Permanent, Christmas and landscape lighting in Moon Township, PA
Moon Township is the airport corridor: hotels, office parks and restaurants along University Boulevard and Route 60, plus quiet residential streets between Robert Morris and the Ohio River. Thraxel installs permanent, Christmas and landscape lighting here from Kittanning, about 58 miles and 72 minutes away.
Moon is two towns at once. Along the highway it is hotels, car rental lots, office parks and quick-service restaurants competing for travelers who have just landed. In the neighborhoods behind them it is 1960s ranches and split-levels, then newer plans on the hills above the Ohio. We light both, and the systems are the same hardware scaled differently.
For commercial properties the argument is visibility. A hotel or restaurant facade running a color scene at night is seen from the road in a way that no backlit sign is, and the scenes change with the calendar: red and green in December, black and gold on Steelers weekends, corporate colors the rest of the year. Everything is scheduled from the app, and a manager never touches a ladder.
Residential Moon work is grouped with Sewickley and the Beaver County side of the river. It is about 72 minutes from our shop, so we build route days. Homes near the airport approach get more wind than most of Allegheny County, which is a reason to choose mounted aluminum track over anything clipped on for a single season.

Airport-corridor commercial and Ohio River wind
The permanent system we install on houses is the same one we install on hotels, office parks, plazas and restaurants along the corridor. Commercial jobs get more controllers, more zones and a longer run of track, but the pixels are identical: RGBWW, individually addressable, sealed in IP67 marine-grade silicone. Signage, facade and entrance canopies are all standard zones.
Wind off the river and the open approach paths around the runways is the durability question here. Track is mechanically fastened to fascia, not adhesive, and the 16-gauge wire runs inside it. Commercial service plans are available so a single dark pixel on a hotel entrance is caught and replaced before a guest notices.

Wind, Storms and Permanent Lighting Track in Western PA
Wind is what strips clip-hung lights off a roofline. Continuous aluminum track fastened to the fascia gives it nothing to grab, and IP67 pixels ride out the rain that follows.
