Holiday lighting
Permanent Christmas Lights in Boise & the Treasure Valley
Permanent Christmas lights are installed once along your roofline and stay up all year. Pick a holiday scene in the app, such as classic red and green, all white or a twinkling pattern, and set it to come on at sunset. No ladders, tangled strings or boxes in the garage. After the holidays, the same lights run warm white or switch to the next occasion.
Permanent lights vs. hanging lights every year
| Hanging lights each year | Permanent lights | |
|---|---|---|
| Setup each year | Hang and remove strings every season | Installed once; choose a scene in the app |
| Ladders and roof work | Every year, often in cold weather | Only at installation and for occasional service |
| Storage | Boxes of lights, clips and cords | Nothing to store |
| Rest of the year | Lights come down | Warm white, other holidays, game days, or off |
| Daytime look | Strings and clips visible while up | Low-profile track designed to blend with trim |

What the holidays can look like
Holiday scenes on permanent lights trace the roofline evenly from one end to the other. Red and green, red and white, or a moving pattern can each be saved and reused every year.

Scenes, patterns and schedules

- Motion when you want it: TruLight lists 144+ motion patterns, from gentle twinkles to chasing colors.
- Set it and forget it: timers can turn the lights on at sunset and off at a time you choose, every day of the season.
- Zones: run a holiday scene on the main roofline and something different on the garage, or light only the front for the season.

After the holidays
Because the lights are permanent, January is not take-down time. Switch to warm-white architectural lighting for everyday curb appeal, or turn the lights off until the next occasion: Valentine's Day, the Fourth of July, Halloween, or game day. Read more about everyday warm-white lighting.

Permanent Christmas lights FAQ
What are permanent Christmas lights?
Permanent Christmas lights are LED lights installed once in a low-profile track along your roofline. Instead of hanging and removing strings every year, you choose a holiday scene in an app, and the same lights run warm white or other colors the rest of the year.
How much do permanent Christmas lights cost in Boise?
Pure Light Systems typically prices permanent roofline lighting around $27–$30 per linear foot, depending on the home, roofline complexity, access, layout, and project scope. It is a one-time installation rather than a yearly hang-and-remove cost.
Do I have to take them down after Christmas?
No. The lights stay up all year. After the holidays you switch to warm white, another color or off, and the track is designed to blend with the trim during the day.
Can I use them for other holidays and events?
Yes. The same lights can show Halloween, Fourth of July, Valentine’s Day or game-day colors, and you can schedule scenes ahead of time.
Can the lights turn on automatically?
Yes. TruLight timers can turn the lights on at sunset and off at a time you choose, every day, so holiday lighting runs without anyone climbing a ladder or flipping a switch.
Can you install permanent lights before Christmas?
It depends on the schedule and your home. If you want lights in place for the holidays, request a quote as early as you can so there is time to plan the layout and schedule installation.
