Understanding Permanent Lighting Costs

Permanent outdoor LED lighting is a one-time investment that eliminates the recurring cost and hassle of seasonal lighting. Unlike renting Christmas light installation services each year, permanent lighting is installed once, owned outright, and works year-round.

What drives the price:The biggest variables are your home's linear footage, the complexity of your roofline, and the type of LED system you choose. Color-changing and RGBW systems cost slightly more than warm-white setups but add tremendous flexibility.

Why Brightly pricing is competitive: We use professional-grade equipment with a lifetime warranty, but we're a local Utah company without franchise fees or national overhead. Our quotes reflect real value — not inflated margins.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cost

How much does permanent outdoor lighting cost in Utah?
Most Utah homes fall in the $2,200–$7,000 range depending on size and scope. A small home with roofline lighting starts around $2,200–$3,200. A large home with roofline, soffit, and patio lighting typically runs $4,800–$7,000. Use the calculator above to get a range specific to your home.
Is it worth it compared to hiring Christmas light installers every year?
For most homeowners, yes. Christmas light installers charge $650–$2,000+ per year — that's $3,250–$10,000 over five years with nothing permanent to show for it. Brightly's permanent lighting breaks even in 3–5 years, then saves you money every year after, while looking better and working year-round.
What's included in the installation price?
Everything: LED fixtures, mounting channel, controller, all wiring, professional installation labor, app setup, and a lifetime warranty on all hardware. No annual removal fees. No rental charges. You own it.
How much electricity does it use?
Very little. LED technology means most homes pay $18–$65 per year in electricity — even running lights 8 hours a night. That is a fraction of what traditional holiday lights cost to operate.
How long do the lights last?
Our LEDs are rated for 50,000+ hours and come with a lifetime warranty. They're designed to survive Utah winters — snow, ice, and freeze-thaw cycles. Most customers will never need to replace them.
How long does installation take?
Most homes are completed in 1–2 days. You go from zero to fully operational, app-controlled permanent lighting in a single visit.
