Smart scheduling

Working hours that follow the sunset

Dark comes two hours earlier in July than it does in January. Move the evenings you work and every open slot moves with them.

The appointment is dusk, and dusk moves.

This work cannot be shown in daylight and nobody signs it off unlit. Two usable hours a night, and they walk across the year.

  • Evenings are the working day

    Set the hours you genuinely work, override the weeks that differ, and the page will not offer anyone four in the afternoon.

  • Drag the week onto the new dark

    When sunset shifts, pull the walk-throughs later. Address, scheme and notes go with them and only the time on the job changes.

  • Free on any plan

    Shifting work around the calendar was never something anyone was going to pay for.

The same section, quoted three ways.

The deck and the steps. Add the beds and the nikau. Add the spa surround, the fence line and a wash across the front of the house. One document.

  • Priced off the fitting count

    Uplights, step lights and markers each take their own line and quantity, so the bigger scheme is a bigger number and not a rewrite.

  • The transformer sets the ceiling

    How much load is left over sits on the estimate where they can see it, which is what sells the second zone a couple of summers on.

  • Accepted the same evening

    They accept online by typing their name, usually straight after standing in the garden watching the thing come on.

  • Tiered options come with Pro

    Tiered options are a Pro feature, so the small scheme and the full one sit beside each other and the customer talks themselves up a tier. Cash and bank transfer are free on every plan.

Six dark evenings, and they go.

A trade that can only be demonstrated after dark runs out of evenings well before it runs out of people wanting one.

  • The enquiry still arrives

    With nothing free the page asks instead of closing, and the request turns up with photographs of the section already on it.

  • Offer a fortnight, not a night

    Most people will wait to have it done properly. They would just like to know roughly which week you are up to.

Saw the house on the corner lit up last night. Could you come and walk ours after dark?

Built for work you can only see at night

Built for every kind of scheme

Deck and step lighting

Priced per fitting, so eight step lights and a run along the handrail read as two lines instead of a number the customer has to trust.

Uplighting a pohutukawa

One spike, one cable run, one lamp choice, quoted per tree. Adding the cabbage tree is another line rather than another quote.

Spa pool and water feature lighting

Books as an evening job with the mains leg flagged on the record, so the certified part and the extra-low-voltage part stay separate.

Fence line and driveway markers

A long run priced by the metre and the marker count, and the sort of straightforward evening that fills a gap in a week.

Festoon over the deck

A short install that books itself online at the price your page shows, no call needed, no site visit before you turn up with the spool.

Front elevation and entry wash

Photograph it lit and it stays on the property record, which is what quotes the next two houses along the road for you.

Coastal fitting replacement

Salt takes fittings early. What you installed and when is on file, so the replacement round is quoted without going back to look.

Halogen-to-LED changeover

Quoted per fitting against the scheme already in the ground, because the original install is still sitting on the customer record.

Lamp-out and re-aim callout

Half an hour of work that only pays close to tonight. Pro ranks the open evenings by how much driving each one would add.

The property remembers what you put in it.

The lamps, the transformer rating, the route the cable took and the photographs of it lit all stay on the record, so the call about adding a zone two summers later is quoted from the file instead of another night on site.

Seen at nine, accepted by ten.

This sale is emotional and it is visual, and it never closes in an office. Send the scheme before you drive off, and it is read, compared and accepted by typing a name while the garden is still on outside the window.

How far you will drive into the dark.

A demonstration costs you a night rather than an hour, so the ground you cover matters more here than it does in a daylight trade.

Pro

A lamp out, on a night you are out anyway.

Three dead fittings only pay if they sit near tonight. Pro scores the open evenings on the driving each one would add to the run.

  • Ranked, not rearranged

    You still choose the evening. The ranking lifts the slots close to where the ute is already headed.

  • Small work that pays

    A blown lamp, a re-aim after the hedge grew and a timer reset are what turn half an empty evening into a paid one.

  • The ranking is the Pro part

    The calendar, the bookings and moving them about all stay free.

A new job being assigned, with three open slots ranked by how much travel each one adds to the day. The slot that adds the least is marked best.

Paid the night it is switched on.

You are standing in a lit garden with the customer beside you. There is no better moment this job will offer for asking for the balance.

  • Cash and transfer are free

    Mark it paid by hand and the receipt goes out on its own, without a plan being involved at all.

  • Cards come with Pro

    Send a payment request from the driveway for the customer who would rather tap than go and find their account details.

  • Staged, after the booking

    Pro can split a big scheme into a leg at the trenching and the balance on handover. It happens on the job, not at a checkout.

One app for the whole job

Everything you need to run your outdoor lighting business.

Scheduling

The only stage you get is after sunset. Set the evenings you work month by month and daylight never turns up as an available slot again.

Estimates

Deck only, deck and beds, or the whole section lit. Three schemes on one document and the customer climbs it without being pushed.

Online booking

The enquiry comes at nine at night, when the deck is dark and it bothers them. The page takes the walk-through while it still bothers them.

Bookings

The booking carries the transformer, the cable route and the fitting count, so the ute leaves with the right spool and the right lamps.

Customers

What went in, what the transformer runs at and how much headroom is left stays on the property, which is where the next zone gets quoted.

Territories

Two hours of dark a night is what you are spending. Mark the ground worth crossing for it and the rest arrives as a request instead.

Team

Whoever is pulling cable sees the address and the start time for the nights they are on, and nothing at all about what the job is worth.

Inbox

The homeowner adding the beds and the builder asking about the mains run each keep a thread, and both sit against the same install.

Payments

Cash and bank transfer recorded by hand are free. Cards come with Pro, as does a leg at the trenching and the balance on handover night.

Common questions.

The mains side does, and the work is closed out with a Certificate of Compliance under the AS/NZS 3000 wiring rules. A plug-in transformer running 12V fittings is extra-low voltage and is often a homeowner job. Both halves book and quote the same way here.

Yes. Tiered options put the deck-only scheme and the full garden scheme on the same document, so the customer compares them and chooses at the point of accepting. Options are the Pro part.

Weekly hours are set per person, with single-day and date-range overrides for the weeks that do not follow the pattern. Nothing outside those hours is offered to anyone.

The property keeps its own record: your notes, your photographs and the jobs themselves, so a corroded fitting on a coastal section is replaced from the file rather than from memory.

They open the link, read the tiers and accept by typing their full name, which is stored with the time. The accepted estimate turns into a booked install with the lines already on it.

The Free plan comes with a monthly booking allowance and no card required, and recording cash or a bank transfer costs nothing on it. Cards are the only part of the money that needs Pro.
