Determining Your Cost of Permanent Holiday Lighting

At Aurora Lights, we understand that one of the most common questions in the permanent lighting industry is, "How much does permanent holiday lighting cost?" We're here to provide you with transparent pricing details.

Our Pricing Structure:

  • We charge between $20 and $26 per linear foot for our lighting installation services.

  • Additionally, we offer a premium controller priced at $400.

Factors Influencing Your Cost:

  • Our busiest period is during the holiday season. However, for those considering lighting installation during other times of the year, we offer more budget-friendly rates.

  • We do not charge extra for installations on typical two-story structures or lower. However, each project is unique and custom, potentially requiring varying materials and labor, which can affect the final cost.


  • The size and location of your home are not the primary cost determinants. Instead, the most critical factor is the length of the roofline. Whether your house has multiple rooflines or a simple, single roofline significantly influences material and labor requirements. To get a rough measurement, you can use tools like Google Maps.

Additional Considerations:

  • For homes exceeding two stories, specialized equipment like ladders or boom lifts may be necessary, incurring extra costs.

  • Achieving a seamless look often involves running wires through walls, attics, and underneath structures.

  • The presence of obstacles in the soffits can increase labor requirements.
