, and the aluminum channel is built for exactly this climate.
Are the lights replaceable?
Yes. They are low voltage, so a homeowner can replace a light. We can also come out and do it.
How much electricity does it use?
On full bright white each light uses less than one watt. The controller pulls about 1.1 amps per 100 feet.
Where is JellyFish Lighting made?
According to JellyFish Lighting, the controller is manufactured at their factory in Orem, Utah, the metal is fabricated in Utah, Colorado, and Texas, and the LEDs are made in Asia to keep the product accessible.
