About SUMMIT

SUMMIT is a locally owned West Kootenay company that does one thing: permanent lighting, done properly, on homes we drive past every day.

Our Story

Hi, I'm Eric Douglas.

I'm a West Kootenay local, and SUMMIT started with one install: my parents' house. I went looking for the best permanent lighting on the market, found Chromaglow Pro, and decided to install it properly myself.

Then I brought in Will and Lukka, and together we got a little obsessed with clean installs: colour-matched track, tidy wiring, and every light seated by hand. Seeing a house transform the first time the lights come on never gets old.

The Team

Dedicated to one thing: permanent lighting.

We install one system, Chromaglow Pro, and we know it inside out. Here's who does the work.

14+ years in electrical, carpentry and commercial LED systems

Will

Operations Manager

Will holds a diploma in electromechanics and started his career in industry, wiring control boxes and helping design and build automated machines for production lines. For the last 10 years he's worked with complex, full-spectrum LED systems built for horticulture, where precision and reliability really count. He brings that same standard to every SUMMIT install: carefully planned, properly wired and built to last.

Lukka

Lead Installer

Lukka brings 4 years of carpentry experience, from framing to finish work, including the electrical installs that come with it. Finish carpentry teaches you that small gaps show. It's why our track runs straight and tight to your trim, and why the power supply ends up somewhere you'll never notice.

Eric Douglas

Founder

Eric started SUMMIT after putting permanent lights on his parents' house. He's done plenty of low-voltage installs outfitting camper vans, and his background in data science shapes how every job is planned: measured layouts, clear quotes and no surprises on the invoice.

How We Work

What you can expect from us.

You're part of the plan

We design the layout with you on site — down to where the power supply goes — so the finished install looks the way you pictured it.

Clean, careful installs

Colour-matched track, tidy cable routing, and every light seated by hand. We treat your home like our own.

Shown the app before we leave

We set up your scenes and schedules, walk you through the controls, and stay available if you need anything after.

Power done properly

Power supplies sized for your roofline, long runs planned for voltage drop, and every connection sealed against Kootenay weather.

Why Chromaglow Pro

We picked the hardware we'd put on our own homes.

Chromaglow Pro is a commercial-grade 48V RGBW system: true warm white from dedicated white diodes, 16 million colours, IP68 waterproofing, UL/cUL certification and a 10-year warranty. It's built for the kind of winters we get here.
