Frequently Asked Questions

What are permanent holiday lights?

Permanent holiday lights are a smart, low-maintenance lighting system that stays on your home all year. We install them once, and you control them from an app. They blend into your roofline during the day and glow in any colour you choose at night, with no ladders, tangled strings or yearly set-up.

What are the advantages of permanent holiday lights?

There is no seasonal install or takedown, the LEDs use far less power than traditional bulbs, and the system is built for tough weather. You can change colours, patterns and brightness whenever you like. A schedule can also make the house look lived-in when you are away, and the lights boost your curb appeal in every season.

Are permanent Christmas lights worth it?

For most homeowners, yes. They save time every year, remove the seasonal hassle and improve how your home looks and works day to day. Smart controls, energy-efficient LEDs and professional installation make it a modern, low-effort way to light your home.

What are the disadvantages of permanent holiday lights?

The upfront cost is higher than a temporary display. Celebright estimates that skipping the yearly cost of paid installation and takedown means the system typically pays for itself within about three years. Some people also need a little time to get comfortable with the app, but most find it simple once the system is running.

Do permanent Christmas lights increase home value?

They can. Permanent lights improve curb appeal and exterior visibility, and they add a smart, modern feature that many buyers like. A professionally installed system also saves the next owner the work of putting up lights each year. How much it adds depends on your market.

Why are Celebright lights the best permanent Christmas lights?

Celebright designs and builds its own lights, control boxes, tracks and app instead of piecing together third-party parts, which gives it tighter control over quality and reliability. The compact 20mm frosted bulbs are bright and efficient, and the 24V system uses very little power. As a Celebright Platinum Partner, Five Star offers expert installation and priority support.

How much does permanent holiday lighting cost?

The biggest factor is how many linear feet of lighting your home needs, and every house has its own challenges, so there is no flat price. Estimates are free, and we can often take the measurements we need from satellite imagery, so you can usually get a quote quickly.

How long does installation take?

Most installations are finished in a single day, depending on the size and complexity of your home.

Where does Five Star provide permanent lighting installation?

We serve Edmonton, Calgary, Airdrie, Cochrane, Chestermere, Red Deer, Strathcona County and Kitchener, with franchise locations in communities across Canada. Contact us to confirm service in your area.

How are permanent holiday lights installed?

Your installer mounts a small control box, usually in the garage, then fits low-profile light tracks along the soffits. The compact bulbs sit snugly against the roofline, so they stay discreet during the day. Small connecting wires between roof sections are tucked away out of sight. Last, your installer walks you through the app so you can start using it right away.

Are Five Star installers trained to install permanent lights?

Yes. As a Celebright Platinum Partner, our installers are trained on the system and supported by Celebright from quoting through final set-up. We are also fully insured and follow strict safety standards on every job.

How many colours are available?

Each RGBW light can produce about 16 million colours, and the lights can be combined into billions of colour combinations and patterns.

Can I set my lights to a schedule?

Yes. Set the lights to turn on and off at chosen times and dates, or have them follow your local sunrise and sunset as the seasons change. For example, you can program a Halloween scene to run every year on October 31. Once it is set, the lights run on their own.

How are the lights controlled?

With the free Celebright Cloud app on iPhone or Android, or from any web browser through the web portal.

Are the lights certified?

Yes. Celebright products are ETL listed and meet UL 2108 and CSA C22.2 No. 250.2, so they are certified for use anywhere in Canada and the United States.

What is the life expectancy of the bulbs?

Each bulb is rated for about 50,000 hours of use. At 6 to 8 hours a day, that is almost 20 years.

Can the bulbs be replaced?

Yes. Replacement bulbs can be purchased through Celebright and installed by our team or by you.

Do I need to be home to control my lights?

No. The system is cloud-connected, so you can control it from anywhere in the world as long as you have internet access and your system is online.

Do the lights work with smart home services?

Yes. Celebright integrates with Google Home, Amazon Alexa and IFTTT.

How long do permanent Christmas lights last?

The bulbs are rated for 50,000 hours, so you can expect years of use without replacing a single one. They run cool and use energy efficiently, so the electronics see less wear. Everything is sealed against the elements, the aluminum track protects against UV exposure, and the bulb covers are UV-rated to resist yellowing and cracking.

Why is the aluminum track important?

The track is a big part of what sets a professional system apart from cheaper store-bought lights. It hides the wiring for a clean look that blends into your home, and it protects the lights from weather, sun and physical damage, which helps the whole system last longer.

How reliable are permanent holiday lights?

Reliability is built into every part. The lights are low-voltage and efficient, so they stay cool and are less likely to fail electronically. Every connection is waterproof and the components are sealed to prevent corrosion, even in harsh weather.

How do permanent holiday lights work?

When you choose colours or set a schedule in the app, the command goes to a secure cloud server and then to the control box at your home. The control box tells each light what to do. Every bulb can be controlled individually, so you can create patterns, sequences and custom displays with a few taps.

What makes Celebright lights unique?

Celebright builds the app, control box and tracks in-house for this exact purpose, which leads to better reliability, compatibility and consistent quality. The small 20mm bulbs deliver bright, vibrant colour while using less energy, and the whole system is designed with efficiency in mind.

My internet changed and my system is offline. How do I reconnect it?

Is there a user guide?

Yes. Download the Celebright Quickstart Guide (PDF) for a walkthrough of the system and app.

Is there a mobile app?

Yes. The Celebright Cloud app is available for Apple iOS and Android.
