Permanent Lighting Cost

What permanent lighting
actually costs — explained.

The honest answer is that professional permanent lighting is priced by the linear footage of roofline and eave being lit — so a precise number depends on your specific home. Anyone publishing a single flat price is guessing at your house. What we can do is show you exactly what shapes the price and what's included, then give you a free, itemized estimate.

Every IllumiTrim quote starts free: text a photo for a quick remote estimate in 24–48 hours, then get a firm same-day written price at your in-home demo. No hidden costs, no pressure.


What Shapes Your Price

Five things that move the number.

Linear footage

The biggest driver — total feet of roofline and eave being lit. Front-only costs less than a full perimeter.

Home size & stories

Larger and multi-story homes need more track, more nodes, and more access work, which affects labor.

Roofline complexity

Dormers, steep pitches, peaks, gables, and detached structures add detail and time versus a simple ranch line.

Coverage scope

How much you light now — just the front for curb appeal, or the full home, patio, and pool area.

Add-ons

Optional extras like a monthly maintenance plan for track cleaning, connectivity checks, and performance verification.


Start Small or Go Full

Footage-based means flexible.

Because the system is 12V modular and priced by footage, you control the scope — and you can expand later without redoing the original run.

Front Elevation

The most popular starting point

  • Lights the front roofline & entry
  • Maximum curb-appeal impact
  • Lowest footage = lowest cost
  • Expand to sides & rear anytime

Full Home Perimeter

Most chosen for a finished look

  • Front, sides & rear rooflines
  • Even, continuous light all around
  • One clean install, done once
  • Best per-foot value overall

Large / Multi-Story / Commercial

Estates, HOAs & businesses

  • Complex or extended rooflines
  • Detached & amenity structures
  • Optional maintenance plan
  • Project managed by Colton

What's Always Included

No hidden line items.

  • IP68-sealed RGBW nodes in color-matched aluminum track
  • 12V modular wiring and the Wi-Fi smart controller
  • Professional installation (typically 1–3 days) and cleanup
  • App setup & training until you're fully comfortable
  • 3-year labor + 3-year product warranty
  • Single-bulb modular serviceability for the life of the system

Pricing Questions

Cost, answered straight.

How much does permanent outdoor lighting cost?
+
Professional permanent lighting is priced by the linear footage of roofline and eave being lit, so the figure depends on your home's size, the number of stories, and roofline complexity. Rather than publish a one-size number that won't match your house, IllumiTrim gives every homeowner a free, itemized estimate — a quick remote quote from a photo, then a firm same-day price at the in-home demo. There are no hidden costs.
How is the price actually calculated?
+
Mainly by linear feet of track and the number of LED nodes needed to cover your rooflines and eaves, plus any complexity like multiple stories, steep pitches, dormers, or detached structures. Because pricing is footage-based, lighting just the front elevation costs less than a full perimeter — and you can start small and expand later.
Is the estimate really free, with no obligation?
+
Yes. The remote photo estimate and the in-home demo are both free with zero obligation. Colton brings live nodes to your actual eave so you see the real product and get a written same-day estimate before you commit to anything.
Does permanent lighting save money versus seasonal lights?
+
Over time, usually yes. Hiring out seasonal holiday lighting is a recurring cost every single year — install, takedown, storage, and replacements — plus it only covers the holidays. A permanent system is a one-time install that delivers both everyday architectural lighting and holiday color for years, on professional-grade hardware backed by a 3-year warranty.
Do you offer financing or payment options?
+
Payment specifics are discussed at your estimate. The best next step is a quick call to Colton at (407) 349-3490 — he'll walk you through what your project involves and the options available.
Why not just buy a cheap DIY kit?
+
A retail kit is cheaper up front but is typically IP65 (not IP68), fakes white with RGB mixing, runs on exposed taped wire, and commonly has flickering and weather-failure complaints — plus 8+ hours of your time. See our full breakdown on the Permanent Lighting vs. DIY page.
