Chip Tollefson • Apr 13, 2020

If your cable/TV doesn't appear to be working, here are some simple troubleshooting tips as well as suggestions for cleaning your TV screen and disinfecting your electronic devices.

We regularly have people contact us with problems getting their TV or cable to work, and don't know some very easy troubleshooting tips. Many times a service call can be prevented by just trying these simple steps, saving you frustration, time and money. There are also a few basic suggestions regarding TV screen cleaning and what NOT to use on your TV , laptop, or mobile devices. NEVER use common household cleaners without verifying that they are correct for your devices, as they can damage or remove some screen coatings. A Google search will tell you what cleaners will help without damaging your electronics.

If these steps don't resolve your issue and you are in the Tampa Bay area, please call us, so we can schedule a visit to fix your system.

A Renovation Journey: Color Changing Landscape Lighting Dissatisfied with the mundane look of his outdoor lighting from a different company, our client sought something which stood out. He had already completed a total renovation of his home's interior and, after following our projects on social media where we posted our color changing landscape lighting projects, knew he wanted the vibrant, color-changing lights.

Color Changing Landscape Lighting and Initial Thoughts I was speaking to a long-time client who recently upgraded every aspect of her extremely large waterfront home. She had removed the cabinets and the entire kitchen, and we had upgraded the audio/video/lighting and control systems. The interior designer did an impressive job on the interior design and decor, a photo-ready foyer that has had me and many others pulling out their phones to snap pictures. Amidst all of this, I mentioned that her home looked truly amazing during the daytime- but it looked very similar to the other houses on her block during the nighttime (knowing that she obviously wanted her home to stand out). She mentioned that she agreed, and it was also time for an outdoor change. I created a plan of attack to add some energy to her beautiful home that would make it truly a standout at night. We installed an FX Luminaire color-changing landscape lighting system.

Outdoor Entertainment Spring is almost here, and the long Tampa Bay summer is well on its way. Our daily highs are getting back to the 80's, and the low 90's will soon be a daily occurrence. In retrospect, were you satisfied with your outdoor entertainment area last summer?
