If you’re wondering whether permanent outdoor lighting is worth the investment, you’re not alone. It’s one of the most common questions we hear from homeowners across Sacramento, Folsom, Davis, Roseville, and Placerville.

The answer? Absolutely—yes.

With Happy Lites’ custom color-changing LED lighting systems, you’re not just getting festive curb appeal during the holidays—you’re getting year-round convenience, safety, savings, and style that transforms how you enjoy your home.

Skip the Seasonal Hassles

Let’s face it—temporary lights are a hassle. Every year, it's the same routine:

Digging through dusty boxes
Untangling wires and replacing burnt-out bulbs
Balancing on ladders
Taking everything down after just a few weeks

With permanent LED lights professionally installed by Happy Lites, you never have to deal with seasonal lighting again. You’ll have a sleek, smart system that’s:

Mounted discreetly to your roofline and/or landscape
Controlled by your smartphone
Programmable for every holiday, event, or mood
Virtually invisible during the day—brilliant by night

Celebrate Every Day, Not Just December

Permanent outdoor lighting isn't just about Christmas—it's about celebrating everyday life with ease.

In the Sacramento Region and surrounding areas, families are lighting up their homes in:

Team colors on game day
Red, white, and blue for the 4th of July
Warm white for summer BBQs and backyard parties
Pink for Valentine’s Day or birthdays
Orange and purple for Halloween

The best part? You can schedule, change, and automate your lighting themes in seconds—no tools or time wasted.

Aesthetic & Functional Value

Beyond the fun, Happy Lites adds serious value to your home:

Curb appeal: Your home looks elegant and well-lit every night

One-time installation
Year-round utility
Low maintenance
Custom control and color
A beautiful, reliable lighting system you’ll use every week—not just every December
