Permanent lights live on your roofline all year and turn on with your phone — warm white for everyday, full color for the holidays. There are two ways to do it. Here's how they compare.
Every permanent system uses tiny, color-changing LEDs tucked under your eaves and controlled from an app. The difference is how they mount — and that changes the look, the install, and the price. Pick a style below to explore your options.
The bulbs drop into a slim aluminum channel that mounts under your shingles or along the fascia. The wiring disappears inside the track, so the whole run reads as one crisp, built-in line. By day it practically vanishes; by night it lights up edge to edge.
It's the most seamless, high-end look you can get — the lights and wires hide away completely. The trade-off is a more involved install and a higher up-front investment.
The Two Track Brands We Install
Commercial-grade Dynamic RGB®
App-controlled RGBW track
Each light is an individual "puck" that mounts in a row under your eave, with the wire running neatly along the line between them. Same brilliant color-changing LEDs, same app control — just mounted on the surface instead of buried in a channel.
Because there's no track to route, installs go quicker and the price comes down. The wire does sit on the surface, so it's a touch more visible up close — but the glow at night is just as stunning.
