Permanent Roofline Lighting Installation
Permanent roofline lighting is a low profile LED track run along the eaves, gables, and peaks of the house. The roofline lights stay up all year, hide against the trim in daylight, and turn on to whatever color and brightness you pick at night.
Any color, from your phone

What Permanent Roofline Lighting Is
A slim aluminum channel is mounted under the drip edge and along the trim lines, with individually addressable RGBW LEDs seated inside it. The channel is color matched to the trim or the fascia, so the run reads as a shadow line rather than hardware.
There are no clips to hang every November and nothing to take down in January. One install covers warm white on an ordinary Tuesday, red and green in December, orange in October, and team colors on game day.
Permanent Roofline Lights Vs Seasonal Strands
Seasonal strands go up on clips in November and come down in January, which means ladders on ice, storage in the garage, and a fresh labor bill every year. Permanent roofline lights are installed once and controlled from an app after that.
The other difference is what the house looks like in daylight. A strand hangs off the gutter line and reads as decoration. Track sits flush and color matched, so from the street in July there is nothing to notice.
Signature Track Or Elite Track
Signature Track Lighting gives you a premium, polished line of light with fixtures set at 12 inch intervals. Elite Track Lighting is our highest density layout, set at 8 inch intervals, so the roofline reads as one continuous glow. Both are app controlled and carry the same warranty.

Where The Roofline Track Goes On Your House
Most homes get the full front roofline first, since that is the line people see from the street. From there the common additions are gable peaks, dormers, garage bays, columns, and the side rooflines visible from the driveway.
Segment control means each of those runs can sit at its own color and brightness. The front can hold a soft warm white while a peak runs slightly brighter, or the driveway side stays lit while the bedroom side dims down.
Installed To Survive A Capital Region Winter
Capital Pro Lighting color matches the aluminum track to your trim, so it sits flush against the roofline instead of hanging off it and catching ice. The fixtures we install are IP68 rated, which is what you want on a roof that sees ice in January and full sun in July.
Every job uses UL listed lights. Permanent Track Lighting installs carry a lifetime parts warranty plus a 3 year labor warranty on the installation.

Inside Our Permanent Lighting Systems
Capital Pro Lighting is an installer of Permanent Track Lighting. These are the specifications for our permanent lighting systems.
RGBW, Not Just RGB
Our system 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

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.

Common Questions
Where exactly does the track get mounted on the roofline?
Under the drip edge and along the fascia lines, so the channel sits in the shadow the trim already casts. Gable peaks, dormers, and garage bays are separate runs off the same system.
Will I see the track from the street during the day?
The channel is color matched to your trim or fascia and fastened tight to the house. From the sidewalk it reads as a line of trim rather than hardware.
Can different sections of the roofline run different colors?
Yes. The LEDs are individually addressable, so the front can hold a soft warm white while a peak runs brighter, or two colors can alternate segment by segment.
How much does roofline lighting cost per foot?
We measure your roofline and recommend the right layout for your home. Call or text (518) 900-1912 for a custom quote.
Does ice damage the run over a winter?
The channel sits flush instead of hanging off the edge where ice collects, and the fixtures are IP68 rated. Track installs carry a lifetime parts warranty.
