The everyday look most people install for

Most of the year, our customers don't run colors at all. They run warm white — a soft, even wash under the eaves that shows off the shape of the home and makes it look like a custom build at night.

Traditional soffit lighting means recessed pot lights, cutting holes and pulling wire through the attic. Minleon lights mount in a slim, color-matched channel under the roofline instead, with one power connection.

Pick the warmth you like (2700K candle-warm to 3000K crisp), set it to follow sunset, and it runs every night automatically — then switches to holiday colors when you want.

Everyday architectural lighting

Most nights, most clients run warm white. It highlights stone, stucco, columns and rooflines the way an architect would, makes the house look cared-for, and adds curb appeal. You can pick the exact tone — from candlelight amber to a crisp neutral white — and dim it for a subtle look.

Because the lights run on a sunset schedule, the house is lit every evening without anyone remembering to flip a switch.

Curb appeal and resale

Thoughtful exterior lighting is one of the simplest ways to make a home look high-end at night. A soft wash of warm white under the eaves shows off architecture, makes entries welcoming and helps homes stand out in evening listing photos. Because the channel is trim-matched and mostly hidden, the house looks just as clean during the day.

Most clients settle on a warm white around 2,700–3,000K for everyday use, slightly dimmed, and save a brighter version for when guests arrive.

Why warm white is the most-used scene

Holidays get the attention, but warm white is what most homes run most nights. A soft 2700K to 3000K glow under the eaves shows off the shape of the house, makes it feel welcoming and helps with safety, without looking like decorations.

We'll help you pick the right color temperature for your home. Warmer tones suit brick, stone and wood. Slightly cooler warm white suits modern, white or gray homes.

Set it and forget it

Most families set warm white to come on at sunset and turn off around midnight, or dim to a low level overnight. The app adjusts the timing as sunset changes through the year, so you never need to touch it.

Adding value to your home

Good exterior lighting makes a home look cared for at night, and it photographs well for listing photos if you ever sell. Because the channel is color-matched and hidden under the roofline, it doesn't look like holiday lights left up all year.

Common questions

Do you cut holes in my soffits?

No. The lights mount in a slim channel under the eaves — no recessed cans and no attic work.

Can I pick the exact warmth?

Yes. Choose anything from candle-warm 2400K to crisp 3000K and adjust brightness in the app.

How much does it cost to run every night?

Very little — LEDs use a fraction of the power of old bulbs. They're rated for 100,000 hours.

Can it still do Christmas colors?

Yes. The same system runs every holiday and color scene.
