If you’re considering permanent LED lighting for your home, you’re likely asking the big question:
“What’s it going to cost me?”

And that’s fair—after all, it’s not just about adding lights; it’s about making an investment in your home’s beauty, function, and value.

At Prestige Illumination, we believe in transparent pricing and long-term value. Here’s what goes into the cost of permanent LED lighting—and why it’s worth every penny.

1. The National Average (and What to Expect)

Across the U.S., most homeowners can expect to spend between $2,500 and $6,500 for permanent LED lighting, depending on several key factors. This includes:

• The length of roofline or trim being lit
• The complexity of the home’s architecture
• Whether you’re lighting just the front, or front + sides + backyard
• Optional features like motion sensors or extra zones

At Prestige Illumination, we provide custom quotes based on your exact needs—never a one-size-fits-all estimate.

2. What’s Included in the Price?

Your investment covers much more than just lights. With Prestige, you get:

• Professional installation with custom-cut tracks
• Color-matched aluminum track housing (blends with your trim)
• A smartphone-controlled system
• Access to 16+ million colors and 120+ preset animations
• A weather-resistant, low-profile design
• Up to 50,000 hours of bulb life

There’s no recurring installation fee—just one seamless install that lasts for years.

3. Factors That Affect Cost

To give you an accurate quote, we look at:

• Linear footage (the more square footage, the higher the price)
• Roofline complexity (peaks, dormers, multi-story setups)
• Additional lighting zones (e.g., patio, driveway, side yard)
• Optional upgrades like motion detection or integration with smart home systems

We’ll walk you through each variable during your consultation so there are no surprises.

4. How Long Do Permanent LED Lights Last?

Your system is built to last:

• Lights rated for 50,000+ hours
• Tracks and hardware built for all-weather exposure
• No bulb replacements, no re-hangs, and no rusting fixtures

That means you can go a decade or longer without needing a single repair or replacement.

5. What About Ongoing Costs?

Great news:

• Zero maintenance fees
• Minimal energy usage (LEDs use up to 80% less energy than incandescent lights)
• No more buying or replacing seasonal light strands
• No more paying for annual installation or takedown services

It’s a one-time investment that saves money every year.

6. Can It Actually Pay for Itself?

Absolutely. Consider this:

Over 5 years, most homeowners spend:

• $250–$500 per year on temporary holiday lights
• $300–$700 per year on installation services
• Even more in energy costs using outdated bulbs

With permanent lighting:

• You eliminate those recurring expenses
• You enhance curb appeal, which can add value to your home
• You get multi-purpose lighting: holidays, security, game day, patio nights, and more

Many of our clients say their system has paid for itself in just a few seasons.

7. Is Financing Available?

Yes! We offer flexible payment options to make permanent LED lighting more accessible. During your free consultation, we’ll:

• Review available payment plans
• Discuss phased installs (start with the front, expand later)
• Make sure the investment fits your timeline and budget

Final Thoughts: It’s Not Just Lights—It’s a Lifestyle Upgrade

Permanent LED lighting may cost more upfront, but it gives you:

• Long-term savings
• Year-round value
• Daily curb appeal
• Smart-home integration
• Peace of mind with a low-maintenance, high-impact feature

It’s not just about lighting up your home—it’s about lighting up your life.
