A Permanent Alternative to Annual Christmas Light Installation
If you are searching for Christmas light installation, there is another option: install the lighting once and use it every season.
IllumSource installs permanent roofline lighting that stays discreetly in place year-round. When the holidays arrive, choose classic red and green, warm white, custom colors or animated displays from your phone — without scheduling another installation, climbing a ladder or storing lights after the season.

No annual hanging, removal, ladder climbing or boxes of Christmas lights to store.
How Much Do Permanent Christmas Lights Cost?
The cost of permanent Christmas lights depends on your home, roofline and the amount of lighting you want installed. Larger homes, complex rooflines and additional lighting zones can increase the overall project cost.
Unlike traditional Christmas light installation, permanent lighting is installed once and remains in place year-round. That means there is no annual cost to hang, remove and store your lights, and the same system can be used for holidays, special occasions and everyday architectural lighting.
IllumSource provides a custom design consultation so you can see how permanent lighting will work with your home and get pricing based on your actual project.
Year-Round Lighting, Not Just Christmas Lights
Permanent lighting gives your home far more than a Christmas display. After the holidays, switch from red and green to warm white architectural lighting that highlights your roofline and complements your home.
Change colors for Valentine's Day, the Fourth of July, Halloween, birthdays, game days and other celebrations. Or switch to warm white for subtle architectural lighting throughout the year.
Because the lights remain permanently installed, you can change the look of your home whenever you want without putting another strand of lights on the roof.
How Permanent Christmas & Holiday Lighting Works
Permanent lighting is professionally installed along your home's roofline in a discreet track designed to blend with the exterior when the lights are off.
When you want to use them, control colors, patterns, brightness and schedules from your phone. Create a red-and-green Christmas display, choose warm white for everyday lighting or change the look for another holiday or celebration.
The system stays installed year-round, so there is nothing to hang in December, take down in January or store until next season.
Never Hang Christmas Lights From a Ladder Again
Hanging Christmas lights every year means ladders, cold weather, tangled strands and hours spent getting your roofline ready for the holidays. Then, a few weeks later, you have to do it all over again in reverse.
Permanent Christmas lights eliminate that annual routine. Your lighting is professionally installed once and stays discreetly in place, ready whenever you want to use it.
When the holidays arrive, open the app, choose your colors and turn on your display. No ladder. No boxes of lights. No January takedown.

Frequently asked questions
How much do permanent Christmas lights cost?

Are permanent Christmas lights worth it?
Permanent Christmas lights eliminate the annual process of hanging, removing and storing temporary lights. Because the system stays installed year-round, you can also use it for other holidays, celebrations, game days and warm white architectural lighting throughout the year.
How long do permanent Christmas lights last?
Our permanent LED lights are rated for approximately 50,000 hours of use. With typical evening use, that can translate to decades of lighting, making permanent Christmas lights a long-term alternative to installing and removing temporary lights every year.
Can permanent Christmas lights stay up all year?
Yes. Permanent Christmas and holiday lights are designed to remain installed year-round. After Christmas, simply change the colors for another holiday or celebration, or use warm white lighting to accent your home's architecture.
Are permanent Christmas lights visible during the day when they're turned off?
The lighting is installed in a discreet track along the roofline and designed to blend with your home's exterior when the lights are turned off. This gives you permanent access to the lighting without the appearance of traditional Christmas light strands hanging from your home all year.
What's the difference between permanent Christmas lights and annual Christmas light installation?
Traditional Christmas light installation means putting temporary lights up each holiday season, taking them down a few weeks later and repeating the process year after year. It can also mean climbing ladders and working along rooflines, which adds a real safety risk. Thousands of people are treated in emergency rooms each year for injuries related to holiday decorating, including falls.
Permanent Christmas lighting changes the equation. IllumSource installs your lighting once, and it stays discreetly in place year-round. When Christmas arrives, there are no strands to untangle, ladders to climb or lights to take down in January.
You also get far more creative control than traditional Christmas lights. and can access to more than 16 million colors, 100+ presets and hundreds of effects and lighting shows. Create classic red and green, warm white, multi-color patterns, moving effects, color bands and custom displays. You can even sync lighting effects to music, save scenes and schedule displays from the app.
And when Christmas is over, the lights don't become useless. Change them for Valentine's Day, the Fourth of July, Halloween, birthdays, game days or other celebrations, or switch to warm white architectural lighting for the rest of the year.
Instead of installing Christmas lights every December, you're installing one permanent lighting system that can transform your home all year long.
How do permanent Christmas lights get power?
Permanent Christmas lights require access to an exterior electrical outlet. Because the lighting stays permanently installed, the power location is considered as part of the overall system design rather than relying on temporary extension cords each holiday season. During your free design consultation, IllumSource will review your home, identify the appropriate location for the system and confirm that the necessary exterior power is available.
