OnOffWhy Permanent Beats a Ladder Every November
Built for Kootenay winters
Sealed, weatherproof channel and diodes rated for snow load, ice and wind, tucked under the soffit where they take the least weather.
Invisible by day
Track is colour-matched to your fascia. Most neighbours won't notice until dusk.
Every occasion, one install
Warm white on Tuesday, red and green in December, red and white on July 1st, team colours for the game.
Control from anywhere
Schedules, timers, dimming and colour scenes from the app, whether you're home or at the cabin.
Efficient to run
LED diodes sip power. A full roofline typically costs less per month than a single porch bulb used to.
Installed and backed locally
Grit & Grind installs, services and warranties the system in the Kootenays. No 1-800 number.

Our 24V Pro Series vs. Standard 12V Lights
Most permanent lighting runs on standard 12V bulbs. We install 24V Pro Series: brighter, wider and built to last. Here's the difference you're paying for.
| Grit & Grind 24V Pro Series | Standard 12V | |
|---|---|---|
| Warranty | Lifetime on bulbs | About 5 years |
| Lifespan | 100,000+ hours | About half that |
| Beam angle | 140°, wide and even | 100°, narrower |
| Brightness | Brighter output | Dimmer |
| Long rooflines | Even brightness end to end | Can dim toward the end of a run |
| Service | Local Nelson crew | Often a 1-800 number |
Comparison against typical 12V permanent lighting systems. Ask us to show you both side by side at your walkthrough.

Permanent Christmas Lights in Nelson & the West Kootenays
Every November the same ritual plays out across the Kootenays: ladders on icy driveways, tangled strings, a dead section you only find once everything's up. Permanent Christmas lights end all of that. We install them once, and from then on your holiday lights are a tap away in the app, every year, without anyone climbing a roof.
Because every pixel is individually controlled, the same system does your Christmas display in December, warm white architectural lighting the rest of the year, and red and white on Canada Day. It's the reason more Nelson, Castlegar, Trail, Rossland and Kaslo homeowners are choosing permanent holiday lighting over hiring someone to hang and take down seasonal strings.
Christmas light installation, without the yearly install
Paying for Christmas light installation and removal every season adds up fast. A permanent system starts at $3,999 installed, carries a lifetime warranty on bulbs, and is serviced locally by our Nelson crew. Book your free walkthrough and we'll show you a mock-up of your home lit up before you decide.

Permanent Christmas Light Questions
How much do permanent Christmas lights cost in the Kootenays?
Permanent lighting starts at $3,999 installed. Your final price depends on the linear feet of roofline and how many zones you want, and we confirm it in writing at your free walkthrough. Financing is available.
Are permanent Christmas lights worth it?
If you hang lights every year, or pay someone to, permanent lights usually come out ahead within a few seasons. You also get year-round use: warm white architectural lighting, holidays, birthdays and game nights from the same system.
What warranty do I get?
A lifetime warranty on bulbs, plus local service from Grit & Grind. If something needs attention, you call us, not a 1-800 number.
Can I see what it will look like first?
Yes. We design a mock-up photo of your actual home with the lights on before we install anything.
Can you see the lights during the day?
Barely. The track is colour-matched to your fascia or soffit and tucked under the drip edge.
How long does installation take?
Most homes are done in a single day by our Nelson-based crew, followed by a full app demonstration.
Do they survive Kootenay snow and ice?
Yes. The system is IP67 sealed and mounted where snow slides past it, not onto it.
