01 — What We Do

Architectural lighting, not Christmas lights.

Permanent lighting is a finish on your home, like gutters or trim. Ours disappears during the day and reveals the architecture at night — every night of the year, not six weeks in December.

02 — The System

Engineered for Montana winters.

Low-voltage 24V lighting that plugs into a standard exterior outlet — typically no electrician, no trenching, no rewiring. The whole system draws less power than a single 60-watt bulb for every hundred lights.

Each bulb is a single point of light with a dedicated warm-white LED and 90+ CRI color rendering, so white reads as true warm white with no color fringing. Everything is sealed against the weather, and the aluminum track shields the LEDs from snow, ice and UV. The system is designed and built in Canada by Celebright, one of the few manufacturers that makes its own bulbs, control box, track and app, and tests them for real winters.

03 — Scenes

One system. Every night of the year.

Warm white is the default and the reason most people buy it. Everything else is there when you want it: Halloween, Diwali, the Fourth, a birthday, a rivalry weekend, or the two weeks in December when the whole street drives by slowly.

04 — Control

Your whole exterior, one screen.

Run the system from the app on any phone or tablet, or from a web browser anywhere in the world. Set it to follow sunset and sunrise, schedule scenes by date, or split the house into zones and light them independently.

ZONES

Up to ten zones. Warm white on the roofline, team colors on the deck, a softer glow on the path, all at once.

SCHEDULES

Follows sunset automatically all year, so it never needs adjusting. Set holidays months ahead.

REMOTE

Change scenes from the lake, the lodge or the airport. Works with Alexa, Google Home and IFTTT. No subscription.

PRESETS

Build your own or pull from a shared library of community scenes.

05 — The Track

Matched to your house, not to a catalog.

The track is the part nobody should notice. Eleven profiles cover every fascia, soffit and trim condition, and the aluminum is finished in over a hundred colors so it disappears into the house in daylight.

06 — How It Works

From first message to lights on.

Here's exactly what happens after you reach out. The images below are the real plan and preview we made for a Flathead Valley home, with the address and prices hidden.

01
Within one business day

You reach out. We get in touch.

Fill out the form below, or call or text (406) 955-3400. A real person, not a call center, gets back to you to learn about your home and what you'd like lit.

Hi! I'd love to get permanent lights on our house before the holidays.
Thanks for reaching out! We'd be glad to help. Which parts of the house would you want lit: just the front, or the whole roofline?
Mostly the front and the garage.
02
Before anyone climbs a ladder

We measure your roof from above.

We order a satellite measurement report of your home. Every eave, gable and roof edge is measured to the foot, so your plan and price are built on real numbers instead of guesses.

Sent with your estimate

Your lighting plan, and your home at night.

You get a map of your home showing every run we'd light and its length, with optional add-ons marked separately so you can choose. We also show you a preview of your own house at night, so you know exactly what you're getting before you decide.

Sign online, no paperwork

Approve your estimate and reserve your date.

Your written estimate lists every run, its footage and its price. Approve it online, and a 50% deposit reserves your install date and orders your track, color-matched to your trim. Before install day we confirm the measurements and trim color in person. The balance isn't due until your lights are up and working.

About two weeks after your deposit

Your lights go up.

Most homes take a single day, weather permitting. Track fastens to the fascia or soffit (never through your roof), wiring stays hidden, and before we leave we set up the app on your phone and build your first scenes with you.

07 — Why Permanent

Pay once instead of every December.

Seasonal installation runs $2.50–$5.00 per foot every year for about six weeks of use. A permanent system is one install that runs every night for two decades, and it typically pays for itself against hired seasonal crews within several years.

08 — Pricing

Priced by the foot. No mystery numbers.

Every quote is based on measured linear feet and the difficulty of the house. You see the tier, the footage and the total before anything is ordered.

Tier 01
$30 / ft

Single story, straightforward access, standard track profile, simple roofline.

  • Color-matched standard track
  • App setup and scene building
  • 1-year labor warranty
Most Homes
Tier 02
$35 / ft

Two story, or single story with multiple peaks, dormers and corners.

