Permanent Outdoor Lighting in Katy, TX
Permanent outdoor lighting for Katy, TX homes — Christmas colors in December, warm white every other night, app-controlled roofline LEDs installed in 1–2 days from $28 per foot.

UES Solutions installs permanent outdoor LED roofline lighting across Katy, TX from $28 per linear foot — about $4,200 for a typical two-story front. The color-matched track is nearly invisible by day and controlled from your phone at night: holiday colors, game-day colors, or warm white year-round. Installed in 1–2 days with a 1-Year Workmanship Warranty.
Katy is mostly newer master-planned homes — big two-story builds, three-car garages, and HOAs that care how your house looks from the street. Long rooflines and HOA-conscious streets make permanent roofline lighting a natural fit — one install covers Christmas, game days, and everyday security lighting.
Every November, Katy homeowners face the same choice: climb the ladder, pay someone to climb it, or skip it this year. Permanent outdoor lighting ends that cycle. A low-profile aluminum track color-matched to your fascia runs along the roofline, gables, and peaks with individually addressable LEDs inside. From the street it disappears during the day. At night it’s whatever you want it to be — red and green for Christmas, orange for Halloween, Texans or Aggie colors on game day, and a soft warm white the other 300 nights that makes the house look finished.
We serve Katy, including Cinco Ranch, Cross Creek Ranch, Elyson, Cane Island, and nearby Fulshear, Brookshire, and the Grand Parkway corridor. We install the track, controller, and power, connect it to your Wi-Fi, load your first scenes on your phone, and set a dusk-to-dawn schedule so the house lights itself. Most homes are done in a day; larger ones in two. From $28 per linear foot, installed.
Three ways Katy homeowners use permanent outdoor lighting
Holiday Lighting, Permanently
Every Christmas, Halloween, Fourth of July, and Valentine’s Day, on schedule, without a ladder or a bill.
Everyday Curb Appeal
Warm or cool white along the roofline every night — the look of professional architectural lighting, with security lighting built in.
Game Day & Celebrations
Team colors, birthday colors, graduation colors — change it in under a minute from the couch.
The lights
Commercial-grade lights built for Texas weather
We install a permanent LED track system engineered for outdoor use: aluminum channel, sealed LED modules rated for rain and heat, and a controller that runs from your phone. When you’re ready to choose colors, we’ll show you the exact system, its color options, and its manufacturer warranty at your design visit.
Our crew mounting the color-matched channel under the eaveWhat’s included
- Design Consultation & MeasurementWe walk the property, measure every roofline you want lit, and show you where the track sits and how it disappears by day.
- Color-Matched Aluminum TrackLow-profile channel matched to your fascia or soffit color so it blends in when the lights are off.
- Individually Addressable LEDsEvery bulb can be its own color, so you get true patterns and animations, not just one color at a time.
- Controller & Power SupplyMounted discreetly (garage, attic, or soffit), hardwired or plugged into a GFCI, and weatherproofed for Texas storms.
- Gables, Peaks & Second StoriesFull coverage of dormers, gables, and upper rooflines, not just the easy first-story run.

Frequently asked questions
Do you offer permanent outdoor lighting in Katy?
Yes. UES Solutions works throughout Katy, including Cinco Ranch, Cross Creek Ranch, Elyson, Cane Island, Grand Lakes, Seven Meadows, Firethorne, and Old Towne Katy, plus Fulshear, Brookshire, and the Grand Parkway corridor. Estimates are free and written, usually within 24 hours.
Do I need HOA approval for permanent outdoor lighting in Katy?
Many Katy HOAs and historic districts review exterior changes. We provide the product details, colors, and written scope you need for the submission, and we can wait to schedule until you are approved.
How much does permanent outdoor lighting cost?
Our permanent LED roofline lighting starts at $28 per linear foot, installed. A one-story front elevation typically runs $2,800–$3,900, a two-story front $4,200–$5,600, and a full two-story perimeter $8,400–$11,200. The price includes color-matched track, LEDs, controller, power supply, app setup, and a walkthrough. Your written quote is free.
How long does installation take?
One to two days. A single-story or two-story front elevation is usually done in one day; full perimeters, multiple gables, and larger homes take two.
Can you see the lights during the day?
Barely. The track is a low-profile aluminum channel color-matched to your fascia or soffit, and the LEDs sit inside it. From the street, most people can’t tell a home has permanent lighting until it’s turned on.
Is this the same as Trimlight, Jellyfish, or Gemstone lighting?
It’s the same category of product — permanent, app-controlled, color-changing LED track under the eave. We install a commercial-grade system of that type and back it with our 1-Year Workmanship Warranty plus the manufacturer’s warranty. We’re happy to walk you through how our system compares at the design visit.
Are permanent lights worth it compared to seasonal Christmas light installation?
If you plan to stay in your home three years or more, usually yes. Seasonal professional installs run roughly $800–$2,000 every year; a permanent system is a one-time cost of a few thousand dollars, and you use it 365 nights a year — holidays, game days, birthdays, security lighting, and everyday accent. If you’re moving soon or only want lights six weeks a year, seasonal is the better fit and we do that too.
Can I do more than Christmas colors?
Yes. The system is individually addressable, so you can run warm or cool white for everyday curb appeal, team colors for game day, red-white-and-blue for the Fourth, orange and purple for Halloween, or a soft accent pattern any night — all from the app, with schedules so it runs itself.
How much electricity do they use?
Very little. LEDs draw a fraction of what old incandescent strings did — a typical two-story installation running dusk to dawn costs a few dollars a month at Texas electricity rates.
Will they hold up to Houston heat, humidity, and storms?
Yes. The track is aluminum and the LED modules are sealed and rated for outdoor use; the controller and power supply mount out of the weather. We seal every connection and route wiring so nothing sits where water collects.
Do I need HOA approval?
Usually not for the installation itself — the track is color-matched and low-profile, which is why HOAs tend to prefer it over seasonal clips and cords. Some communities have guidelines on how long non-holiday colors can run; a warm-white everyday setting is welcome everywhere. We’ll help with any submission your HOA requires.
Is the installation under warranty?
Yes. Every installation carries the UES Solutions 1-Year Workmanship Warranty on the mounting, wiring, and weatherproofing we perform, in addition to the manufacturer’s warranty on the lights and controller.
Do you still install seasonal Christmas lights?
No. We’ve moved to permanent roofline lighting only. A permanent system gives you Christmas, holiday, and game-day colors from an app every year, with no ladders, no storage, and no yearly install and takedown bill.
Can you light the back of the house, the pool area, or a detached garage?
Yes. Anything with a roofline or a straight edge can carry track — back patios, pool cabanas, detached garages, and fence lines. Each is measured and priced at $28 per linear foot, and can run on the same controller as the front of the house.
