Game night

Your colours, on the house — literally. Red and yellow, blue and orange, green and gold, whatever you cheer for. One tap before puck drop.

Pick any two colours and the system alternates them down the rooflines, or runs one on the eaves and the other up the peaks. Save it as a preset and it is one tap from then on, which matters when you are already late and the game has started.

It is the setting people demonstrate to visitors, and it is the one that makes the case for the whole system faster than any explanation. A house that can be two specific colours in a second is obviously not a string of lights.

Playoffs are the real test. Six weeks of a colour scheme is a long time to maintain by hand. It is nothing at all to leave on a schedule.