  • Everything in Tier 01
  • Multi-zone layout
  • Fall-protection install
Tier 03
$40 / ft

Steep pitch, difficult access, heavy corner count, or premium and custom track profiles.

  • Everything in Tier 02
  • Lift access when required
  • Custom profile options
WHAT MOVES YOUR PRICE

Four things, and you can see all of them

Footage is the big one, then height and access, then corner and peak count, then track profile. A 150-foot single story with clean runs prices very differently from 150 feet broken across six dormers — same footage, twice the work. Ask us to walk the tiers with you at the measurement; there is no hidden math.

PAYMENT

Half down, half when it works

A 50% deposit reserves your install date and covers your color-matched materials. The balance is due the day the system is finished and running — not before.

WHAT IT COSTS TO RUN

About $8 a year in electricity

Each bulb draws 0.3 watts. A typical 150-foot roofline is roughly 225 bulbs — about 68 watts for the whole house, less than one old porch bulb. Running five hours a night, every night, that is roughly 120 kWh a year, or about eight dollars at Flathead Electric's current residential rate.

09 — Instant Estimate

11 — Questions

Straight answers.

Will it look like Christmas lights in July?

No. In daylight the track is color-matched to your fascia and reads as trim. At night the default is a refined warm white that lights the architecture. Color scenes are there when you want them and off the rest of the time.

How much power does it use?

Very little. The system runs on 24 volts and uses less energy than a single 60-watt bulb for every hundred lights.

Is there a monthly fee or subscription?

No. The app is free and there is nothing to renew. You pay for the install once.

Does it work with Alexa or Google?

Yes. It works with Amazon Alexa, Google Home and IFTTT, so it can react to things like a doorbell camera or a game-day calendar.

What happens if I sell the house?

The lights stay with the home and the 10-year parts warranty transfers to the new owner. Buyers tend to see it as a finished, well-kept exterior.

Does it damage my roof or fascia?

Track mounts to fascia or soffit with screws. We do not penetrate roofing or shingles. Mounting holes are small and are a normal part of any exterior installation.

Do I need an electrician?

Usually not. The system is low-voltage and plugs into a standard exterior outlet. If your home needs a new outlet we will tell you before the job and coordinate a licensed electrician.

Where does the control box go?

Most often inside the garage, out of the weather and easy to reach. We confirm the location with you before install day.

Can I control it when I'm away?

Yes. The system is cloud connected, so you can change scenes or schedules from the app or a web browser anywhere with internet.

What if a bulb fails in year six?

Parts are covered by a 10-year manufacturer warranty that transfers to the next owner if you sell, and we handle the claim. Individual bulbs are replaceable, so a failure is a small fix rather than a new system. Our workmanship is covered for one year; service visits outside those terms are a flat trip fee plus parts, quoted before we come out.

Can it survive Montana winters?

It is rated to −40° and sealed against water. The aluminum track also shields the LEDs from ice, snow load and UV, which is a large part of why permanent systems outlast clipped-on lights.

Can you install in the winter?

Sometimes, weather permitting. We do not work on icy or snow-covered roofs, and we reschedule when it drops below about 5°F or the wind picks up, because cold vinyl siding and wire insulation crack easily. The best window is late summer through mid-November. Winter customers can sign in the off-season, lock in pricing, and install in early spring.

What if I replace my roof or paint later?

We remove and reinstall the system around roofing or painting work for a quoted flat rate. Nothing gets thrown away.

Will my HOA allow it?

Usually yes, because the track is color-matched and nearly invisible in daylight and the lighting can be set to a single warm white. If your HOA requires approval, we will provide track color samples and specifications for your submission.

How long does installation take?

Most homes are a single day. Larger properties and multi-zone packages may take two.

12 — About

Locally owned, valley based.

Lab Lighting is a small, locally owned company in Kalispell. The people who measure your home are the people who install it, and the ones who pick up the phone when you have a question three years from now.

We chose one system and learned it completely rather than carrying five brands we half understand. Every install is straight track, hidden wire, sealed penetrations and a clean site — because every roofline we finish is the only advertising that matters.
