If you take an evening drive around Palatine, you’ll likely see permanent outdoor lighting everywhere you look. It will appear to you as clean, warm lines of light tracing the rooflines of the neighborhoods here. In fact, it’s been showing up all over the northwest suburbs and Palatine is no exception.
Permanent outdoor lighting in Palatine, once installed, stays in place year-round. It functions as both everyday lights and holiday lights, and can be controlled entirely from your phone. The lights themselves are professionally installed LEDs that mount along the soffit of your home. It’s so low-maintenance that once you set the schedule, you likely won’t even think about adjusting the lights for a while.
How permanent roofline lighting works
Permanent roofline lights are installed within a track along the soffit line. Inside, each light is connected with waterproof connectors. The wiring is entirely hidden from your view within the track channel. The track itself is custom-matched to your home’s soffit or fascia color from a library of over 150 options, meaning it will blend in completely.
The LEDs themselves work on RGBWW technology. That means there is a dedicated warm white diode alongside the standard red, green, and blue. That dedicated warm white makes a big difference between a system that can only produce color and one that works as soft white architectural lighting. When you're not running holiday colors, the system looks like elegant, permanent roofline lighting (because it is).
The end of the annual holiday lighting hassle
A lot of Palatine homeowners find their way to permanent roofline lighting through frustration with the holiday lighting cycle. Few want to deal with a ladder and tangled strings, the endless burned-out bulbs, yellow-topped storage bins, and the annual put-up-and-take-down routine. It’s a chore, and a dangerous one at that.
You’ll never have to worry about holiday lighting of any kind once these lights are up. You can set up different lighting displays for Christmas, Halloween, the 4th of July, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, and more. You can even show your team’s colors on game day. The Autopilot feature subscribes to seasonal event calendars and activates holiday-appropriate patterns automatically, so the lights know it's Halloween before you've thought about it.
After the holidays come and go, the system won’t need to come down or be turned off. It will simply transition to warm white and keep running as everyday architectural lighting through January, February, and beyond.
Palatine businesses and HOA communities benefit from the same technology. Permanent roofline lighting creates consistent visibility and seasonal presence without the recurring cost of a holiday lighting contractor. Likewise, OLP Chicago also offers commercial roofline lighting for larger structures and longer rooflines.
