about our process

Our installation process is designed to be clean, secure, and built to last. We carefully plan each lighting run, measure for consistent spacing, and professionally mount every light using either our concealed rail system or secure clip installation. Wiring is neatly routed and hidden or color-matched wherever possible, giving you a polished daytime appearance and incredible lighting at night. Once installation is complete, we connect your system, set up the app, and show you how to create custom colors, scenes, schedules, and effects.

They blend discreetly into your roofline during the day and can transform your home at night with millions of colors, bright whites, custom patterns, animations, and effects. Control everything right from your phone for Christmas, Halloween, game days, parties, security lighting, or beautiful everyday accent lighting.

Why choose permanent lighting instead of traditional Christmas lights?
Permanent LED lighting gives you the look of professionally installed holiday lights without climbing ladders, untangling wires, or paying to install and remove lights every year. Your lights stay securely installed year-round and can instantly change for Christmas, Halloween, birthdays, game days, parties, or elegant everyday accent lighting. Just open the app, choose your colors or effects, and your home is ready for any occasion in seconds.

What can I use my lights for besides Christmas?
Your permanent LED lights are designed to be enjoyed 365 days a year. Create custom looks for Halloween, Fourth of July, birthdays, game days, graduations, parties, weddings, or virtually any special occasion. When you're not celebrating, switch to elegant warm-white accent lighting, architectural lighting, or security lighting to beautifully illuminate your home every night.

Why do you install Govee Permanent Outdoor Lights Pro?

With millions of colors, individually controlled lights, dedicated warm and cool whites, customizable animations, scheduling, and app control, you can completely transform your home in seconds. They’re designed for year-round outdoor use and give homeowners one system that can handle everything from Christmas and celebrations to elegant everyday accent and security lighting.Using Govee lights also gives you the peace of mind to know that the app will be functional (Govee is a very popular and stable company, not going out of business anytime soon) for many years to come. Additionally, using Govee lights, you have the option to install lights with or without the railing system - whatever is more flexible, affordable and convenient for your specific needs.

How many colors and lighting effects can I choose from?
With Govee Pro lights, you have access to over 16 million colors and an enormous variety of customizable effects. Your lights can chase, dance, pulse, fade, flicker, twinkle, change colors, and even react to music. You can choose from ready-made scenes or create your own combinations, giving you virtually endless possibilities for holidays, celebrations, game days, or everyday lighting.

Can I control everything from my phone?
Yes! Your entire lighting system can be controlled right from the Govee app on your smartphone. Change colors, adjust brightness, choose animated effects, create custom scenes, control different sections, and set automatic schedules—all in just a few taps. We’ll also set up the app and walk you through how everything works before we leave, so you can start enjoying your lights immediately.

Can I schedule my lights to turn on and off automatically?
Absolutely. Using the Govee app, you can create automatic schedules so your lights turn on and off exactly when you want them to. Set your lights for evenings, holidays, special occasions, or everyday accent lighting and let the system handle the rest—no switches, timers, or daily adjustments needed.

Can I use the lights as everyday architectural or accent lighting?
Absolutely. Permanent LEDs aren’t just holiday lights—they can provide beautiful architectural lighting every night of the year. Choose subtle warm or cool whites, soft colors, or lower brightness levels to highlight your home’s rooflines and architectural features. It’s an easy way to give your home an elegant, upscale nighttime appearance with just a tap on your phone.

Can I use the lights for security lighting?
Yes. Your permanent lights can double as bright exterior security and visibility lighting whenever you need it. Set sections of your home to bright white, schedule them to illuminate automatically at night, or quickly turn them on from your phone when you want additional exterior light. It gives you added functionality without needing your home to look like it’s decorated for a holiday year-round.

Can the lights produce normal warm and cool white light?
Yes! Govee Pro lights feature dedicated warm and cool white LEDs, so you’re not limited to colorful holiday lighting. You can create anything from a soft, warm architectural glow to a brighter, crisp white for everyday or security lighting. Adjust the brightness and white tone right from the app to create the perfect look for your home.

