Can Permanent Holiday Lights Be Used for Soffit Lighting?

|

Permanent roofline lights are commonly considered a holiday lighting solution, but they are perfect for everyday soffit lighting.

If you’re a St. Louis area homeowner, who is in search of a cleaner exterior lighting installation with effortless customization and year-round curb appeal, permanent roofline lighting could be your ideal solution.

What is Soffit Lighting?

Soffit lighting usually refers to downlighting that is installed beneath the eaves of a home or commercial building. The downward lighting effect is a beautiful way to accent exterior walls or other architectural details, as well as highlight nearby landscaping and/or walkways.

Traditionally speaking, soffit lights are usually singular recessed fixtures or small downlights that are installed directly into the soffit. These traditional soffit lights are a popular choice for anyone looking to add accent lighting that also provides visibility and security. The downside – if there is really a downside – is that traditional soffit lighting is usually static, offering one color temperature, brightness level, and lighting effect.

Not that any of that is a bad thing, but permanent Christmas lights are one way to get the soffit lighting you desire, along with endless design flexibility.

How Permanent Holiday Lights Work

Permanent roofline/holiday lights are installed along the underside of the home’s roofline using a low-profile track to obscure wiring between the lights. When you have these lights installed by Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of St. Louis, you can be sure that your lights blend into your home’s exterior – and not visually distracting during the day.

At night, permanent roofline lights can be displayed in any color – or colors you choose – for any holiday, any cause, any event you might be hosting. And they most certainly can be utilized as eye-catching soffit lights by selecting only the lights you wish to illuminate, in any pattern imaginable.

You choose the pattern, color, non-color, and lighting temperature.

Do These Lights Replace Traditional Soffit Lights?

In many cases, if not most these days, permanent holiday lights are the choice for homeowners and business owners who are looking for a soffit lighting effect. They are not simply a great alternative to soffit lighting, when the main goal is to highlight architectural elements and provide safety and security too. They are a sensible investment for anyone who understands the benefits of having soffit lights and holiday-ready lights too – all in one installation.
