Put your lights up once. Never climb a ladder again. Angler Permanent Lighting installs permanent LED roofline lighting on homes in Cobb County and the surrounding metro Atlanta area. We’re licensed and insured with $2 million in coverage. The lights sit inside a slim aluminum track matched to your trim, so you barely see it during the day. At night you pick the look from your phone: Christmas, game day, or warm white every night.
What permanent Christmas lights are
Permanent Christmas lights are LED lights mounted once along your roofline and left up all year. Instead of strings you hang and take down every season, the lights live inside a low-profile track that blends into your fascia or soffit. You control them from an app, Alexa, Google Assistant or Matter, and change colors whenever you like.
For most Atlanta homeowners, that means three things:
- No more ladders. The install happens once, by our crew. You never climb up for Christmas again.
- No more paying every year. Atlanta homeowners spend about $539 a season having holiday lights hung, according to Angi. Permanent lights replace that cost with one install.
- More than Christmas. The same lights do Halloween, July 4th, your team’s colors on game day, or soft warm white as everyday accent and security lighting.
Why Atlanta homes are a good fit
Two-story houses and steep rooflines. Plenty of homes around Cobb County are two stories with steep pitches, peaks and gables. Those are the roofs where hanging lights is most dangerous. The Consumer Product Safety Commission counts about 160 holiday decorating injuries a day during the season, and nearly half of them are falls. Permanent lights take the ladder out of the holidays for good.
Heat, humidity and summer storms. Adhesive clips and stick-on lights struggle in Georgia heat and humidity. We install the Prairie system, which was designed in Calgary, Canada, for snow, ice, deep freezes and high winds. The components are sealed and weatherproof, so Atlanta summers and storms aren’t a problem.
HOAs. Many Atlanta neighborhoods have HOA rules about exterior changes. The track is low-profile and color-matched to your trim, which is usually what HOAs care about. If yours needs approval first, we’ll give you the product details to submit.
The system we install: Prairie
We install one system, Prairie, because it’s built for people who never want to think about their lights again.
- Aluminum track matched to your trim. The lights and wiring sit inside the track, out of the weather and out of sight. There’s no row of plastic pucks and no adhesive waiting to let go.
- Real warm white, plus millions of colors. Each pixel has a dedicated warm-white LED alongside the color LEDs, so everyday lighting looks like clean, warm house light.
- Every light controlled on its own. Chases, patterns and two-color looks, like red and green for Christmas or your team’s colors, plus schedules that turn the lights on and off for you.
- A warranty that covers you. Prairie backs its pixels with a 25-year warranty. Every Angler install also comes with our own 5-year warranty. If something isn’t right, you call us. You don’t get back on a ladder.
