Permanent lighting in Monticello
Year-round roofline lighting, designed for Monticello homes
Permanent lighting in Monticello appeals to two kinds of homeowners: owners of the larger north-side and estate homes who want to stop paying for a big seasonal install every year, and owners of historic homes who want a subtle permanent warm white that highlights the architecture every evening without a visible fixture.
We color-match the track to historic trim colors, tuck it behind deep eaves, and back every system with our five-year warranty.
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 Monticello 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 Monticello.
Local knowledge
We know Monticello's homes
On Monticello's Victorians we hide the track behind the eave crown so it is invisible from the street, and most owners run warm white at low brightness nightly. Newer north-side two-stories get track along the front rooflines and garage. Monticello Sages families keep a purple and gold scene ready, and Illini orange and blue is a Saturday favorite. Estate homes toward Allerton Park often track outbuildings and gate pillars too.
Weather note for Monticello: Monticello's historic homes have steep, ornate rooflines and the wooded lots toward Allerton Park collect ice from overhanging limbs. We use gutter and shingle clips sized for older trim and route lines clear of drip points.

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!
