Everything you'd want to know.

Permanent outdoor lighting (sometimes called permanent Christmas lights, permanent holiday lighting or eave lighting) is a low‑voltage LED system professionally mounted under your roofline in a slim aluminum track. It stays up year‑round, is nearly invisible in daylight, and is controlled from an app so your home can show warm white every night and any color for any occasion.

The track is color‑matched to your trim or soffit, with eight stock finishes and custom powder coating available, so it blends into the eave. Most visitors don't notice it until the lights come on.

Most homes run $3,000–6,000 installed, depending on how much roofline you light. Front‑only installs are the most common starting point, and every quote from a certified Orca installer is itemized with no surprises.

Orca stands behind the product for five years. Your certified installer provides your warranty and handles any service, and because every installer sets their own terms for labor and workmanship, the specifics are spelled out in your quote. Ask your installer for the full details.

Yes. The fixtures are epoxy‑filled and sealed to an IP68 rating against water and dust, and the system is UL and cUL listed, and the controller lives in a gasketed exterior enclosure. The system runs on low voltage and is engineered for snow, ice, wind, salt air and summer heat, from Canada to the Gulf Coast.

The LEDs are rated for roughly 50,000 hours, which works out to well over a decade at typical evening use. Individual lights can be replaced without disturbing the rest of the run.

Each light draws about one watt. A typical front‑of‑house install running from sunset to midnight costs a few dollars a month in electricity.

Colors, patterns, brightness, zones and schedules. Save scenes for each holiday, set sunset‑to‑bedtime timers, and change everything from anywhere with an internet connection. The app is free and works on iPhone and Android.

Most homes are installed in a single day. Larger homes or full‑perimeter installs may take two. Your installer will confirm timing with your quote.
