What Are Permanent Outdoor Lights?
Installed once. Lasts 25+ years. Permanent outdoor lights are exterior LED lighting systems installed once and built to stay on your home year-round — no seasonal installation, no ladders, and no takedown.
Hidden by day, brilliant at night. Vancouver Glow systems are installed in colour-matched aluminum tracks along your soffits, fascia, and roofline, giving your home clean permanent outdoor lighting that stays nearly invisible by day and shines brilliantly at night.
Fully app-controlled. Built to last. Every Vancouver Glow lighting system is app-controlled, fully customizable, and built to last 25+ years, with colours, schedules, brightness, and lighting zones controlled from your smartphone.
Your Vancouver Glow lighting system can be used for all of the following:
Permanent Christmas Lights
Permanent Christmas lights let you decorate your home every year without climbing ladders, hanging string lights, or taking lights down after the holidays.
Permanent Soffit Lighting
Permanent soffit lighting installs LED track lights directly into your soffits for clean, downward-facing illumination that highlights your home's exterior and stays completely hidden during the day — a popular choice for Greater Vancouver homes.
Permanent Holiday Lights
Permanent holiday lights can be used for Halloween, New Year's Eve, Canada Day, Easter, birthdays, parties, Canucks games, Lions games, and other special events throughout the year.
Smart Exterior Lighting
Smart exterior lighting lets you set timers, automate your lights, schedule sunset lighting, improve visibility around your Vancouver home, and use your system as everyday security lighting.
Architectural Lighting
Architectural lighting highlights your home's roofline, peaks, and exterior features with a clean, built-in look that blends into your home during the day.
Outdoor Track Lighting
App-controlled outdoor track lighting connects to your home Wi-Fi, so you can control your lights, colours, brightness, schedules, and lighting modes from your smartphone — a favourite across the Lower Mainland.
