Frankfort homeowners don't cut corners on their homes. You can tell from the street. The landscaping is deliberate, the driveways are clean, and the facades have the kind of detail that only shows up when someone is paying attention. All of that reads beautifully during the day, only to disappear after dark.
But permanent outdoor lighting in Frankfort makes it possible to enjoy the beauty of your property no matter what the time of day is. In the case of permanent roofline lighting, it’s a professionally installed LED system that mounts along your home’s soffits. It stays in place all year round and it becomes part of the home’s architecture. During the day, you can’t tell the lights are there. But at night, it can transform the way your home presents itself to the street, to your neighbors, and to you every time you pull into the driveway late.
How the permanent roofline lighting system works
Once installed, the lighting track blends right into your home’s soffits, fascia, or eaves. This is possible because there are over 150 color options available for lighting tracks and installers bring those samples so they can match the track exactly to your home’s exterior before placing an order. Then when installation begins, all wires are concealed within the track channel itself. That means you won’t see cords, zip ties, visible hardware, or a track that doesn’t match the home itself.
As for the lights themselves, they are LEDs running on RGBWW technology. The first three diodes handle red, green, and blue colors. Traditional three-diode lights can approximate soft white by combining red, green, and blue, but it always reads as cool and bluish in practice. But RGBWW has a diode dedicated to warm white, which means the lights can give off an incandescent-quality soft glow. The difference is night and day.
The lights can be controlled directly from a smartphone app. You can set schedules that automatically turn on the lights based on sunset and sunrise times, and you can even have holiday lights go up automatically based on the calendar.

One outdoor lighting installation, every season covered
If you've been climbing a ladder every November to hang holiday lights, or paying someone else to do it, permanent roofline lighting is designed to end that cycle altogether. The system can handle holiday decor for you no matter the holiday, be it Christmas, Halloween, the 4th of July, or anything in between. Over 14,000 premade patterns and 26+ animations are available, and the Autopilot feature subscribes to seasonal calendars so the lights change automatically.
When the holidays pass, nothing comes down. You can simply switch to warm white, and the system runs as elegant everyday exterior lighting through January, through February, through every quiet Tuesday night in between. That transition is what turns a holiday purchase into a year-round upgrade, and it's the part that surprises most buyers.
