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 stays in place year-round to highlight your property’s architecture, landscape, and safety zones. Seasonal lighting is temporary décor—such as Christmas roofline lights and garlands—installed for a few weeks, then professionally removed and stored. One is built to last; the other celebrates specific occasions, neither require you to lift a finger.
Detailed Answer
At Lights Over Atlanta, permanent outdoor lighting means a custom-engineered, high or low-voltage LED system hard-wired into your home or business and intended to shine every single night. Our certified designers lay out highly efficient LED uplights, pathway fixtures, and timers to deliver architectural landscape lighting Atlanta homeowners love—boosting curb appeal, safety, and property value. Because the fixtures carry a lifetime warranty, you never climb a ladder; our Atlanta outdoor lighting maintenance team provides cleaning, aiming, and replacements through simple service plans.
Seasonal lighting is different—it’s temporary décor installed for specific celebrations. Think custom Christmas light installations that go up around Thanksgiving, shine through just after New Year’s, and include everything from elegant rooflines and trees to HOA entrance garlands that make the whole community sparkle. All wiring, clips, and timers are designed for quick set-up and safe takedown, with our crew handling removal and storage once the season ends.
In short, permanent lighting is a durable architectural enhancement that lives outside year-round, while seasonal lighting is a removable accent designed purely for festive flair. Lights Over Atlanta offers turnkey design, installation, and ongoing support for both options (for both homes and businesses), so you can enjoy nightly elegance, holiday magic, or a seamless blend of the two without lifting a finger.
