Lighting throughout the year
Leave the lights up between holidays
Permanent lights stay attached to the home. Depending on the system, you can switch between white light, holiday colors, and other settings using its controls.
Before choosing a system, consider how the lights will look in daylight, which sections of the house you want covered, and the controls you’d like to use.

Roofline coverage
Which parts of the house should be lit?
You can start with the front of the house or include visible sides and peaks. We’ll check the height, mounting surfaces, and access for the areas you choose.
Peaks and eaves
These are common mounting locations. Height, slope, and the available soffit space affect installation.
Corners and returns
Corners and gaps between roof sections need a route that works with the selected lighting system.
Power and access
We review outlet locations, component requirements, and the space needed to reach the roofline.
Street view
The front, garage, and visible sides are useful places to start when deciding on coverage.

Permanent lighting questions
Permanent lighting FAQs
How is permanent lighting different from rehanging seasonal lights?
Permanent lighting is planned as a lasting exterior installation, while traditional seasonal strands are put up and removed for a limited period. The right choice depends on how often you want lighting available, the look you prefer, and how much recurring setup you want to avoid.
Can you light the sides as well as the front?
Yes, front and side rooflines can be discussed as part of your installation. Coverage depends on the mounting area, safe access, power supply, and the system you choose.
What determines permanent-lighting cost?
The length and height of the roofline, system choice, mounting surfaces, and access all affect the price. Contact Northline for an estimate for your home.
Can permanent lighting be used outside the holidays?
Year-round availability is one of the main reasons homeowners consider permanent lighting. Everyday warm-white looks, celebrations, and seasonal colors can all be part of the goal, depending on the capabilities of the selected system.
