Frequently Asked Questions

How are permanent lights attached to my house?

Permanent outdoor lighting uses a commercial-grade aluminum track system that mounts directly to your soffit using color matched screws. The track houses the individual LED pucks.

How long do permanent LED lights last?

The permanent lighting systems we use at prime lighting are rated for 50,000 hours of operation depending on average brightness settings. This translates to approximately 15 to 20 years of typical seasonal and security use. 

How bright are permanent Lights?

Yes, permanent LED lighting produces more than enough brightness for effective security and safety lighting. Each Watts pixel light outputs approximately 60 lumens to illuminate your entire roofline, walkways, and entry points with crisp white light. 

Can I install permanent lighting myself?

While DIY permanent lighting kits exist, professional installation is strongly recommended for several critical reasons. Many professional installers also include warranties.

Can permanent lights be pressure washed?

Yes, Watts permanent lighting systems have an IP65 waterproof rating that allows you to pressure wash your home's siding without damaging the lights. The sealed pixel lights and aluminum track housing are designed to withstand direct water pressure.

How energy efficient are permanent LED lights?

Permanent LED lighting is extremely energy efficient compared to traditional holiday lights. Each Watts pixel light uses only 0.72 watts at full brightness and color, meaning most residential installations consume less power annually than a single traditional pot light bulb.

What colors can the lights display?

Watts permanent lighting uses RGBWW pixel technology capable of displaying millions of color combinations through the smartphone app. The system also includes all spectrum of white light. 

Do permanent lights increase home value?

Unlike temporary decorations that add no value, a professionally installed permanent lighting system is a tangible improvement that differentiates your property and adds to its overall market appeal.

Can I schedule the lights to turn on automatically?

Yes, the Watts smartphone app includes a comprehensive timer and scheduler that automatically turn your lights on and off based on your preferences.
