General

What is permanent outdoor lighting?
Permanent outdoor lighting is a discreet track of individually-programmable LED points installed permanently along your roofline, eaves, or architecture. It stays up year-round, is nearly invisible during the day, and is controlled from an app — so it works as warm-white accent lighting every night and switches to holiday colors, patterns, or game-day themes in seconds.
How is it controlled?
Everything runs from a smartphone app. You can pick from millions of colors, choose preset scenes and patterns, dim the lights, and schedule them to turn on at dusk and off at a set time automatically. No ladders, no timers, no tangled strings.
Is the lighting visible during the day?
The track is color-matched to your roofline, gutters, or trim, so it blends in and is very hard to notice in daylight. At night, only the light points you turn on are visible.
How long does installation take?
Most residential installs are completed in a single day, sometimes two for larger or more complex homes. We custom-fit the channel to your architecture and clean up completely before we leave.
How much does permanent outdoor lighting cost?
Pricing depends on the linear footage and the complexity of your roofline, so every quote is custom. Your free design consultation includes an exact price with no obligation, and we offer 1, 3, and 5-year financing so you can install now and pay over time.
Does it come with a warranty?
Yes. Our permanent lighting is backed by a 5-year JellyFish® product warranty, plus our own workmanship guarantee on the installation. See our warranty page for details.
Will it work in winter and bad weather?
Yes. The LED system is built for permanent outdoor use in all four seasons — rain, heat, and cold — which is exactly why it can stay up year-round.

Permanent Holiday Lighting

Who installs permanent holiday lighting near me?
Luma Edge Outdoor Lighting installs permanent holiday lighting across Richmond, Northern Virginia, Hampton Roads/Virginia Beach, Charlotte, and Jacksonville, NC. We're an authorized JellyFish® Lighting dealer offering free design consultations.
Can I really change it for every holiday?
Yes. From the app you can set red-and-green for Christmas, orange for Halloween, red-white-and-blue for the Fourth, your team's colors for game day, or warm white for everyday — instantly, as often as you like.
Do the lights stay up all year?
Yes, that's the point. The track is permanent and color-matched to your home so it's nearly invisible by day and ready whenever you want it at night.
Is permanent holiday lighting better than temporary Christmas lights?
For most homeowners, yes — no annual install, no ladders, no storage, brighter and more durable LEDs, app control, and year-round use. See our full comparison.

Roofline Lighting

Is permanent roofline lighting worth it?
For most homeowners, yes. You get nightly warm-white curb appeal, instant holiday lighting, added security, and no annual install — all from one professionally installed system backed by a 5-year warranty. See our breakdown.
Will the track be visible on my house during the day?
It's color-matched to your roofline, gutters, or trim, so it's designed to blend in and is very hard to notice in daylight.
Does roofline lighting work on brick and stone homes?
Yes. We fit the channel to the fascia, soffit, or trim line, so it works on brick, stone, siding, stucco, and mixed-material homes.
Can I use it for everyday lighting, not just holidays?
Absolutely. Most homeowners run warm white every night for curb appeal and security, then switch to colors for holidays and events.

String & Bistro Lighting

Where can you install string lighting?
Over patios, pergolas, decks, pool areas, gazebos, and open backyards. During your free consultation we'll design a layout and mounting plan for your space.
Is professionally installed string lighting better than DIY?
Yes — professional tensioning, mounting, and weather-rated components mean it hangs crisp, lasts longer, and avoids the drooping, extension-cord look of DIY strands.
Can string lighting be combined with roofline lighting?
Definitely. Many homeowners pair permanent roofline lighting on the house with bistro string lighting over the patio for a complete outdoor lighting design.

Pricing & Financing

How much does permanent outdoor lighting cost?
Pricing depends on the linear footage and the complexity of your roofline, so every quote is custom. Your free design consultation includes an exact price with no obligation, and we offer 1, 3, and 5-year financing so you can install now and pay over time.
What financing do you offer?
We offer 1, 3, and 5-year financing, subject to credit approval. You can also pay in full via text-to-pay.