How much does a permanent LED installation cost?
Pricing depends on the total linear footage, number of stories, roofline complexity, mounting method, and overall installation difficulty. Every home is different, so we provide a customized quote based on your specific property and the look you want to achieve. Your investment includes the lighting system and a clean, professional installation designed to stay up year-round—eliminating the expense and hassle of installing and removing traditional holiday lights season after season.

Do you charge by the linear foot?
Linear footage is an important part of your quote, but we don’t base pricing on footage alone. Every home has a different roofline, height, access, transitions, mounting surfaces, and installation requirements. We look at the complete project so we can give you an accurate upfront price for a clean, secure, professional installation rather than surprising you with extra charges later.

What is included in the installation price?
Your quote includes the Govee Pro lighting system, professional installation, mounting hardware, wiring and necessary connections, clean wire management (rail track system if applicable) and complete system setup. We’ll also connect your lights to the Govee app, help configure your system, and show you how to control colors, effects, brightness, and schedules. Our goal is simple: when we leave, your system is installed, working, and ready to enjoy.

How do I know how many feet of lighting my house needs?
You don’t have to figure it out—we’ll handle the measuring for you. We evaluate the rooflines and architectural areas you want illuminated, determine the total linear footage, and plan the best route for your lighting system. We’ll also account for peaks, corners, transitions, and areas you may want to skip so you’re only paying for the lighting your home actually needs.

How long does installation take?
Most permanent LED installations can be completed in just one day. The exact time depends on the size of your home, total footage, number of stories, roofline complexity, and mounting option you choose. Before installation begins, we’ll plan the layout so our team can work efficiently while still taking the time to make sure everything is secure, evenly spaced, and professionally finished.

Where exactly will the lights be installed on my house?
We typically install the lights along your home’s soffits, eaves, fascia boards, peaks, and other prominent rooflines to create the best overall appearance. Placement is carefully planned based on your home’s architecture and the lighting effect you want. We also consider the distance from the wall, viewing angle, wiring, and daytime appearance so your installation looks clean when the lights are off and incredible when they’re on.

What is the difference between your concealed rail and secure clip installation?
Our concealed rail system provides the cleanest finished appearance by housing the lights and wiring inside a low-profile track that can be color-matched to your home. Our secure clip installation mounts each light directly to the fascia or mounting surface using durable mechanical clips—no relying on adhesive alone. With the clip option, some wiring may remain visible up close, but we can color-match the wiring and hardware to help it blend into your home. Both options provide a secure, professional installation; the best choice depends on your home’s architecture, mounting surfaces, and the finished look you prefer.

Can I just install these lights myself?
Absolutely—Govee Pro lights are available directly to homeowners and can be installed DIY. The biggest difference is in the finished product. A professional installation takes into account precise spacing, mounting distance, roofline transitions, secure mechanical mounting, wire management, splicing, and overall daytime appearance—not just getting the lights onto the house. We also handle the ladders, difficult rooflines, second-story work, and system setup, so you get a clean, secure installation without spending your weekend on a ladder figuring it out yourself.

Are permanent LED lights HOA-friendly?
In many communities, yes—but every HOA has its own rules. Permanent LED lights can be especially HOA-friendly because they’re designed to blend into the home when turned off, particularly with our color-matched concealed rail system. For communities with stricter architectural guidelines, we recommend checking your HOA requirements before installation. We can also provide information about the proposed placement and appearance to help with the approval process.

Can you color-match the rail, clips, or exposed wiring to my home?
Yes. One of our goals is to make your permanent lighting system look as clean and discreet as possible during the day. Depending on your installation, we can color-match the concealed rail, mounting hardware, and exposed wiring to better blend with your fascia, soffits, or trim. The result is a professional installation that blends into your home when it’s off and comes to life when the lights turn on.

Do you use adhesive to attach the lights?
No—we don’t rely on adhesive alone for a permanent installation. While Govee lights include adhesive backing, long-term exposure to heat, sun, moisture, and changing weather can cause adhesive to weaken over time. We use secure mechanical mounting with clips or our concealed rail system to keep the lights properly positioned and evenly spaced for a cleaner, longer-lasting installation.

