How much do permanent architectural & accent lights cost?

The cost of a permanent lighting system is custom to each home. The primary factors that determine the price are the total linear footage of the rooflines being covered, the complexity of your home's architecture (number of peaks, gables, and stories), and any additional areas you'd like to include, such as patios or walkways. We provide a detailed, all-inclusive quote with no hidden fees after a free on-site consultation. This investment eliminates the recurring costs and hassles of seasonal light installation for years to come.

Can you see the lights and track during the day?

Our goal is for the system to be virtually invisible. We use a high-quality aluminum track that is color-matched to your home’s trim or soffit. When installed flush against the architecture, the track blends in seamlessly, preserving your home's curb appeal during the day. The lights themselves are discreetly housed within the track, so you only notice them when they're on.

Can I choose the color temperature of the white light? (e.g., warm vs. cool white)

Yes, and this is a key benefit of our system. You are not locked into a single shade of white. Our RGBW (Red, Green, Blue, White) LED system includes a dedicated warm white diode, but it can also be adjusted through the app to produce a full spectrum of whites—from a warm, cozy candlelight glow to a crisp, natural daylight, to a modern cool white. This allows you to find the exact color temperature that best complements your home's materials and your personal style.

Can the lights withstand the Arizona sun and monsoon season?

Absolutely. We specifically use commercial-grade, IP67-rated weatherproof and UV-protected systems designed to endure Arizona's harshest conditions. From the intense summer sun to the heavy winds and rain of a monsoon, every component is built to last. Our professional installation ensures that every connection is sealed and secure, providing you with a durable, long-lasting investment.

Why should I choose professional installation over a DIY kit?

While DIY kits are available, they cannot match the quality, durability, and polished look of a professional installation. A professional service from We Lighten guarantees: A Seamless Look: We hide all wires and create perfectly straight, clean lines that integrate with your home's architecture. No Dangling Cords: We are experts at navigating tricky transitions between eaves for a cohesive, polished appearance. Secure Mounting: Our lights won't unglue or fall down mid-season. We use secure, professional mounting techniques built to last. Safety & Warranty: Our licensed technicians handle all the electrical work safely, and our installation is backed by a comprehensive warranty. A professional installation is an investment in a permanent, high-end home upgrade, not just a temporary decoration.

Are these systems usually approved by Homeowners Associations (HOAs)?

Most HOAs in Arizona approve of permanent lighting systems because of their discreet, professional appearance. Since the track is color-matched and blends into the soffit, it's not considered a temporary or unsightly decoration. However, we always recommend confirming with your specific HOA's guidelines before installation. We can provide product specifications and photos to assist with your application if needed.

How long do the LED bulbs last, and is there a warranty?

The LED bulbs in our systems have a rated lifespan of over 50,000 hours. For the average homeowner, this translates to decades of use without ever having to change a bulb. We stand by the quality of our products and our work by offering a comprehensive 5-year warranty that covers both parts and labor for your complete peace of mind.

Will permanent lights significantly increase my electric bill?

No, you'll be pleasantly surprised by how energy-efficient the system is. We use modern, low-voltage LED technology that consumes a fraction of the power of old incandescent holiday lights. You can run your lights every single night without worrying about a major impact on your electricity bill.

Architectural & Accent Lighting | Lighten Up

Your home is a statement of your style and a source of pride. During the day, its unique character, textures, and colors are on full display under the Arizona sun. But when night falls, that carefully crafted beauty can disappear into the darkness.

What if your home could undergo a breathtaking transformation every single evening? Professional architectural lighting is the art of painting with light, turning your property into a nightly masterpiece that is both stunningly beautiful and securely illuminated. It’s more than just light; it’s your home’s evening elegance, redefined.

The same innovative system that creates dazzling holiday displays is also the key to sophisticated, year-round ambiance. At the touch of a button, the vibrant colors of celebration can transition into a soft, warm white light that completely redefines your home's exterior.

This isn’t the harsh, glaring light of a simple floodlight. This is a curated, gentle glow designed to complement your home's best features. Our permanent lighting system offers the ultimate in versatility, providing the perfect ambiance for quiet evenings, elegant entertaining, and everything in between.

Professionally designed architectural lighting is one of the most impactful upgrades you can make to your home, offering a host of tangible benefits.

Your home becomes a canvas for your creativity, ready for any occasion.

Elevate Your Curb Appeal: A beautifully lit home is a neighborhood standout. It creates a powerful first impression, exuding elegance, warmth, and sophistication every single night.
Enhance Security and Peace of Mind: A well-lit property is a proven deterrent to intruders. Our designs eliminate dark corners around your home, illuminating your entire perimeter and providing safe, clear pathways for your family and guests.
Extend Your Outdoor Living: Your patio, pool deck, and yard don't have to become unusable after sunset. The right lighting creates a resort-like atmosphere, allowing you to comfortably enjoy your outdoor spaces long into the evening.
Increase Your Home's Value: Architectural lighting is a highly sought-after feature that adds significant perceived and actual value to your property, offering an excellent return on your investment.

In a world of options, the quality of the installation is what separates a run-of-the-mill result from an exceptional one. Lighten Up is a local, Arizona-based business that takes immense pride in our work. We live in the communities we serve, and we stand by the quality of our craftsmanship with a detail-oriented and customer-focused mindset. We aren’t finished until the final product is exactly what you imagined.

For us, professional installation is not just a phrase; it’s a promise. It means:

Seamless Integration: Your lighting track will be perfectly color-matched and blended into the architecture of your home, making it nearly invisible from the street.
Flawless Alignment: No misaligned lights at different heights or crooked runs. We ensure every line is crisp, clean, and perfectly straight.
Hidden Wiring: No dangling cords or ugly jumper wires between eave transitions. Our technicians are experts at discreetly running connections for a polished, cohesive look.
Unwavering Durability: No lights ungluing and falling down mid-holiday season. We use premium, weatherproof materials designed to withstand the intense Arizona sun and monsoon storms.
Cohesive Design: We don’t leave certain eaves or rooflines looking unlit or unfinished. We create a comprehensive lighting design that beautifully illuminates your entire home.
