A permanent outdoor lighting system combines LED lights, discreet housing, power, and controls. The lights are installed along selected parts of a home, often near the roofline, where they can complement the exterior without looking like temporary string lights left up after the holidays.
Once installed, you can use the same lights in different ways throughout the year. You might choose a simple white glow most evenings, then switch to a colourful display for a celebration. There’s no need to take one set down and put another up to get a different look.
You don’t need to know the electrical details to understand how the system works. Each part has a straightforward job.
The LEDs create the light you see. Celebright uses RGBW LEDs, which can display a wide range of colours and include a dedicated white light for a true warm-white look. That gives you the flexibility to go bright and festive or keep things subtle for everyday use.
The track holds the lights along the home’s exterior. Its placement and finish help the installation blend with the roofline or other architectural features during the day, while putting the lights where they’ll have the desired effect at night.
The lights need power and a controller to operate. When you select a colour, pattern, or schedule, the controller communicates those settings to the lighting system. Your Celebright dealer plans how the components will work together for your home.
The Celebright app is where you choose how your lights look and when they turn on. You can save favourite looks, set schedules, and manage different areas. Celebright also supports integrations with Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and IFTTT.
Your lighting can extend beyond the roofline, too. Celebright offers landscape lighting with five fixture types for areas such as gardens, paths, and outdoor living spaces, plus downlights for entries, porches, and architectural details. You can manage these products through the same Celebright app.
After installation, you control your Celebright lights from the app. You can pick colours, try different patterns and effects, adjust brightness, save a look you like, or schedule the lights to come on at a certain time. You can also control different parts of your property separately using zones.
For example, you could keep the front of the house warm white while adding colour to the backyard for a party. When the party’s over, you can bring back your usual look without changing a single bulb.
You can also build on a Celebright system over time. A homeowner might begin with roofline lighting and later ask about adding downlights or landscape fixtures. If you already have a system, a dealer can check its compatibility and power capacity before recommending an addition.
A zone is a group of lights you can control together. Instead of changing the entire display at once, you can give different areas their own settings.
Say you want colourful lights across the front roofline for Halloween but prefer a soft white light near the back patio. Zones let you make those choices independently. They’re also useful on everyday evenings, when you may want only certain parts of your home or yard lit.

Installation starts with a look at your home. A Celebright dealer considers its layout, the areas you want to light, and the effect you’re hoping to create. From there, they plan where the lights and track will go, install the system, connect its components, and set up the controls.
The design matters as much as the installation. A simple roofline may call for one approach, while a home with multiple peaks, a covered porch, or a backyard entertaining area may call for another. For a closer look at the process, see how we install permanent outdoor lights.
Rooflines, soffits, and eaves are common places for permanent house lights. You may also place lighting along other suitable architectural features, depending on your home’s design and what you want to highlight.
It doesn’t have to end at the house. Celebright downlights can bring light to covered entries and porches, while landscape lighting can carry it into paths, garden beds, and outdoor spaces. Your dealer can help decide which areas make sense for your property. If you’re particularly interested in lighting tucked along the edge of your roof, explore permanent soffit lights.
With traditional holiday lights, changing the look often means buying, hanging, and storing a different set. Permanent LED lights work differently: you change the settings, and the installed lights display your new choice.
Celebright’s RGBW lights can show colourful displays or a true warm white. Through the app, you can choose a colour, select a pattern, save a favourite look, or set different zones to different settings. One evening your home might have a quiet white glow; the next, it might be lit up in your team’s colours. The lights themselves haven’t moved.
The holidays may come to mind first, but permanent lighting earns its place throughout the rest of the year.
A warm white look can highlight your home's shape without making every evening feel like an occasion. Downlights can illuminate a porch or entry, while landscape fixtures can help make paths, steps, and transitions easier to see after dark. Thoughtful placement can also improve visibility around parts of your property.
When the holidays arrive, you can switch from your everyday look to a Christmas display in the app. Once the season ends, change the settings back. The lights stay installed, so you don’t have to climb a ladder each year to hang and remove them. Explore ideas for Christmas lighting.
Birthdays, backyard dinners, game nights, and sporting events can all call for something different. You might light up the whole house or keep the front subtle and add colour where guests gather.
Yes. Staying installed is what makes them permanent outdoor lights. You use the system year-round rather than putting it up for one season and taking it down afterward.
That doesn’t mean your house has to look festive every night. You can keep a restrained look for everyday lighting, turn the lights off when you don’t want them, and bring back a colourful display when the moment calls for it.
Regular Christmas lights are typically put up for the season, taken down afterward, and stored until next year. Permanent lights stay on the home and can be used for Christmas and the other eleven months.
The other major difference is control. With Celebright, you can change colours and patterns, save favourite looks, schedule the lights, and control zones through the app. For a fuller comparison, read about permanent versus temporary outdoor lighting.
The cost depends on your home and the system you choose. The length and complexity of the areas you want to light, the installation layout, and any additional lighting products can all affect the quote.

Permanent outdoor lighting gives you one installed system with plenty of ways to use it: warm white for a regular evening, colour for a celebration, and different settings for different parts of your property. Celebright’s app and zones make those changes simple, while downlights and landscape lighting extend the look beyond the roofline.
