Itemised quote

Linear footage, track colour, controller, electrical and labour on one page. Valid 90 days, and we will explain every line on it.

Install & commission

Track is cut and colour-matched in the shop first, so install day is assembly. One to two days, then we build your scenes with you.

Why permanent

The last time you'll pay for outdoor lighting

Seasonal holiday lighting is a bill you pay every year, forever, and you own nothing at the end of it.

Permanent lighting goes up once. It is on the house every night of the year — warm white at 35% from dusk to 11pm is what most of our clients run for eleven months — and the holiday colour that used to cost you a weekend is now a setting you tap once in December and forget until January.

We also do the commercial side: storefronts, restaurants, office buildings and condo portfolios across the city, installed off-hours and scheduled to your operating hours.

  • No seasonal install costNot in year one, not in year twelve. Five seasons of seasonal install costs more than the system does.
  • Invisible in daylightTrack powder-coated to your fascia colour reads as a shadow line under the eave.
  • Every night, not six weeksArchitectural warm white is what it does for most of the year. Colour is there when you want it.
  • Built for this climateIP68, rated to −40 °C, expansion-jointed for a winter with dozens of freeze-thaw cycles in it.

Every one of these is one install

Nothing was changed between these photos except a setting in the app. That is the argument for permanent lighting in six pictures.

Reviews

What clients say

★★★★★

“Crew showed up when they said, ran the channel along the fascia and you genuinely cannot see it from the street in daylight. We run warm white most nights and the kids pick colours on their birthdays. Best money we've spent on the house.”

Marc ThériaultGoogle review · Ottawa
★★★★★

“I am done with ladders in November. Booked in October, installed in two days, and the app is dead simple — my mother-in-law can change the scene. They came back in the spring to re-aim two pucks, no charge.”

Jenn CardinalGoogle review · Kemptville
★★★★★

“Got three quotes. Bright Neighbour was the only one who walked the roofline with me, showed me where the transformer would sit and explained the warranty without me having to ask twice. First winter in, zero dead diodes.”

Questions

Permanent lighting, answered

What exactly is permanent outdoor lighting?

A slim aluminium track is fastened under your roofline, soffit or fascia and holds a run of individually addressable RGBW lamps — in our case IllumiDEL's 30 mm pixel, seated one per hole. The track is Gentek aluminium colour-matched to your trim, so from the street in daylight you see a shadow line and nothing more. At night it's warm-white accent lighting, holiday colour, or anything in between — controlled from your phone.

Is it just Christmas lights that stay up all year?

No. Holiday colour is one setting out of thousands. Most of our clients run the lamp's dedicated 3000K warm-white channel on a dusk-to-11pm schedule for eleven months of the year, because it reads as architectural lighting rather than decoration. The colour is there when you want it — Canada Day, a playoff run, a birthday.

Will drilling into my fascia cause leaks?

The channel mounts to fascia, soffit or trim with stainless fasteners and every penetration is sealed. We never fasten through shingles or into the roof deck, which is where leaks actually start. If your fascia is aluminium-clad, we mount to the sub-fascia behind it.

How does it hold up in an Ontario winter?

The pixels are rated to −40 °C and sealed to IP68, with threaded watertight connectors, and the roofline runs on 24 V DC so ice and meltwater aren't a shock hazard. Freeze-thaw is the real test here — roughly forty cycles a winter — which is why we use expansion gaps at track joints instead of butting runs tight.

How long does installation take?

Most homes are one or two days. We measure and quote on the first visit, fabricate the channel to your roofline lengths, then install, commission the controller and walk you through the app before we leave.

What does it cost?

Every property is different, so we quote rather than price off a list. The drivers are linear footage, roof access and how many storeys we're working at. The site visit and the quote are free, the quote is itemised line by line and good for 90 days, and financing is available if you'd rather spread it out.

What's the warranty?

Lifetime on the aluminium track, 12 years on the pixels and the Control Box, 3 years on the linear and fixture ranges, and 3 years on our labour. The hardware terms are IllumiDEL's published warranty; the labour term is ours. Warranty work on anything we installed is a phone call, not a claim form.
