Permanent holiday lighting systems have exploded in popularity across the Kansas City metro. Homeowners are drawn to the convenience of app-controlled lights that work for every holiday and celebration without annual installation and removal. But are they worth the higher upfront cost?
What Are Permanent Holiday Lights?
Permanent holiday lights are LED track systems installed along your roofline and controlled via a smartphone app. Unlike traditional Christmas lights that go up in November and come down in January, permanent systems stay in place year-round and can be activated for any occasion.
The aluminum track housing is designed to blend with your roofline trim, making it virtually invisible when the lights are off. When activated, each individual LED can display any color, creating unlimited combinations and patterns.
The Cost Comparison
The average professional Christmas light installation in Kansas City costs $1,200 to $2,500 per season. A permanent holiday lighting system typically costs $3,000 to $6,000 for installation, depending on roofline length.
After the second or third year, the permanent system has paid for itself compared to annual installation fees. And you get year-round functionality that traditional seasonal lights simply cannot provide.
Beyond Christmas
The real value of permanent holiday lights extends far beyond the Christmas season:
