What makes these different Permanent holiday lights stay on the house. That is the core of it, and it holds up better than it sounds. The hardware is a low profile LED channel run along the roofline and eaves, matched to the color of your trim so it does not stand out during the day. Not just the one week in December Christmas is the reason most people call, but it is not the only use. Orange for Halloween. Red and blue for the Fourth. School colors on a Friday night. A co

Before anything goes on the house Nothing gets installed until somebody has looked at your house. That visit covers which edges to run, where the power is, and how you want to use it. The consultation is free and there is no obligation attached to it. The design is drawn for your house Your house has its own lines, so the plan gets drawn around it. The design should work with the house, following the roof edge, the gables and the entry. On commercial work the same thinking

Why it has to be LED Anything mounted permanently on a roof edge has to hold up outside every day. Traditional bulbs are designed to come down. LEDs run cool, draw little power and do not have a filament to break, which is the whole reason a permanent system is possible.You do not have to follow the technical side to make a good decision. But it is worth asking what the channel is, how it mounts and how it is wired, since the detail in the answer says a lot. The people who

Light that line and the whole house resolves.That is the reason permanent systems live at the roof edge, and the reason a single run there does more than fixtures scattered around the yard. One continuous line,

Is there a difference between architectural lighting and holiday lights? It is a fair question what the word adds. The difference is between drawing around a house and lighting its parts. One treats the house as a silhouette. The other treats it as a set of surfaces, angles and depths.You do not have to name any of it to know what you are looking at. The useful test is whether the design explains itself. If the answer is specific to your house, there is a design behind it.

Is there a difference between architectural lighting and holiday lights? The word sounds like an upgrade charge, but it points at something real. The difference is between an outline and a plan. One treats the house as a shape. The other reads what the house is actually built out of.You do not have to name any of it to know what you are looking at. The useful test is whether the design explains itself. If the answer is specific to your house, there is a design behind it. If

Your building works after hours whether you light it or not A commercial building gets seen by traffic long after the doors lock. A dark building does not just look closed, it stops being noticed. A lit one reads as open, occupied and worth remembering.This is not an aesthetic decision for a commercial property.
