What is Permanent Lighting and How Does It Work?
Permanent lighting is a low‑profile LED system that’s built into your home or building so it can stay up year‑round. Instead of hanging temporary lights every season, we mount durable, weather‑resistant fixtures along your roofline, soffits, trim, or other architectural features and connect them to a smart control system.
With Hearth and Halo, you get:
- One‑time professional install – No more yearly setup or takedown.
- Smart controls – Change colors, brightness, and schedules from an app.
- Energy‑efficient LEDs – Long‑life diodes often rated 50,000+ hours.
- Clean, integrated look – Wiring and tracks tucked neatly into your architecture.
Types of Permanent Lighting We Install
We design residential permanent lighting systems that blend into your home by day and make it shine at night. Whether you’re in a classic Buffalo double, an Orchard Park colonial, or a new build in Amherst, we tailor the layout to your rooflines, peaks, and porches. You can keep a soft warm‑white glow most nights, then instantly switch to Bills blue and red or holiday colors from your phone.
- Soffit lighting – Mounted under eaves to wash walls and walkways with smooth, downward light, eliminating dark corners by garages and entries.
- Trim lighting – Installed along window, door, and fascia trim to outline the architecture with a clean, modern look.
- Roofline lighting – Sleek tracks or fixtures along peaks and edges that define the structure and create a “finished” nighttime profile, perfect for both everyday and holiday use.
For businesses in Niagara Falls, Lockport, North Tonawanda, and beyond, our commercial permanent lighting boosts visibility, branding, and security. We accent rooflines, signage, and entryways with controllable colors and brightness so your building stands out without looking overdone. Many local clients run subtle white architectural lighting nightly, then switch to bold brand colors or event themes when needed.
All lighting systems use safe, 12V low-voltage wiring for worry-free operation and easy maintenance.
Color-Changing vs. Single-Color System
Dynamic Color-Changing Led Systems
Our color‑changing systems use RGB or RGBW LEDs so you can create millions of colors and patterns. With a simple app, you can set motion effects like fades, chases, and sparkle for holidays, game days, or parties without touching a single clip or cord. This option costs more up front but gives you full creative control over how your property looks all year.
Elegant Single‑Color Architectural Lighting
If you prefer a clean, timeless look, we install single‑color systems in warm white or cool white. These are ideal for accenting architectural details, lighting walkways, and improving nighttime visibility without calling too much attention to themselves. Controls are simple and reliable, giving you consistent, refined illumination every night.
Permanent vs. Temporary Lighting
Temporary string lights and clips wear out quickly in our Erie and Niagara winters, and the yearly ladder work isn’t worth the risk. Permanent lighting from Hearth and Halo is built from heavy‑duty, weatherproof components that are designed to live outside through snow, wind, and ice.
Because the system is installed once and controlled electronically, you avoid yearly labor, broken strands, and messy cords while gaining a cleaner look and long‑term cost savings. You get the festive flexibility of holiday lights combined with the reliability of professional architectural lighting.

F&Q for Pathway Lighting | Hearth & Halo
How long does a permanent lighting installation usually take?
Most residential projects are completed in one to two days, depending on the size and complexity of the roofline and soffits. Larger or multi‑building commercial jobs can take several days, but we schedule work to minimize disruption to your home or business.
Can I run the lights every night without a huge power bill?
Yes. LED permanent lighting is extremely energy‑efficient, drawing much less power than traditional incandescent holiday lights. Most homeowners notice only a small increase in their electric bill, even when using the system nightly.
What happens if a light or section stops working?
If a section fails, we can replace individual components rather than the entire system. Our optional maintenance plan includes diagnostics and repairs for damaged or broken material, so you’re never left troubleshooting on your own.
Will the lighting system affect my roof or siding warranty?
We install using methods designed to protect your roofing, soffits, and siding and to stay within typical manufacturer guidelines. During your quote, we’ll walk you through how we mount the system so you’re comfortable with how it integrates with your existing materials.
