Permanent lighting in Urbana
Year-round roofline lighting, designed for Urbana homes
Permanent lighting in Urbana splits neatly into two groups. In Stone Creek and Beringer Commons, homeowners want the full year-round package: Illini orange and blue on game days, red and green in December, a warm white accent glow every other night. In the historic neighborhoods, owners want something subtler, a permanent warm white line under the eave that highlights the architecture without changing how the house looks by day.
Both are the same system with different programming, and we install, color-match and service all of it from our Champaign base ten minutes away.
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 Urbana 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 Urbana.
Local knowledge
We know Urbana's homes
On Stone Creek's two-stories we usually run track along every front-facing roofline and the garage, color-matched to the tan and bronze fascia common there. On the historic homes around Carle Park we tuck the track behind the crown of deep Craftsman and Prairie eaves, where it is completely invisible from the sidewalk, and most of those homeowners run warm white at 30 to 40 percent every evening. Urbana's University-connected residents also love the holiday scenes: Diwali oranges and golds, Hanukkah blue and white, and Lunar New Year red are all one tap.
Weather note for Urbana: Urbana's mature tree canopy, especially around Carle Park and East Urbana, means falling branches and ice from overhanging limbs are a real December hazard. We route lines to avoid drip points and check them after every ice event.

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!
