A note on the numbers

This isn't a cost. It's an investment.

The figures on this page are real and we don't hide them — that's how AE operates. But we want to be honest about how to read them. Your Phoenix permanent Christmas lights isn't a line-item expense; it's an investment in your home's value, your family's daily experience, and a space you'll use for the next twenty to thirty years.

When you compare bids, compare what you're investing in — the spec, the crews, the warranty, the company that will still be standing in year ten — not just the price tag. The lowest bid is almost always the most expensive build over time.

Phoenix Metro

Permanent Christmas Lights year-round, app-controlled.

App-controlled permanent Christmas and holiday lighting across the entire Phoenix metro — installed on color-matched aluminum track so it reads clean during the day, custom at night. Christmas, Halloween, Fourth of July, birthdays, everyday warm-white accent. Installed once, controlled from your phone.

The honest version: The right permanent-lighting install is clean during the day. We spec color-matched aluminum track to your trim — bronze, black, cream, or grey — and we route power cleanly under eaves, not down the front of the house. If it doesn't pass the daytime look test, we don't install it.

FAQ

Common questions.

Most Phoenix homes land $3,500–$8,500 installed for app-controlled permanent 12V DC RGBW WS2812b trim lighting. Single-story homes with clean fascia lines run at the low end; two-story homes with complex rooflines, gables, and tree wraps run higher. Line-item pricing by linear foot and zone count on every proposal.

Ours don't. The AE LEDs track sits under a matte channel color-matched to your fascia — bronze, black, cream, or grey — so during the day it reads as a clean trim line, not a strip of light bulbs. This is the single biggest concern homeowners raise on the walk, and it's why we spec matte channel by default.

Yes. Every AE LEDs install includes app control — schedules, colors, zones, holiday presets, and approximately 180 presets. AP (access-point) and Station connectivity modes are supported so the system can operate on your Wi-Fi or independently. Alexa and Google Home compatible.

Most Phoenix HOAs approve permanent trim lighting when it's installed on a matte fascia channel. AE handles the HOA submission — architectural forms, photos, and manufacturer specs — as part of the install. See our HOA approval guide for the exact process by community type.

System life depends on component quality, installation, electrical design, environmental exposure, operating schedule, and maintenance. Manufacturer literature may rate eligible LED modules for up to approximately 50,000 operating hours under qualifying conditions — this is a manufacturer product rating, not a guaranteed service life. AE provides a two-year installation-workmanship warranty on AE LEDs permanent trim lighting. Landscape lighting installs carry a one-year workmanship warranty. Eligible LED modules include a five-year product warranty, subject to the signed agreement and manufacturer terms. Controllers, power supplies, and other components carry separate coverage where applicable.

That's the point. App presets cover every holiday (red/green for Christmas, orange/purple Halloween, red/white/blue Fourth of July, pink February) plus a dedicated 3000K soft-white channel for architectural down-lighting all year. Most homeowners run them nightly as accent lighting.

Yes. Two-story installs run higher because of the linear footage and lift-time — typically $5,500–$9,500 depending on gables, tree wraps, and column details. AE provides a two-year installation-workmanship warranty on AE LEDs permanent trim lighting. Landscape lighting installs carry a one-year workmanship warranty. Eligible LED modules include a five-year product warranty, subject to the signed agreement and manufacturer terms. Controllers, power supplies, and other components carry separate coverage where applicable.
