What is permanent outdoor lighting and how is it different from seasonal lighting?
Quick Answer
Permanent outdoor lighting is a hard-wired, weather-proof LED system that is installed once along your roofline and stays in place year-round to highlight your property’s architecture, landscape, and safety zones. Seasonal lighting is Christmas lighting that goes up for the holidays and comes down afterward. We install both for homes and businesses, and our seasonal service includes takedown and storage.
Detailed Answer
At Lights Over Atlanta, permanent outdoor lighting means permanent roofline lighting, the kind many people call permanent Christmas lights. We install roofline, strip and pixel lighting, and the roofline and strip lights run from an app. Because the lights stay up, they’re ready for Christmas or an ordinary weeknight, and annual ladder work is behind you.
For seasonal lighting, we design and install a custom Christmas display. Earliest installation begins in October, and our calendar fills from there, so signing up in September or earlier gets you an earlier install date. We maintain your display through the season, then take it down in January and store it for you at no extra fee.
When you’re choosing between permanent and seasonal lighting, the main question is how much of the year you want your roofline lit. Permanent lights suit you if you want the house lit in either warm white light or a variety of colors for events well beyond December. Seasonal lights suit you if you want them only for the holidays and like a clear, unlit roofline the rest of the year.
