When the weather turns cold, the same old question comes to mind. Is it time to climb upon a ladder again, after untangling lights, pinning them up on the gutters in the freezing cold? There’s nothing quite as magical as having a home lit up for the holidays, but the logistics of making that happen are often not worth the trouble. That’s where permanent roofline lighting in Willow Springs comes in.

Permanent roofline lighting works because a professionally installed LED system mounts along the soffit of your home. Once in place, it stays in place year-round and can handle everything from ornate holiday displays to everyday warm white lighting. And it requires virtually no effort on your part.

How Willow Springs permanent roofline lighting works 

Willow Springs permanent roofline lighting is contained within a track, and that’s what goes on your home’s soffit. The track itself is low-profile, filled with LED lights, and color-matched to your soffit, fascia, or eaves. There are over 150 color options, and installers bring samples so they can match to the exact exterior before placing an order. Once installed, all wiring runs will be concealed within the track, leaving no hardware visible from the street. Basically, during the day, it will look like there is nothing there at all, and that’s by design.

But at night, when the LEDs turn on, that’s when you can see the difference. The LEDs run on RGBWW technology. There are three diodes for color, as with most LEDs, as well as a fourth diode dedicated to warm white. 

This is important because it is the technological backbone which makes it possible for your lights to produce genuine soft light at night. That warm white is the reason this system works as architectural lighting and not just a holiday novelty. Budget products can try to imitate this, but without a dedicated warm white diode, it tends to look cool or artificial like office lighting

The system is IP67 waterproof rated, UV-stabilized, and surge protected. In other words, it’s built for Chicago. You can learn more about the technology itself on our permanent roofline lighting page.

Holiday lights that can stay up all year round

Christmas, Halloween, the 4th of July, New Year's Eve, game day—you name the occasion and there is a lighting setup to match it. The lighting can be controlled from your phone and the app allows you to select from over 14,000 premade patterns and 26+ animations. Even better, the Autopilot feature allows you to subscribe to seasonal calendars so the display changes on its own. That means you can set the lights and walk away.

But the use of the system goes far beyond simple Willow Springs holiday lighting. The system doesn’t need to come down in January. Instead, it can shift to warm white and run as permanent architectural lighting every evening. You come home on a cold January night and the roofline is still glowing with this quiet, warm presence that makes the house feel like a home.
