Permanent Outdoor Lighting Cost in Arizona
Permanent outdoor lighting is priced by linear footage, complexity, and what's behind the wall. Most AE LEDs installs scale by linear footage, roofline complexity, story count, zones, and controller/power needs. Larger homes, multi-story rooflines, accent zones, and landscape integration scale up from there.
Below is what actually drives the number — so you can plan a realistic budget before getting a quote.
What affects cost
Every install is custom-measured. These are the variables we estimate against:
- Linear footage of trim and accent zones
- Roofline complexity (gables, peaks, multi-story facades, eyebrows)
- Single-story vs. two-story access and equipment needs
- Controller, transformer, and zone count
- Power tie-in location and electrical scope
- Accent zones — columns, soffits, landscape, pool area
- Surface type — fascia, stucco, stone, wood
Typical AE LEDs ranges
These are ballpark ranges based on real AE installs. Final numbers depend on your specific home.
- Single-story planning ranges available in the cost guide and estimator
- Larger / two-story home: $5,500–$8,500+
- Custom and estate homes with accent zones: $9,000–$15,000+
- Landscape lighting (add-on or standalone): scoped separately
What's included in every install
AE doesn't sub out the wiring, the channel, or the app setup.
- Custom site measurement and design
- Powder-coated aluminum channel fabricated to your roofline
- Weather-rated LED modules with color and dedicated white control (specifications vary by selected product)
- Controller, transformer, and concealed power tie-in
- App programming and homeowner walkthrough
- Warranty and service from one accountable team
Cost compared to recurring holiday lights
Most Arizona homeowners hiring seasonal Christmas lights pay $1,000–$1,500 per year. A permanent AE LEDs install typically breaks even in 3–4.5 years and replaces every seasonal install after that.

Yes — controller, app setup, and your initial scene programming are part of the install.
What about financing?+
AE offers financing options on outdoor living investments — ask during your quote conversation.
Are there ongoing fees?+
No subscription. The app and system are yours after install.
Can I add landscape lighting later?+
Yes. We can scope landscape and accent lighting alongside the trim install or as a phased add-on.
