Permanent Outdoor Lights in Huntsville & Madison, Alabama: I Watched a Firefly Lights AL Install!

If you’ve been searching for permanent outdoor lights in Huntsville, Madison, or North Alabama, I recently got an up-close look at a locally owned option that just launched in our area: Firefly Lights AL.

I knew NOTHING about permanent lights except for my assumption that you can probably see them hanging on the house all year, which I would never want.

I WAS VERY WRONG. 🙂

Last month, I met Firefly Lights AL, which JUST LAUNCHED in our region, and the owners live in Madison!

Can You See Permanent Lights During the Day?

This was my biggest question. I went to a house while they were finishing an installation and literally thought they hadn’t started yet when I COULD NOT SEE THE LIGHTS WITH SQUINTING right under them! The lights shine down from a color-matched track tucked underneath your home’s trim.

So if the idea of having visible Christmas lights attached to your house 365 days a year has kept you from considering permanent lighting, this was the part that changed my perception entirely!

How Do Permanent Outdoor Lights Work?

Once the lights are up, Firefly will help you set up the app on your phone, and this is where you will FREAK OUT in the best way because you realize these aren’t really “Christmas lights” at all. 

They’re permanent exterior trim lighting that can completely change the look of your home whenever you want.

Christmas? FOR SURE!

But also game days, Halloween, birthdays, parties, warm white everyday lighting, subtle curb appeal, accent lighting, or basically any color combination you can think of. The options are actually limitless.

And when you don’t want them on, they’ll be off, and you’ll barely know they were there.

Permanent Christmas Lights Aren’t Just for Christmas

Yes, you can have classic Christmas lights without climbing a ladder or hiring someone to install them every holiday season. But you could also use your permanent lights for Alabama or Auburn game days, Halloween, birthdays, the Fourth of July, school or team colors, parties, seasonal colors, subtle exterior accent lighting, everyday warm-white lighting, etc.

And when you don’t want exterior lights on? Just turn them off!

What You May Be Thinking About Permanent Lighting

“I don’t want Christmas lights on my house all year.” Neither do I! But that’s not really what these are. You barely see the system during the day, and at night YOU decide whether you want them on and exactly how you want them to look.

“My HOA would never allow that.” Ask Firefly for info/pics to show your HOA. The color-matched track and how discreet it is might surprise you.

“I bet this eats up so much electricity.” These are LED, so they use very little electricity, and they’re designed to last for 100,000 hours.

Here’s where the math really starts to make sense…

If you’re already spending thousands having professional Christmas lights installed and removed every year, at what point does investing in a permanent system you can use ALL YEAR LONG for YEARS make more sense?!
