Products · The roofline system

A rail, a lamp,
and no visible wire.

This is the part of the range that goes on your roofline. A punched aluminium rail colour-matched to your fascia, holding 30 mm addressable RGBW lamps at your chosen spacing — invisible by day, architectural by night.

  • 120+ track colours
  • 2", 4" or 8" spacing
  • IP68 · −40 °C
  • 12-year warranty

The components

Two parts, quoted by the foot

Track is priced by linear footage and lamps by spacing, which is why a quote for a bungalow with a straight run looks very different from one for a two-storey with five gables.

The Pixel Track

IllumiDEL-Track (Gentek aluminium)

Gentek aluminium rail, punched for 30 mm pixels and available in over 120 colours — which is why a finished install reads as part of the fascia instead of as something added to it.

Spacing

Spacing decides what it looks like

This is the single biggest aesthetic decision on the project, and it gets made before anything is ordered — the rail is punched at the factory.

At 8" the lamps read as distinct points: clean, quiet, the closest thing to a traditional pot-light line, and by a wide margin the most popular choice. At 4" the points start to merge into a band at normal viewing distance. At 2" the run becomes effectively continuous, which is what you want on a short feature elevation or where the roofline is very close to the street.

We will show you all three on your own fascia before you decide. Bring the photos of houses you like and we will tell you honestly which spacing they are.

  • 8" spacingThe most common choice. Distinct points, the quietest look, fewest lamps and the lowest cost per foot.
  • 4" spacingTighter. Reads as a continuous line from the street, still resolves to points up close.
  • 2" spacingEffectively solid. Best for short runs, feature elevations and close viewing distances.
  • Mixed on one propertyThere is no rule saying the garage and the front gable have to match. Often they should not.

The track

Colour-matched, not just white

Gentek aluminium in over 120 colours. We hold samples against your fascia in daylight before anything is ordered, because a white that is slightly wrong is more visible than a dark colour that is slightly wrong.

Rails come in 6-foot standard lengths and are cut to your roof measurements in the shop, so install day is assembly rather than fabrication. Two mounting options cover almost every house: soffit rail, tucked under the eave so the lamps aim down the wall, and mural mounting on the fascia face where there is no soffit to work with.

  • Soffit railUnder the eave. The most discreet option — from the street you see a shadow line and light on the wall.
  • Mural mountingFace-mounted on the fascia. Used where there is no usable soffit, and for deliberately bold architectural runs.
  • Gentek aluminiumThe same material family as residential fascia and soffit, which is why the colour match works at all.
  • Cut in the shopRails are cut and drilled to your measured lengths before we arrive, not on your driveway.

Profile and diffuser

Where a run needs to read as a solid line of light rather than a row of lamps — under a soffit, along a railing, around a garage door.

Aluminium Profile & Diffuser

IllumiDEL-Track2100 / 3100 / 4100B / 5100 / 9100

For the linear products: an anodised 6063-T5 extrusion with a polycarbonate diffuser, so a strip reads as a continuous line of light rather than a row of diodes.

Extrusion
Aluminium alloy 6063-T5, anodised
Diffuser
Polycarbonate, UV-resistant, impact-resistant
Why anodised
Adds a wear, oxidation and UV barrier over the finish
Why 6063-T5
High thermal conductivity — it sinks heat away from the LEDs

Questions

Pixels and track, answered

How long do the lamps last?

The pixels are rated at 50,000 hours. Running dusk to 11pm year-round is roughly 2,000 hours a year, so the rating is about 25 years of that schedule. The warranty is 12 years on the pixel and on the Control Box.

What happens if one lamp fails?

Each lamp threads into the run with a compression-fit watertight connector, so a failed one is unthreaded and swapped without cutting anything. Because every lamp also re-drives the data signal, the run keeps working past the failure rather than going dark downstream.

Is IP68 actually needed on a roofline?

It is the meltwater that matters, not rain. An Ontario roofline goes through freeze-thaw cycles all winter, and water that has somewhere to sit will find its way into anything less than fully sealed. IP68 is submersion-rated, which is more than the application strictly needs — that is the point.

Can the track be removed later?

Yes. It is fastened into fascia, sub-fascia or trim with stainless screws and every penetration is sealed. If you ever take it down, you are patching screw holes in fascia rather than repairing a roof.

Do I have to choose colours at install time?

Only the track colour and the lamp spacing, because those are physical. Everything else — warm white, cool white, single colours, patterns, animations, schedules — is chosen in the app afterwards and changed as often as you like.

Hold the track colours against your own fascia.

We bring the samples, measure the roofline and leave you an itemised number. Free, and about 45 minutes.
