A homeowner's guide to permanent lighting

Invisible by day.
Any color by night.

Permanent lights go up once along your roofline and run from your phone: warm white every evening, colors for every holiday, your team's colors on game day.

Drag the line to take this house from day to dusk.

Choose in 4 steps

1

Permanent or seasonal?

Light all year that you own, or holiday lights we hang each December.

2

Down or out?

A soft wash down the wall, or bright points you see from the street.

3

Which light?

Pebble, Puck or classic RGBW C9 bulbs.

4

Which track color?

Hard plastic or aluminum, matched to your trim.

Step 1 of 4

Permanent or seasonal?

Both look great in December. The difference is the other eleven months, and who owns the lights.

Seasonal holiday lights A yearly lease

  • We hang them in fall, take them down in January and store them.
  • The best fit for wrapping trees, lining walks and big one-off displays.
  • You pay every year. Nothing to own or maintain.
  • Dark from February to November.

Permanent lighting You own it

  • Installed once in a slim channel matched to your trim. Hard to spot by day.
  • Every color and pattern from an app, every night of the year.
  • Seven-year parts warranty and three years on our installation.
  • No ladders, no hanging, no takedown, ever again.

When permanent pays for itself

Example home: 150 feet of single-story roofline. Seasonal is our Alpine plan at $8.00 a foot plus the first-year build fee. Permanent is Pebble at $34 a foot or Puck at $42 a foot, plus one $375 control box. Your own quote is set when we measure.

Seasonal, total paid Permanent, Pebble Permanent, Puck

This holds seasonal prices flat. They go up most years, so permanent usually pays off sooner. Many customers do both: permanent on the house, seasonal on the trees.

What buyers say about outdoor light

82%

of home buyers call exterior lighting essential or desirable. It ranks among the most wanted outdoor features.

NAHB, What Home Buyers Want, 20246
7%

more on average for homes with excellent curb appeal than similar homes with poor curb appeal, in a study of about 89,000 sales.

UT Arlington and Univ. of Alabama, 20207
10/10

"joy score" from homeowners for landscape lighting, tied with an in-ground pool for outdoor projects.

NAR and NALP Remodeling Impact Report, 20238

No study yet puts a dollar figure on permanent lights alone. What the research does show: buyers want outdoor lighting, and curb appeal sells.

Step 2 of 4

Down-facing or out-facing?

The same lights can point two ways. Which way changes what you see from the street.

Cutaway of an eave: the light channel sits under the soffit edge behind the fascia and shines down onto the sidingChannel under the soffitLight washes the wallHidden from the street

Down-facing

The lights tuck under the edge of the eave and shine down. From the street you see a wash of light on the house, not the bulbs. By day the channel all but disappears.

Pick this if you want a modern look, everyday warm white, light over doors and walks for safety, and softer holiday color.

Cutaway of an eave: the light channel sits on the face of the fascia and shines toward the streetChannel on the fascia faceWall stays darkYou see each light

Out-facing

The lights sit on the face of the trim and point toward the street. You see each point of light, like classic holiday bulbs, and it reads brightest from a distance. For the most traditional look, choose RGBW C9 bulbs.

Pick this if you want the traditional holiday light look, holiday displays are the main reason you are buying, or the house sits far back from the road.

Brightest out-facing option: Puck lights. Three LEDs in every light carry much farther, so out-facing Pucks suit large homes, commercial buildings and long runs. The Puck channel is larger than the Pebble channel, so it needs enough flat fascia below the gutter to mount. We check that when we measure.
Step 3 of 4

Which light?

Three roofline lights, all on the same app. Mix them on one house: Pucks out front, Pebbles down the sides.

Low profile and clean on the eave. Our most popular everyday light.

Puck

A third LED in every light, so it carries much farther. Our pick for out-facing on big buildings and long runs.

RGBW C9 bulbs

The big faceted holiday bulb you grew up with, except every bulb changes color from the app. Mounted in its own track, it stays up all year and costs the same as Pebble.

Step 4 of 4

Which track color?

Every light screws into a rigid track that runs along your trim. Pick the material, then the color that matches.

One system

One system, the whole property

The roofline is the start. Everything below plugs into the same control box and runs from the same app, so the house, the yard and the patio change color together.

Pebble, Puck or C9 along every eave and peak.

Glowing RGB light bars

One control box runs it all. Add pieces any time and they join the same app and the same scenes.

Expandable

A single controller runs up to about 420 feet of lights. Outgrow it and we add a box that joins the same show.

Versatile

Warm white on a dusk timer most nights, then a pattern for a birthday, a holiday or game day, all from the Pixel Dancer app.

One brand of parts

Lights by Minleon and controllers by Rainmin, so add-ons years from now still match.

Quality

Built for a Northwest roof, not a store shelf

Plug-in kits from the big box store look similar on the box. Up on a wet roof for ten years, they are a different product.

Who installsOur own trained crews, with lifts where neededYou, on a ladder

Lower fire risk

The lights run on 24 volts, not the 120 volts in plug-in holiday strings, and there are no extension cords across the lawn or strings tucked into dry gutters. Decorations other than trees start about 790 US home fires a year.3

No more ladders

About 14,900 people went to the ER from holiday decorating in the 2023 season, and falls are the biggest share.4 With permanent lights, nobody in your family climbs.

Pennies to run

LED pixels sip power. 150 feet in full white for five hours a night runs roughly $25 to $50 a year, and color effects use less.5

For the holidays

One scene for the whole property

Most permanent systems stop at the roofline. The tree wrap, the wreath and the yard lights end up on their own plugs, timers and remotes, and they never match the house. Ours wires the holiday pieces into the same system as your roofline, so the whole property changes together.

One tap in the app and the roofline, wreath, tree wraps, floods and path lights all switch to the holiday scene together.

All year: roofline, floods and wall washing, path lights
Holiday season: tree wraps, wreaths and garland
1

Everything plugs into one box

Tree wraps, wreaths, floods and path lights connect to the same control box as your roofline lights.

2

Pick a scene once

Choose Halloween, the holidays or game day in the app. Every piece changes together and runs on the same schedule.

3

We handle the season

We put the holiday pieces up in fall, take them down after the holidays and store them, for one annual fee.

After the install

  • Visual inspection of every line
  • Controller check and firmware updates
