Permanent lighting in Champaign
Year-round roofline lighting, designed for Champaign homes
Champaign homeowners were among the first in Central Illinois to go permanent, and the subdivisions in the southwest part of town now have a permanent roofline on nearly every block. It makes sense here: this is an Illini town, and a home that can go orange and blue on a Saturday morning in October, warm white for Thanksgiving guests, red and green for Christmas and a soft accent glow the rest of the year earns its keep twelve months a year.
Our crews install, program and service every system from our Champaign base, so warranty calls and app questions are handled by people ten minutes away, not a call center.
You may have seen it called permanent outdoor lighting, roofline lights, eave lights or smart outdoor lights; it's the same app-controlled system. We are a licensed installer of Orca Smart Lighting, the best permanent lights in Central Illinois, and every Champaign system is backed by our 5-year warranty and serviced by the same local crew that installed it. Prefer a classic seasonal display with big C9 bulbs, wrapped trees and garland? See Christmas light installation in Champaign.
Local knowledge
We know Champaign's homes
Permanent lighting is especially popular on the large two-stories in Cherry Hills, Ironwood and Legends, where the long rooflines and multiple peaks would otherwise mean a sizable seasonal install every year. We color-match the track to the dark bronze, tan and white fascia common in those neighborhoods. On the brick and stone homes near the country club, warm white at low brightness gives a permanent architectural glow that most homeowners leave on every evening. HOAs in these subdivisions have been consistently receptive because the track is invisible by day.
Weather note for Champaign: Champaign's open prairie exposure means December winds come straight across the fields from the west. We clip every line at tight intervals and anchor corners so a 40 mph gust in Ironwood or Cherry Hills doesn't lift a strand.

Our lights were amazing. Lights were done quickly and efficiently. When the season was over he was back to take them down just when he said he would. We have had him put our lights up for several years and will continue to! Highly recommended.

We just had our lights installed by Midwest Holiday Lighting on Thanksgiving day. We just called them and let them know we would like them to do our light install and they worked us in quickly. They were very friendly, knowledgeable, courteous, and patient. We love the holiday lighting they installed on our house and will use them for years to come. They provided all the materials, completed the install quickly, and will store the lights for us during the off season. I added the wreath last minute and they had all the supplies to install it. We could not be happier with Tom and his crew and the job they did installing our lights. Thank You Midwest Holiday Lighting for making our holidays feel more merry and our home look brighter! Enjoy!
