Permanent Christmas Lights For Capital Region Homes
Permanent Christmas lights go up once and stay up. The track mounts under the drip edge, disappears against the trim in daylight, and turns red and green in December without anyone climbing a ladder.

Permanent Christmas Lights vs A Seasonal Install
A seasonal install is a service you rebuy every fall. Someone hangs strands in November, takes them down in January, and stores them until next year. It looks great and it never stops costing money.
Permanent lights are hardware. One install covers Christmas, Halloween, the Fourth of July, birthdays, game days, and a plain warm white on ordinary nights. Most homeowners who paid for seasonal installs two or three years running have already spent what a permanent system costs.
What Stays Up All Year
Individually addressable RGBW LEDs sit inside a slim aluminum channel color matched to your trim or fascia. From the street in daylight it reads as a shadow line, not as Christmas lights left up in July.
Capital Pro Lighting prints its own mounting brackets, so the track sits flush to the roofline instead of hanging off it and catching ice. The InvisiLights fixtures are IP68 rated for a Capital Region winter.
Christmas Colors, And Everything Else
Warm white, cool white, red and green alternating by segment, candy cane patterns, slow fades, or a still solid color. You build a look once in the app, save it as a preset, and pull it up next December in two taps.
Scheduling means the lights come on at dusk and shut off at the hour you pick, every night of the season, whether you are home or not.
What Permanent Christmas Lights Cost
Govee Pro Permanent Lighting runs about $10 per linear foot and starts around $1,000. InvisiClips / Trackless is roughly $20 per foot. InvisiLights Track Mounted is about $29 per foot and starts near $2,500.
Measure your roofline on the cost calculator for a range, then call or text (518) 900-1912. Remote estimates are available, and we can come on site to show you the track and lights before you commit.

Inside The InvisiLights System
Capital Pro Lighting is an authorized InvisiLights dealer. These are InvisiLights' published product specs.
RGBW, Not Just RGB
InvisiLights uses a dedicated white channel alongside red, green, and blue, so warm white looks like real warm white instead of three colors blended together.
IP68 Rated
Dustproof and water resistant, which matters on a Capital Region roofline that sees ice in January and sun in July.
73 Built-In Presets
The app ships with 73 preset looks, and you can build and save unlimited presets of your own.
Scheduling
Set daily, weekly, or monthly schedules with the on and off hours you want. Set it once and forget it.
Light Segments
Control sections of the roofline separately for alternating colors, patterns, and movement.
Security Modes
Several security lighting modes keep the dark edges of the house lit without running a floodlight all night.

Bulb Spacing Comparison
See The Difference In Light Density
Both photos are the same house at night. The only change is how far apart the bulbs sit. Tighter spacing means smoother color blending and fewer dark gaps between points of light.
InvisiLights
12 inch spacing
Track and trackless both run 12 inch spacing, so colors blend smoothly across the roofline with tight, even points of light.
Govee
20 inch spacing
Govee runs 20 inch spacing, the budget-friendly option. You get the same color control with wider gaps between bulbs.

Authorized InvisiLights Dealer
We Install InvisiLights, And We Stand Behind It
We are an authorized dealer for InvisiLights, the permanent lighting system we recommend to most homeowners. Track mounted is our flagship, and trackless is the budget friendly way into the same commercial grade lights. We also install and program Govee permanent lighting for tighter budgets. The coverage is not identical, so here is exactly who handles what.
InvisiLights: we handle it
- Track mounted installs carry a lifetime parts warranty plus a 3 year labor warranty on our work.
- Trackless is the budget friendly way into the same commercial grade lights, with a 3 year parts warranty plus a 3 year labor warranty.
- If something happens to the system, you call us and we take care of it. No claim paperwork on your end.
- Custom 3D printed brackets and UL listed lights on every install.
Govee: we handle the claim, 1 year labor
- We warranty our installation for 1 year. We guarantee the install is done right.
- The Govee hardware carries its own 3 year manufacturer warranty from Govee.
- If the product fails, we handle the manufacturer claim for you instead of sending you to Govee.
- After the first year, the trip to swap or reinstall hardware is a billable service call.
A labor warranty covers the installation work we performed. If a mount, a run, a connection, or a channel we installed fails, we come back out and make it right at no charge for the length of that warranty. See full warranty coverage.

Common Questions
Do permanent Christmas lights look like Christmas lights in July?
No. The LEDs sit inside a channel color matched to your trim, so in daylight it reads as a shadow line. Off, there is nothing to notice.
How do permanent Christmas lights compare in cost to hiring a seasonal install every year?
Seasonal installs are a cost you repeat annually. Govee Pro Permanent Lighting starts around $1,000 and track around $2,500, once. Homeowners who paid for two or three seasons have usually already spent what a permanent system costs.
Can I get classic warm white bulbs, not rainbow colors?
Yes, and that is the most common everyday setting. Warm white on ordinary nights, red and green in December, and anything else only when you want it.
Do I control it or does it run on a timer?
Both. Schedules turn the lights on at dusk and off at the hour you pick, and you can override from the app any time.
Can I still get a traditional Christmas light install this year instead?
Yes. We do full seasonal installs with design, install, takedown, and storage. A lot of customers run one season that way and go permanent the next.
