Permanent lighting
What are permanent Christmas lights?
Permanent Christmas lights — also called permanent holiday lights or year-round outdoor lighting — are a one-time, app-controlled LED system installed along your roofline and tucked into a low-profile polymer channel. By day it's nearly invisible; by night it's warm white, full-color holiday scenes, July 4 patriotic, or game-day colors, all from your phone. No annual install, no takedown, no boxes in the garage. Arlington runs from dense townhomes in Clarendon and Ballston to larger single-family homes in North Arlington — and Light DMV installs across all of it, including Lyon Village, Cherrydale, Donaldson Run, and Country Club Hills.

How it works
Individually addressable RGBW — hidden by day
The channel
A slim polymer channel tucks under your eave — screwed into the soffit, or bonded to a metal gutter with a very durable 3M double-sided metal tape — color-matched to your trim — a clean single run on an Arlington townhome, a full perimeter on a single-family home. Barely visible by day, no roof penetration.
The control
Each LED is individually addressable RGBW: any color, any pattern, scheduled from the app. Runs on standard 110V exterior power, with power injection on longer North Arlington rooflines.
App & scenes
Every holiday, game day, and everyday warm white
Control colors, run presets (Christmas, Halloween, July 4, birthdays, team colors), schedule sunset-to-midnight, dim, and sync to music — all from iOS or Android, plus Alexa and Google Home. Set it once and your Arlington home celebrates on its own. This app-controlled permanent lights Arlington setup turns your roofline into a year-round feature instead of a six-week display.
DIY vs. professional
Govee and DIY kits vs. a professional permanent system
A Govee or peel-and-stick DIY kit is fine for a quick, low-cost string you put up yourself — it's a different category from a professionally installed architectural system. DIY kits mount with adhesive or clips that commonly sag, space unevenly, and let go in DMV freeze-thaw — and you're the installer, the ladder crew, and the warranty. A Light DMV system uses a color-matched polymer channel fastened to your trim, commercial-grade color-stable LEDs, professional design and install, and a lifetime workmanship warranty — a clean line that looks right on a tight Arlington street.

Why Arlington chooses Light DMV
Arlington is the most mixed market we light — a Clarendon townhome and a Country Club Hills single-family home need completely different approaches. On a townhome it's a clean single run finished right at the property line; in North Arlington it's a full multi-story perimeter. We design each one around the architecture, never off a template, so the line looks right whether your neighbors are ten feet away or across a big front yard.
