Permanent outdoor lighting typically costs $2,500–$8,000 installed for a full home exterior — or $16–$38 per linear foot depending on the system, home size, and local labor. Unlike seasonal lights you take down every year, permanent lighting runs on a timer, requires zero maintenance, and adds curb appeal year-round.

Brighter Nights offers seven interconnected systems, each with a different footprint and price point.
| System | Typical Installed Range | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Roofline Track | $3,000–$8,000 | Full home perimeter, holiday color changes |
| Soffit Accent | $2,000–$5,500 | Under-eave wash, architectural drama |
| Landscape | $1,800–$4,500 | Trees, beds, pathways, focal points |
| Outdoor Sconce | $800–$2,500 | Entry doors, garage pillars, accent walls |
| Pool Enclosure | $1,500–$4,500 | Screen-room perimeter, under-beam LED |
| Deck & Dock | $1,500–$4,000 | Rail lighting, step lights, dock perimeter |
| Outdoor Flood | $500–$2,000 | Driveways, courts, security coverage |
Many homeowners bundle two or three systems — roofline plus landscape — for a combined investment of $4,500–$10,000.
Linear footage is the biggest variable. Most homes fall between 150–300 linear feet of primary roofline.
System selection matters. Mixing systems adds material but often reduces the cost per visual impact.
Complexity adds labor. Multiple roofline breaks, steep pitches, and vaulted soffits each add 10–20% to labor time.
Your location affects labor rates. Florida and the Sun Belt run lower; the Northeast and Pacific Coast run 15–25% higher.
Controller and app are included — every Brighter Nights system uses Bluetooth mesh and runs through a single app at no subscription cost.
Permanent outdoor lighting is not a DIY product. Brighter Nights is sold exclusively through stocking distributors and installed by Certified Masters of Lighting. There are no DIY kits and no big-box retail SKUs.
Every quote includes professional installation, a warranty-backed workmanship guarantee, and ongoing app support. To get matched with a certified installer, fill out the free design form. An estimate comes back within 48 hours.
A homeowner who previously spent $600/year on holiday lights saves $6,000 over 10 years — fully offsetting a mid-range roofline installation.
Most homeowners in a 1,800–2,800 sq ft single-story spend $3,000–$5,500 for a full roofline installation. Adding landscape or soffit lighting brings the total to $5,000–$9,000.
Many Certified Masters of Lighting offer financing through third-party home improvement lenders. Common options include 12-month same-as-cash and multi-year installment plans.
Brighter Nights products carry a manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Your certified installer also provides a workmanship guarantee. Contact us through the design form for current terms.
A roofline installation on a typical single-story home takes one day — usually 4–8 hours for a two-person crew. Larger homes or bundled systems may run two days.
No. The app, all scheduling features, and all color programming are included at no ongoing cost. No hub subscription, no monthly cloud fee, and no Wi-Fi dependency. The system works even during internet outages.
Contractor markup on materials typically runs 30–50% above distributor cost. Because Brighter Nights is only available through certified installers, your quote includes product, installation, and warranty in one line item.
