Upgrade an existing seasonal lighting setup
Turn seasonal lighting into a permanent, serviceable system.
For properties and installers replacing traditional temporary Christmas lights with permanent lighting while reusing suitable site conditions and installation knowledge.
Who this solution is for
A clear starting point for your project.
Best for properties and lighting contractors replacing temporary holiday lights or an aging exterior-lighting setup.
What you receive
A project-ready package, not disconnected parts.
The exact specification is confirmed around your site, operating needs, installation method, and approved sample.
Existing-system and site-condition review
Recommendation on what can stay and what should change
Permanent retrofit bill of materials
Controller, power, and connection plan
Conversion guide and spare-parts list
Clear responsibilities
We define the system. You provide the project context.
- Clear photos and measurements of current runs
- Existing bulb, wire, controller, and power information
- Known failures or installation pain points
- On-site verification by a qualified installer
Typical configuration
Example: converting a 200 ft seasonal roofline
A typical conversion may replace temporary strings with permanent track and RGBW modules, add 2 control zones, update the power package, and retain only site infrastructure confirmed to be suitable.
Reuse decisions and pricing depend on the existing system condition, compatibility, local requirements, and the permanent-use specification.Designed around the installation—not a disconnected product list.
An upgrade project starts with what is already in place: roofline coverage, power access, mounting surfaces, control expectations, and the look customers already value. We audit those conditions, identify what can remain, and configure a permanent system that is easier to operate and service year after year.
A practical retrofit path
Compare existing runs and infrastructure with permanent pixel or C7/C9 system requirements.
Keep the familiar look
Choose a discreet pixel track or preserve a classic bulb profile with a permanent C7/C9 approach.
Reduce annual labor
Replace repeated installation and removal with a documented, year-round system.
Plan future service
Standardize compatible replacements, connectors, controls, and spare stock.
Included in the conversation
A complete system scope.
Final components and electrical characteristics are confirmed against the application, installation environment, local requirements, and approved sample.

How to start
A clear path from idea to approved system.
Document the current system
Share photos, run lengths, lamp format, wiring, power access, mounting method, and recurring problems.
Choose the upgrade route
Compare permanent pixel track, C7/C9 retrofit, controls, and the parts that should be replaced or retained.
Validate and convert
Approve a sample section and bill of materials before converting the full property or customer program.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the existing Christmas lights be reused?
Some infrastructure may be reusable, but lights, wiring, mounting, control, and power must be evaluated for permanent outdoor use and compatibility before approval.
Can I keep the traditional C7 or C9 appearance?
Yes. A bulb-based permanent system can retain the familiar profile, while a pixel-track system provides a more discreet daytime appearance and finer control.
What do you need for an upgrade recommendation?
Photos, approximate run lengths, existing lamp and wire details, power locations, mounting conditions, control preferences, and the problems you want the upgrade to solve.
