Permanent Christmas Lights, Up All Year
Permanent Christmas lights are low-profile LED fixtures mounted in a track under the roofline. They stay up all year and change colors and scenes from a phone app, so one install covers Christmas, every other holiday, and everyday accent lighting. Lets Get Lit Supply carries professional Omni permanent lighting systems for certified installers.
What are permanent Christmas lights?
Permanent lights are commercial LED fixtures that sit in a slim track tucked under the roofline or eave. They are barely noticeable in the daytime and come to life at night in any color or pattern you set from an app. Because they are mounted once and stay put, there is no climbing a ladder every November and no taking anything down in January.
They are not only for Christmas. The same fixtures handle Halloween, Fourth of July, game days, parties, or a simple warm-white wash for everyday curb appeal, all from the same app.
Permanent lights vs. hanging C9 every year
| Permanent lighting | Seasonal C9 install | |
|---|---|---|
| Install | Mounted once, stays up all year | Hung and taken down every season |
| Labor | One install, then app control | Ladders and crew time twice a year |
| Lifespan | Commercial LED, built for years outdoors | Reused seasonally with repairs as needed |
| Colors | Any color or scene, changed from a phone | Fixed by the bulbs you hung |
| Use | Every holiday plus everyday accent light | Mostly the Christmas season |
| Up-front cost | Higher at install, then very little | Lower up front, repeated each year |
Seasonal C9 still wins for a classic warm-white roofline on a budget, which is why most installers offer both. Permanent lighting is the upsell that keeps a customer lit all year.
Omni permanent lighting
Omni RGB is the permanent system we carry. The perimeter lights are some of the easiest to install, with versatile power and track options, and the RGBW fixtures mix red, green, blue and a true white so colors stay clean and whites stay warm. You build the system from a few parts: the fixtures, the track they sit in, and a power supply and controller to run them.
Omni RGB is sold to certified installers. To keep installs and service to a high standard, Omni products are available to certified professionals. Certification is contractor friendly with no annual fees. If you install lights for a living and want to add permanent lighting, give us a call to get certified.
Minleon permanent lighting
If you already run Minleon on the seasonal side, Minleon makes a permanent lighting system too, sold under the Rainmin name. We do not stock it, but we are happy to point you to it so you can compare specs and see if it fits your business.

What permanent lighting costs
The total comes down to how much roofline you are lighting, how many stories, the fixtures and track you choose, and the controller that runs it. On the materials side, our Omni parts give you a sense of the building blocks: tracks start around $7.75 for a 40-inch double track, RGBW perimeter fixtures run up to about $44.25, and a weatherproof 150W 24V power supply is about $131.30. A full roofline adds up from there based on length and fixture count.

Add permanent lighting to your business
Permanent lighting is the fastest-growing part of this industry, and it is a natural add-on for a crew that already hangs seasonal lights. It turns a one-season customer into a year-round one, and the margins are strong. The path is simple:
- Get Omni certified through us. Certification is contractor friendly with no annual fees.
- Quote permanent jobs alongside your seasonal installs.
- Order the fixtures, track and controllers from us and keep the install in house.
Permanent lighting questions
How much do permanent Christmas lights cost?
It depends on the roofline length, the number of stories, the fixtures and track, and the controller. As a materials guide, our Omni tracks start around $7.75 for a 40-inch double track, RGBW fixtures run up to about $44.25, and the 150W power supply is about $131.30. For a real number on a specific house, send us the roofline and we will put together a quote.
Are permanent lights visible during the day?
Barely. The fixtures sit in a low-profile track tucked under the roofline or eave, so from the street they read as a thin trim line during the day and only stand out at night when they are on.
Can I use them for other holidays?
Yes, that is the whole point. Set any color or scene from the app, so the same system covers Christmas, Halloween, the Fourth of July, game days, or a simple warm-white wash for everyday curb appeal.
How long do permanent lights last?
They are commercial-grade LED systems built to stay outdoors year-round for years, with a weatherproof power supply. They are made to be mounted once and left up.
Can I install them myself?
The Omni system we carry is sold to certified installers to keep installs and service to a standard. If you are a homeowner, the best route is to have a certified installer do it. If you install for a living, you can get Omni certified through us, with no annual fees.
Which permanent lighting brand is best?
We supply and train on Omni RGB, so that is the one we stand behind for installers. Minleon makes a permanent system too, which we are happy to point Minleon shops to. Trimlight is another dealer brand homeowners often ask about. All three mount once and run from an app, so the best choice usually comes down to who installs and services it.
