As long as the wires are ran to the location of each desired light and the hole is drilled in the soffit then the lights can be hooked up later. We usually run the end of our wire (main feed) into a garage or utility room. We connect to our power panel and plug into a normal indoor plug. The system will run on a timer so no need for a switch.

If someone was to be installing a moulding under their soffit then this may have to be taken into consideration. Our lights are about 8 inches from the wall and this is very important to give the right amount of wall wash when dealing with the front of the home. The sides and back which are often more functionable lighting for safety, entertaining or security. There is flexibility in the positioning of these lights.
