Why anticipate your end-of-year illumination project?

Every year-end, Leblanc illuminations transforms our towns and living spaces into magical spaces.  However, to ensure that the enchantment is stress-free and unforeseen, everything starts well before the installation, as early as spring.

Anticipation guarantees a successful, controlled project that meets the expectations of residents, visitors and customers alike...

Illuminating your town: a project in its own right

End-of-year illuminations are not an insignificant decorative expense: they contribute to the image of the town or business, to its attractiveness, to the pride of its inhabitants, and even to the support of local commerce.

But behind the magic, there are :

• Technical issues (hooks, safety, power...)

• Logistical constraints (deadlines, delivery, authorizations, etc.)

• Budgetary considerations

• Sometimes a call for tenders

So it's not just a simple purchase, but a real project to manage.

The right timing: why anticipate as early as March-April?

The earlier you start, the more :

• Flexibility in your choice of decor

• Time for tailor-made creations

• Better cost control

• Available technical teams

• And above all... a project delivered on time, with no last-minute rush!

The months from September to November are often already overloaded with suppliers and installers. Launching your project in the spring means securing the entire chain.

Common mistakes

Despite the best of intentions, certain mistakes are made every year:

• Thinking that "it's too early to think about it".

• Relying solely on catalogues without checking deadlines

• Not involving technical departments upstream

• Launching the call for tenders too late, and having to scale back the project's ambition.

How do you structure your project?

Here are the pillars of a successful project:

1. Clearly expressed needs (areas, ambience, challenges)

2. A realistic schedule, agreed with the right people.

3. A validated budget

4. Structured specifications

5. Fluid dialogue between elected representatives, technical departments and service providers
