What Are Permanent Outdoor Lights?

The Permanent Way to Light Up Your Home, Year-Round


Permanent outdoor lights are low-profile lighting systems installed under your roofline or architectural features, designed to stay up all year — not just for holidays.

Unlike temporary string lights or clip-on holiday sets, permanent systems are professionally installed, weather-rated, and app-controlled. They allow you to change colors, patterns, and brightness with just a few taps, giving you instant control for any season or event.

These systems are sleek, smart, and built to last — with none of the hassle of ladders or tangled lights.

Where Are Permanent Lights Installed?

  • Under Rooflines & Soffits

Most systems are installed discreetly along the underside of your eaves or fascia board. We use track-mounted RGBW fixtures that blend into the trim color of your home, so they're nearly invisible during the day.

  • Around Architectural Features

Permanent lighting can also accent arches, columns, peaks, and gables. With the right placement, you can highlight the design of your home in a dramatic but tasteful way — without bulky fixtures or floodlights.

  • On HOA Monuments or Commercial Buildings

These systems aren’t just for homes. Permanent lights are ideal for HOA entry monuments, community signs, and small business buildings looking for visibility, branding, or seasonal color control without needing to re-install lights every year.

What Makes Them "Permanent"?


Permanent doesn’t mean “always on” — it means always installed and ready to go. These systems are low-voltage and extremely energy-efficient, and they're designed to handle:

  • Heat and humidity

  • Rain and wind

  • Year-round exposure

They’re also fully programmable, so you can set schedules, switch between scenes, and turn them off entirely when not in use.

Design Tip: When not lit, most systems are completely unnoticeable from the street.

What You Can Do With Permanent Lighting

  • Celebrate Any Holiday or Season

From Christmas to the Fourth of July to Halloween — or even your favorite team’s colors — you can instantly switch up your lighting without climbing a ladder.

  • Architectural Accent Lighting

Use warm whites or soft tones to highlight your home’s rooflines and peaks year-round. Permanent lights aren't just for holidays — they also create a high-end custom look that sets your home apart every night.

  • Special Events or Security Lighting

Hosting an outdoor event? Need a well-lit facade for guest arrivals or security? Your permanent lights can be adapted for the moment — with bright whites, custom color blends, or even motion patterns.
