BeforeAfterFrequently asked
Is the channel really invisible during the day?+
Yes. We powder-coat the Minleon aluminum channel to match your fascia or trim color before install. From the street it reads as a clean shadow line, not a light fixture.
How long does the install actually take?+
Most single-family Sacramento homes are completed in one day. Multi-story or wrap-around designs may take a second day, your quote will spell it out.
What's the maintenance like?+
Almost none. The LEDs are sealed and rated for 100,000 hours — the longest lifespan in the industry. If a pixel ever fails, your 5-year parts warranty covers the diode, and labor is covered for the first year.
Does the $2,999 starting price include the app and controller?+
Yes, the controller, in-wall power supply, mobile app, every pre-loaded holiday scene, and the first year of firmware updates are all included.
Is financing available?+
Yes. Our Consumer Credit Center offers 100% financing with no money down, flexible easy payment options, and no early payment penalty, plus 0% APR promotional plans for qualified buyers. Applying takes minutes and starts with a soft credit pre-approval that doesn't impact your score.
Can I still get traditional Christmas lights with this?+
You won't need to, the system handles every holiday. But if you want layered displays (e.g. wrapped trees in addition), our holiday crew can add to it each November.
Sacramento homeowners installed once, lit for life.
"Christmas, Valentine's, St. Patrick's, July 4th, Halloween, we've used it for everything. Best home upgrade we've ever made."
"I had to point the channel out to my brother and he still couldn't see it. Looks like trim. At night, it's a different house."
"Kids fight over picking the scene every night. Astronomical timer means we never think about it, sunset on, midnight off."
"One pixel went dark after year two. They had it fixed in 40 minutes under the 5-year parts warranty. Exactly what was promised."
"Our HOA wouldn't allow seasonal strands. The hidden channel passed approval on the first review. Game changer."
"No money down and a low monthly payment put it in our budget. We're saving the $1,500 we used to spend on installer fees every year."
