FAQs
How does Watts LED Lighting System compare to other programmable LED Lighting Systems?
Watts lights are low power, customizable, easy to use, reliable, and safe all year round! These lights are specifically designed to be subtle, and nearly invisible during the day, and used to accent the home in the evening without being over-done. Watts lights have been specially designed with extensive research to output the perfect lumens so that it gives your home a customized and luxurious look. The lights still brighten up the yard for security or during Christmas and holidays, they provide an unparalleled festive feeling, but they are safe for light pollution to use any time, day or night. The custom-built track system ensures that when you don’t want your lights to be seen, they blend into the house and are barely noticeable. In addition, most customers love the warm white LED. Watts lights use a unique control to be able to have a warm white, luxurious, architectural lighting. The warm white staggered patterns allow your home to stand out in a luxurious and welcoming way. Watts has one of the best warranties in the business and unlike most of the competitors, they are currently expanding their product line to allow for even more control from a single interface.
What is the life span of the Watts LED Lighting System?
Watts lights are rated for 50,000 hours depending on the average brightness.
What is the power consumption of the Watts LED Lighting System?
Watts lights are .72w per light. This is at full colour and maximum brightness. Most customer homes use less power in a year than a single traditional pot light bulb. If power consumption is a major concern, we suggest keeping our bulbs dimmed. This can reduce power consumption even further.
Do I need a separate electrical box?
There needs to be some source for power close to where the control box needs to be placed. It is rare that we need to run a new electrical box, but it has occurred. Usually, this is only on older homes.
Can my LED lights burn out?
Technically, Watts lights can’t burn out like a traditional light bulb, although the lights can fail over time. Watts has one of the best warranties in the industry to help support this. The lights are technically rated for 50,000 hours while most people experience usage far beyond these numbers.
Are Watts lights CSA, UL, or ETL approved?
Yes! Watts control box is CSA and ETL certified, and the lights are UL certified. Watts lights meet all building codes and regulations. For commercial applications, they also have special lights that can be installed with stricter certifications when required.
Can the Watts LED Lighting System be used for commercial installation?
Absolutely! We offer commercial applications and currently Watts has several commercial clients. The system for commercial does have a different requirement than for residential. Our systems (both for home and commercial) meet all local bylaws and building regulations. Watts has also designed specific systems that are purpose-built for different applications. This means that if our base product does not work for your commercial application we can sit down and work with you on a custom product that will perfectly meet your needs. The product is so adaptable, you will be surprised how cost effective our solutions can be compared to the competitors.
Can I modify or add to my Watts LED Lighting System myself?
Unfortunately, no. Any modifications made to the Watts system without an authorized technician will void all warranties. We can not be responsible for modifications made to a Watts system unless performed by a Watts technician. This includes any physical changes or software changes.
Can I add on to my existing Watts LED Lighting System?
You sure can! There are always some limitations including power, and how many lights your house currently has on it but we can always add more lights.
Do you color match the track to my soffit color?
We use swatches from the 3 largest suppliers of soffit and fascia material for homes. We use this to provide a perfect match. In instances where the color has faded over the years, for older homes, and for homes with luxury options like solid wood, we have matching solutions that blend in with your home.
