Permanent lighting proposal template differences

  • Name the system (channel colour, RGBW or RGBWW) and the controller or app.
  • List warranty terms for product and workmanship.
  • Show footage by zone, since permanent systems are priced by the foot once.
  • Explain year-round use: holidays, game days and everyday white light.

Skip the template: generate the estimate from your measurements

Templates still leave you measuring, typing and doing math. LightingBid Pro builds the estimate from the zones you measured, fills in your logo, systems, prices, extras and terms, attaches AI previews of the home, and prints or shares it in one click.

Frequently asked questions

What should be on a Christmas light estimate?

Company and client details, scope with footage, lighting type and per-foot price, extras, service dates, total and payment terms, validity period and ideally a picture of the home lit up.

You can use the section list on this page as a free template. For a faster option, LightingBid Pro builds the estimate automatically from your measurements with a 14-day free trial.

Should I include a picture in the estimate?
