How do I install LED lights into my new car?

Q. I recently got a package deal on LED Neon lighting accessories for my 2001 Chrystler 300M. I dont have much running through the car, I've never had any power problems at all. My question... if I were to install everything that came in my package (White Underbody Neon, White Interior Under Dash Neon, New Blue Halogen Lights, and White Blinker Arrows that attach to the Side-View mirrors) do you think it would put a drain on my battery? I know lighting doesnt take too much to run, but is that pushing it a little too much?

A. No. You should be fine.

I have no idea why you'd want to mess up your underbody or under dash with neon lights, but you'd have to install much much much more than just lighting to put enough drain on your altenator to keep it from charging your battery.

Also remember that LED lights draw much less current than regular incandescent lighting.

Install your lighting and enjoy your new found artificial daylight.

Hope this info helps.

What are industry standard rates for home staging?

Q. I've been asked to stage a few homes for a builder/contractor. I have interior design experience through furniture sales companies so my compensation has always been commission on sales. The spaces are vacant and someone else has already ordered upholstery and case goods and supposedly lighting, accessories and rugs as well.... should I charge an hourly rate? per square foot? flat fee per home? should I include a materials allowance if there aren't enough lamps or if they forgot bedding or a tablecloth or candles for the candlesticks?

A. OK depending where you are in the country, and what neighborhood your in. You can do several things. If they are supplying all the furnishings you can't up charge a fee on that, you can put a contingency in the contract that if all materials supplied by the other party are not on site, you can charge a fee for that per day it is missing. I wouldn't do an hourly rate, I would either do per square foot or flat fee for the home. Say if the home is 1800 sf and two floors and in an OK area and must be sold ASAP! Also it should only take 4-5 days to stage I would charge about $2,000. If it's your first and want to cut them a break, and you don't have a certification in home staging then probably only $500-$800. Hope I was helpful!
