We nearly have 800 studios now, in six years, installed. That’s thousands of lights. I found two lights on my own–the dealer didn’t even know–that were dim. We replaced those two lights out of thousands.
What typically happens is there is a little box tied to it, which we call a driver, or a ballast, that powers the LED light. If your light goes out, contact us as soon as possible. We’ll troubleshoot that really quickly over the phone. It’s most likely a driver. We’ll just overnight it to you at no cost, as long as it’s within five years.
Give us a call, and we’ll resolve the issue.

It’s always about the process. How soon can I get my studio installed and what's the flow? This is simple. I visit every store, without obligation, to measure the space. When I leave, minutes after that, I give what’s called a recap. We go over pricing. I show you the photos, what you need to remove or adjust. I also send you pricing and go over it.
When you are ready, you click on the link, you fill it out, we generate an invoice, we ask for 50% up front before we set an install or shipping date. Once we receive your money, we contact you, set an install and shipping date. We like to ship out five days prior to your install. Your install is typically set on a Monday. You’re done. We train you on Wednesday and deliver it back to you. It’s that simple.

360Booth®. I installed and designed 360Booth®. About the installation, it was critical that I did the first 200 installs by myself. I packed them; I built them; I palletized them; I shipped them and installed.
Once I learned the entire process, I found, from my photo service of 23 years, four of the most amazing, highly-detailed individuals. We’d leave from Tampa, FL, on a Monday. We typically get to the average store around 11:00 in the morning, Monday. They get right to work. They’ll do a 10, 12, 13-hour day and deliver that studio to you on Wednesday afternoon. Once that happens, we are going to request all the managers and photographers to be there, and we are going to train your individuals. Sometimes it takes 20 minutes. They’ve done this before, and we just have to show them the subtleties of the light. We can stay four hours. If that doesn’t work, after the three-day install, Monday to Wednesday, I’ll fly in at no cost and train your guys.