How far from the wall do you install the lights, and why does it matter?
Placement makes a huge difference in the finished look. Installing the lights closer to the wall creates a stronger, more defined cone or wall-wash effect, while positioning them farther away creates a softer, wider glow and can give the roofline a more traditional lighting appearance. We evaluate your soffits, fascia, roofline, and architecture to determine the best placement—and can adjust it based on the look you prefer. Each Roofline may have a slightly different look and feel, but we can make it look as good as possible for your desired outcome.

Can you create a softer wall wash or a more traditional Christmas-light look?
Yes. The final lighting effect depends heavily on where the lights are positioned in relation to your home. We can position them to create a dramatic wall-wash effect, a softer architectural glow, or a look that puts more emphasis on the individual lights for a classic Christmas-light appearance. We’ll discuss the look you want before installation and choose the placement that works best with your home’s architecture.

Can you install permanent lights on a two-story or complicated roofline?
Yes. We install permanent lighting on single-story, two-story, and more complex rooflines, including peaks, gables, garages, transitions, and areas with limited access. We carefully plan the lighting path, extensions, wiring, and mounting locations so the finished system follows your home’s architecture naturally. More complicated homes may require additional installation time, but our goal remains the same: a clean, secure installation that looks great from every angle.

Are Govee Pro lights waterproof and designed to stay outside year-round?
Yes. Govee Permanent Outdoor Lights Pro are specifically designed for permanent, year-round outdoor use and are built to withstand rain, sun, heat, and changing weather conditions. When professionally installed with properly secured lights, wiring, and connections, the system is designed to remain on your home through every season—so there’s no need to take your lights down after the holidays.

How long do permanent LED lights last?
LED lighting is designed for long-term, year-round use, and with normal use, a quality permanent lighting system can provide many years of enjoyment. Because LEDs are extremely energy-efficient and aren’t constantly being installed, removed, packed away, and rehung like traditional holiday lights, there’s also less routine handling and wear. Actual lifespan will vary based on usage, weather exposure, installation conditions, and individual components, but the system is designed to be a long-term lighting solution—not something you replace every season.

What happens if one light or section stops working?
One problem doesn’t necessarily mean replacing your entire lighting system. Govee Pro systems are designed with replaceable and spliceable sections, allowing many issues to be isolated and repaired rather than starting over. If you experience a problem, we can help troubleshoot the system, identify the affected component or section, and determine the best way to get your lights back up and running.

What warranty comes with my lights and installation?
Your lighting system is backed by the manufacturer’s warranty from Govee, and Luminous Lights stands behind the quality of our professional installation. If you experience an issue, you can contact us and we’ll help determine whether the problem involves the lights, wiring, connections, or installation and guide you through the appropriate next steps. Specific warranty coverage and terms vary by component and installation, so we’ll clearly explain what’s covered with your system before installation.

How much electricity do permanent LED lights use?
Permanent LED lights are highly energy-efficient, especially compared with traditional incandescent holiday lights. Your actual electricity usage depends on the number of lights, brightness level, colors and effects you use, and how many hours they’re on each night. With built-in scheduling and brightness controls, you can easily limit operating time and energy use while still enjoying your lights year-round without a major impact on your electric bill.

Why should I have Luminous Lights professionally install them instead of doing it myself?
You absolutely can install Govee lights yourself—but a professional installation is about how the finished system looks, performs, and holds up over time. We carefully plan light placement and spacing, securely mount every section, manage and color-match wiring, handle clean transitions and splices, and safely tackle difficult or second-story rooflines. Instead of spending your weekend on a ladder troubleshooting wires and trying to get everything straight, you get a clean, secure, professionally finished system that looks great both day and night.

What happens after installation—will you set up the app and teach me how to use everything?
Absolutely. We don’t just install your lights and leave. Once your system is complete, we’ll connect everything, help set up the Govee app, and walk you through how to use your new lighting system. We’ll show you how to change colors, adjust brightness, choose effects, create scenes, and set schedules so you feel comfortable using everything from day one. When we leave, your lights will be installed, connected, and ready to enjoy.
