What is permanent lighting?

The lights stay up. The hassle goes away.

Permanent outdoor lighting is a slim, weatherproof track of color-changing LEDs mounted discreetly under your eaves and trim. By day it’s nearly invisible and color-matched to your home. By night, it becomes whatever you want it to be.

Warm white for a classic everyday glow. Red and green for Christmas. Orange for Halloween. Your team’s colors on game day. Patriotic for the Fourth. It all changes in a few taps. No ladder, no storage bins, no taking anything down.

Set it once, enjoy it all year

Premium lighting that pays you back in curb appeal, convenience, and a little envy from the neighbors.

Professionally mounted along your roofline once, then it’s up for good. You’ll never hang seasonal lights again.

Control it from a 4.9-star app

Pick any color, pattern, and schedule, and dial the brightness from a soft, subtle glow to the whole house lit up. All from an app rated 4.9 stars. Save your favorites for one-tap holidays.

16 million colors

Every holiday, every occasion, every mood, plus a tasteful warm white that looks great any night of the year.

No more ladders

No climbing, no tangles, no storage. The dangerous, annoying part of holiday lights is gone for good.

Curb appeal & value

Clean, custom lighting makes your home stand out day and night, and it’s a feature buyers notice.

Lifetime warranty

Built for Carolina summers and winters with commercial-grade LEDs. If a light ever goes out, we replace it. No trip charges, no service fees.

Why permanent

The last year you deal with the ladder

Seasonal lights cost you the same weekend every November and the same climb every January. Permanent lighting ends that cycle in one visit.

Good questions

Frequently asked

What exactly is permanent outdoor lighting?

A slim track of weatherproof, color-changing LEDs mounted discreetly under your roofline. It’s installed once and stays up year-round, nearly invisible by day, and controlled from an app to glow any color for holidays, game days, parties, or everyday accent lighting. It’s different from landscape lighting, which lights up your yard and walkways from the ground; this hugs your roofline instead.

How much does it cost in the Raleigh area?

Most homes doing just the front run about $2,500 to $6,000, depending on how much roofline you have. Pricing works out to $30 to $33 per linear foot depending on the season, plus a one-time $325 power supply and $325 controller (the piece that lets you run it from the app). Try our price estimator above for a ballpark, then we’ll give you an exact number after measuring your roofline. Ask about financing when we talk.

Do you have to come to my house for a quote?

Yes, and that’s on purpose. We start with a free 20-minute demo so you can see the lights and try the app yourself, then we measure your roofline on-site so your price is based on real numbers, not a guess. No pushy sales tactics, no pressure to decide on the spot.

Will it damage my roof or gutters?

No. The track is professionally fastened along the eaves and trim using methods designed specifically for permanent lighting. No harm to your roof or gutters, and the low-profile channel is color-matched so it disappears in daylight.

Can I really control the colors myself?

Yes, everything runs from a simple phone app. Choose any color, brightness, and pattern, save favorites, and set schedules. Warm white for everyday, holiday themes in one tap, your team’s colors for the big game.

Do I ever have to take them down?

Never. That’s the whole point. No hanging, no removing, no ladders, no storage bins. Install once and you’re set for years.

What areas do you serve?

Raleigh and everywhere within about 25 miles, including Cary, Apex, Morrisville, Wake Forest, Garner, Holly Springs, Fuquay-Varina, Knightdale, and parts of Durham. Not sure? Just ask.

Will I be pressured to buy at the demo?

No. The demo is free and there is no obligation. We show you the product, answer your questions honestly, and give you a real price. If you want to think it over, take all the time you need.

Is Nicely Lighting really part of Marvelous Lights?

Yes. Nicely Lighting is a proud local partner of Marvelous Lights. You get a Raleigh neighbor who answers the phone, backed by Marvelous’s product, install standards, and lifetime warranty, no questions asked.
