Switching Christmas Light Design Tools

Built to replace what you’re using today.

Most installers reading this already have a design workflow. Here’s what Lumineer fixes about the three most common ones.

Coming from Strandr or HHC

Photo-realistic night, with real math

Flat plan-view drawings and basic light overlays can't show the finished job or guarantee the bulb count. Lumineer ships AI night previews, live materials math, and branded quotes — all in one workflow, all off the same photo.

Lumineer vs Strandr
Coming from iPad markup

As fast to draw. 10× better output.

Apple Pencil on a photo (or Jolly Lights) is quick to sketch — but you end up with a sketch, not a materials list, a team-shareable design, or an auto-saved source file. Lumineer is just as fast to draw, and the output is a counted, priced, client-ready quote.

Coming from AI mockups

Photo-realistic AND editable

ChatGPT and MidJourney render a beautiful scene in 60 seconds — then you're stuck with whatever they gave you. Lumineer gives you the same photo-realistic night scene, plus everything else: move any strand, count every bulb, guarantee the lights are actually installable, and export a branded quote.

Christmas Light Proposal & Quote Tool

The same workflow. Without the three other tools.

Photo capture, drawing, materials math, branded proposal — one app, one pass. Replace the hand-off between your camera, your spreadsheet, and your mockup editor.

  1. 01

    Upload the photo on-site

    Snap the house from your truck. Drop it into Lumineer on any device.

  2. 02

    Draw the strands, math runs itself

    Trace the rooflines and fill the shrubs. Bulb counts and linear feet tally in real time.

  3. 03

    Send the quote before you leave

    Export a branded PNG with the night preview. Attach it to your proposal before starting the truck.

Zach, founder of Lumineer, standing in front of a house
From the founder

Hi, I’m Zach.

I built Lumineer because the tools my crew had been using — Strandr, Holiday Home Concepts, iPad markups, a pile of spreadsheets — never quite did the thing: a photo-realistic night preview and an accurate materials list, off one photo, in one workflow.

This is the tool I wanted for my own installs. So it’s the tool I’m shipping.
