Permanent Architectural LED Lighting for Maryland Homes & Businesses

Why Permanent?
Why Homeowners Choose Permanent Lighting
Traditional holiday lights mean hauling boxes from storage, climbing ladders in the cold, and untangling strings every November. Permanent LED lighting ends all of that.
E.L.F. Designs installs commercial-grade permanent fixtures along your roofline and architectural features. From your phone, you choose any color, set schedules, and activate holiday presets — Christmas red and green, Halloween orange, Fourth of July red-white-blue, or your favorite team's colors.
- No seasonal installation or removal
- Unlimited color changes from your phone
- Works for every holiday and occasion
- Professional installation with warranty
What's Included
What's Included
Permanent LED systems are engineered for year-round performance — built tough, built smart, built to impress.
App-Controlled Colors
Change your home's color from your phone in seconds. Set schedules, activate holiday presets, or pick any color in the spectrum — Christmas red, Halloween orange, team colors, and more.
16 Million Color Options
Our RGB LED systems offer virtually unlimited color combinations. Every holiday, every occasion, every mood — your home can match it all without touching a single fixture.
Always-On, Year-Round
Permanent lights stay installed through every season. No ladders in November, no storage in January. They're there when you want them and invisible when you don't.
Commercial-Grade Durability
Our fixtures are rated for year-round outdoor exposure — UV-resistant, waterproof, and built to handle Maryland winters and summers without fading or failing.
Energy-Efficient LED
LED technology uses a fraction of the power of traditional holiday lights. Your permanent system costs less to run than a string of old incandescent bulbs.
Discreet When Off
When your lights are off, the fixtures are nearly invisible. Small, low-profile mounts blend into your roofline so your home looks clean and uncluttered during the day.

Got Questions?
Frequently Asked Questions
How is permanent lighting different from seasonal holiday lights?
Permanent lights are installed once and stay on your home year-round. Instead of putting up and taking down lights every season, you control everything from an app — changing colors for any holiday or occasion in seconds.
Will the fixtures damage my roofline or gutters?
No. Our mounting systems are designed to attach cleanly without drilling into your roof or gutters. We use non-invasive clips and channels that hold securely without causing damage.
What app do you use to control the lights?
We install systems that use a dedicated smartphone app (iOS and Android). During your installation, we set everything up and walk you through how to use it — colors, schedules, holiday presets, and brightness controls.
How long does installation take?
Most residential installations are completed in a single day. Larger homes or commercial properties may take longer. We'll give you a clear timeline during your free estimate.
Do permanent lights work in Maryland winters?
Yes. Our fixtures are rated for extreme temperatures, moisture, and UV exposure. They're designed to perform reliably through Maryland's full range of weather — hot summers, cold winters, and everything in between.
Is there a warranty on the installation?
Yes. OMNI systems offer manufacturer warranty coverage up to a Limited Lifetime Warranty, depending on the system and components. E.L.F. Designs also offers an optional maintenance plan at $1 per foot of installed lighting that provides five years of coverage under the plan's terms. Ask us for complete warranty and maintenance-plan details.
