Everything You Need to Know About Permanent Lighting
Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about permanent pixel lighting, installation, pricing, or how the system works? Find answers to some of the most common questions homeowners ask MAN Perm Lights.
What is permanent pixel lighting?
Permanent pixel lighting is a professionally installed LED lighting system designed to remain on your home year-round. The lights can be installed along rooflines and architectural features and can be customized for everyday use, holidays, celebrations, and special events.
How does permanent lighting work?
The lighting system is installed along selected areas of your home’s exterior and connected to a control system. Depending on the system, you can customize colors, brightness, patterns, effects, and schedules.
What is the difference between permanent lighting and traditional holiday lights?
Traditional holiday lights typically need to be installed and removed every year. Permanent lighting stays installed year-round, allowing you to create holiday and seasonal displays without the yearly hassle of ladders, tangled wires, storage, and installation.
Can I change the colors of my permanent lights?
Yes. Permanent lighting allows you to change colors and create different lighting scenes. You can use subtle white lighting for everyday curb appeal or vibrant colors for holidays, sports, parties, and other occasions.
Can I control my lights from my phone?
Many permanent lighting systems include smart controls that allow you to manage your lights from a compatible smartphone or control application. Features can include color selection, brightness, patterns, scenes, timers, and schedules.
Can I use permanent lights for holidays?
Absolutely. Permanent lighting can be customized for Christmas, Halloween, Valentine’s Day, Independence Day, and other holidays. You can switch between different colors and scenes whenever you want.
Can I use the lights every day?
Yes. Permanent lighting isn’t only for holidays. You can use warm white or other subtle settings to highlight your home’s architecture and improve its appearance after dark.
Where can permanent lighting be installed?
Permanent lighting can often be installed along rooflines, eaves, peaks, gables, windows, garages, entryways, and other architectural features. The best installation areas depend on your home’s design and exterior materials.
Will permanent lights be visible during the day?
Permanent lighting systems are designed to maintain a clean appearance during the daytime while providing a strong visual effect at night. The exact appearance depends on the lighting system, installation location, and exterior of your home.
How long does installation take?
Installation time varies depending on the size of the property, the amount of lighting being installed, the roofline layout, and the complexity of the project. MAAN Perm Lights can provide a more accurate timeframe after evaluating your project.
How much does permanent lighting cost?
Every project is different. Pricing can depend on the size of your home, the length of the roofline, installation complexity, the number of lights, and the lighting system selected. Contact MAAN Perm Lights for a customized quote.
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes. Contact MAAN Perm Lights to discuss your property and lighting goals and request a quote for your project.
Are permanent lights weather resistant?
Permanent outdoor lighting systems are designed for exterior applications and normal outdoor weather conditions. Proper installation and the use of appropriate outdoor-rated components are important for long-term performance.
Do permanent lights require maintenance?
Permanent lighting generally requires less seasonal maintenance than traditional holiday lighting because the system remains installed. Like any outdoor electrical system, occasional inspection or service may be needed if an issue occurs.
What happens if one of the lights stops working?
If you notice a problem with your lighting system, contact MAAN Perm Lights. We can help determine the cause of the issue and recommend the appropriate service or repair.
