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. This choice promised not just illumination but an enhancement of his home’s nighttime charm, with the ability to tailor the ambiance for any occasion—from serene summer evenings to festive holiday nights.

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?

In-wall Volume Controls: Trouble Shooting the System A popular sports bar in St. Petersburg, Florida recently contacted Entertainment Pros about in-wall volume controls that weren’t working. This job involved troubleshooting the in-wall volume controls. These controls are more than enhancing audio quality; it’s about the logistics and ease of using AV systems in commercial settings . And for this bar, managing the system quickly was critical. Once we started troubleshooting the system, we quickly realized the volume controller went bad. Not only did we need to replace the component, we had to field destroy the controller. Here’s the fun part…

A Blend of Sound Quality and Room Aesthetics At Entertainment Pros, we've always believed a quality home entertainment system is a blend of sound quality and room aesthetics. We recently had the privilege of transforming a client's old surround sound system into a stunning 7.2 setup. The client approached us with a system installed by another company. Though functional, the installation's aesthetics were a letdown. Plywood was oddly used as a backing and to mount the left and right speakers - a sight more common in DIY projects. Additionally, the sound quality was subpar due to a misconfigured receiver, and a clutter of improperly managed wires added to the displeasure. Our goal? To revamp and elevate this setup to the Entertainment Pros standard.
