Reviews from Your Neighbors

Stop going into stealth mode

You put up lights for the holidays, then you take them down. You buy new ones next year. You climb the ladder, again, hoping this is the year you don't fall off the roof. Your home always hides after sunset, and it doesn't have to ever again.

There's a better way to do this.

No more ladders

No more tangled wires

No more dark houses

Set your scene for any occasion

Holiday lights. Game day colors. Security lighting after dark. Soft, elegant accent lighting on an ordinary Tuesday. It's all the same system, controlled from your phone, set once and left alone.

FAQs

Answers to the questions we hear most from our neighbors.

How much does permanent outdoor lighting cost?

Pricing starts at $1,750. Every home is different, and not every project is a full house. Some homeowners choose accent lighting, a backyard, the front only, or porch lighting, so your final quote depends on the size and scope of what you want lit. The best way to get an accurate number is a free demo.

Is financing available?

Yes, we offer flexible financing and you can apply in minutes.

Permanent lighting vs traditional Christmas lights — which is better long-term?

One install replaces buying, hanging, and taking down lights every year. The system pays for itself within a few years of holiday use alone and keeps going for 20+ years after that.

Who do I call if something breaks after the warranty period ends?

Just give us a call. We own our building and employ our own crews here in Central Illinois, so we're not going anywhere, warranty or not.

How do you control the lights — is there an app?

Yes. Every system comes with a companion app that connects to your home's Wi-Fi through the controller box.

Can I use it for everyday accent lighting, or is it only for holidays?

It's one system for every occasion. Holidays, game days, security, and everyday accent lighting are all built in, not separate add-ons.
