RGB Color-Changing Lighting in Corpus Christi, TX

What RGB lighting is

RGB stands for red, green and blue. An RGB fixture contains all three, and by mixing them at different levels it can produce a very wide range of colors. One fixture, changed whenever you like.

That flexibility is the point. Instead of choosing a color once and living with it, you choose a color for tonight.

Where it works best

• Rooflines and architectural lines
• Building facades and columns
• Trees and palms, which take color especially well
• Entries, monuments and signage
• Patios, pools and outdoor living areas
• Event spaces and backdrops

RGB lighting for homes

At home, color-changing lighting means holidays without changing a bulb: red, white and blue in July, orange in October, red and green in December. It also means school colors on game night, a favorite color for a birthday and plain white the rest of the time.

RGB lighting for businesses

For a business, color is branding. A building or a row of palms in your brand colors is visible from the road every night. The same lighting can change for a promotion, a holiday, homecoming week or a community cause, without installing anything new.

RGB lighting for cities and public spaces

Municipal buildings, downtown districts and landmarks use color-changing lighting to mark holidays and community events throughout the year. It pairs naturally with commercial and municipal holiday displays.

Control from your phone

Our app-based options let you change the look from a smartphone or tablet. For a roofline system that stays up year-round, see permanent and app-controlled lighting.

RGB, permanent and holiday lighting: how they relate

The terms overlap. Permanent roofline lighting is one use of color-changing LED. RGB lighting is the broader category, and it also covers trees, facades, landscapes and events. A seasonal holiday display adds the greenery and wrapped trees that color alone does not.

RGB lighting also combines well with landscape lighting, where most fixtures stay white and a few key features can change color.

A year of color

Here is how clients use one installation over twelve months.

• February: red and pink for Valentine's Day
• March: green for St. Patrick's Day
• Spring: soft pastels for Easter
• May through July: red, white and blue for Memorial Day and the Fourth
• Fall: school colors on game nights and for homecoming
• October: orange and purple for Halloween, or pink for awareness month
• November: amber and gold for Thanksgiving
• December: red and green, or classic warm white
• Any time: birthdays, anniversaries, graduations and a new baby

Solid color, scenes and movement

Color-changing lighting can do more than hold one color. Depending on the product, it can alternate colors along a run, fade slowly from one shade to another or play animated effects. Among the lines we install, Twinkly Pro is built for app-mapped effects on trees and displays, and PermaLites365 is made for permanent rooflines.

We help you decide how much of that you actually want. Many clients set up a handful of favorite scenes and switch between them.

White still matters

Most nights of the year, most people want white. A good RGB system produces a clean warm white for everyday use, so the house or building looks elegant on an ordinary Tuesday and the color is there when the occasion calls for it.

Designing with color

Color is strongest when it is used with some restraint. One or two colors read better from the street than six. Saturated color looks best on simple surfaces: a plain wall, a roofline, the trunk of a palm. And color on a building looks more finished when the landscape around it is lit in white. We design with all of that in mind and set up starting scenes for you.

What affects the price

• What is being lit: roofline, facade, trees or all three
• The number of fixtures or the length of the run
• The height of the building
• Where power and controls will be located
