With every November comes the same routine. Pull the ladder out of the garage, haul the bins of holiday lights down from the attic, test each strand to find the dead bulbs, and then spend a Saturday afternoon on the roof in weather that's already turned cold. January is the same process in reverse, except now there's ice. Permanent outdoor lighting in New Lenox is built to end that cycle for good.
Permanent roofline lighting is placed right along the roofline of your home. It stays in place year-round and you can control it through your phone from anywhere. Once installed, you can use the same system for holiday lights and everyday soft white lighting alike. And you’ll never have to climb a ladder right after Thanksgiving in the bitter cold of another winter.
What permanent roofline lighting is and how it works
Permanent roofline lighting is installed at the roofline of your home. The track is mounted inside or along the soffit. Installers bring samples of various different colors so they can find one that matches your soffit, fascia, or eaves exactly from over 150 color options. All wiring is concealed in the track channel, meaning no exposed cords or visible hardware. That means during the day, the system will disappear entirely.
The lights themselves are LEDs running on RGBWW technology. The red, green, and blue diodes handle all the colors. But there is also a dedicated warm white diode that can produce incandescent-quality soft light. That’s what separates this system from budget alternatives, which can only imitate soft white lighting through color mixing, which often results in cool or bluish light.
The system is made for Chicagoland weather and all that implies. It is IP67 waterproof rated, UV-stabilized, and surge protected. If you want to learn more about the technology itself, you can read more on the permanent roofline lighting page.
All your holiday lighting, plus every night in between
The app gives you full control over your holiday lighting. With the push of a button, you can have lights up for Christmas, Halloween, the 4th of July, New Year's Eve, St. Patrick's Day, or even your team's colors on game day. Over 14,000 premade patterns and 26+ animations are ready to go, and the Autopilot feature subscribes to seasonal calendars so the lights change on their own.
When the holidays are over, you can then switch the lights to warm white. The system will then run as architectural lighting through every ordinary evening. You pull into the driveway on a Wednesday night in February and the house looks finished, warm and glowing.
