What Comes With Permanent Christmas Lights in Central California?
OMNI base package
Every OMNI install includes the transformer, permanent tracked wiring, low-voltage connections, custom-fitted track, OMNI RGB app setup and the 15-year product warranty. Installation and drive time are part of the proposal, not added on later.
Color-matched aluminum track
OMNI mounts under the eave in powder-coated aluminum track matched to your trim, with the wiring enclosed inside it. Corners and peaks are fitted pieces cut on site, not loose wire bent around the edge.
Dedicated warm-white diode
Besides full RGB color, each OMNI light has a separate warm-white diode. Everyday light looks like true warm white instead of red, green and blue mixed to imitate it, so the system works as porch and facade lighting all year.
PermaLites 365 roofline
Our Kaylor-branded BlueHopper system faces outward along the roofline. Choose it when you want the lights themselves to read as a crisp holiday outline from the street. Residential and commercial brochures are available, and it is priced by proposal.
Twinkly Pro for mapped displays
As an authorized Twinkly Pro dealer, we map and program individually addressable LEDs with cloud control. We use it for commercial, municipal and venue displays where every light is choreographed, not for typical home rooflines.
Warranty and service plan
OMNI carries a 15-year product warranty plus one year of Kaylor labor. Keep an annual Kaylor service plan and lifetime product coverage is available, subject to agreement and transferable once to a new owner.

PermaLites 365 vs OMNI RGB: Which Permanent Lights Fit Your Home?
PermaLites 365 is outward-facing: the fixtures sit on the roofline and are meant to be seen, so at night you get a defined outline that reads clearly as holiday lighting from the street. OMNI RGB is concealed: it mounts under the eave in track color-matched to your trim, and the light washes down the fascia and wall instead of pointing at the viewer.
PermaLites 365 fixtures stay visible on the roofline by design, while OMNI track is hard to spot once it matches the trim. For ordinary evenings, the OMNI warm-white diode is usually the deciding feature. If you want warm white most nights and color on holidays, OMNI is the fit. If the December outline is the whole point, PermaLites 365 delivers it.
At night: PermaLites 365 is a visible outline; OMNI is a soft wash under the eave
By day: PermaLites 365 fixtures show; OMNI track blends into the trim
Everyday light: OMNI has a dedicated warm-white diode
Pricing: OMNI by measured linear footage; PermaLites 365 by proposal
Why Kaylor Doesn't Install App-Based DIY Permanent Light Kits
App-based DIY light kits are sold as permanent outdoor lighting, and some are weather-rated and come with remote support. For a confident do-it-yourselfer, that can be enough. What a kit cannot include is the installation: who fastens it to the house, how the wire turns each corner, and who comes back to the roof when a section starts to flicker.
A homeowner's gardener fastened one of these kits to the house with staples. About six months later a wire had rubbed against a staple, wind had worn through the coating, and moisture and corrosion caused flickering. The homeowner replaced it with OMNI in powder-coated aluminum track. "Pro" on the box does not mean professionally supported.

Central California
Permanent Lighting Across the Central Valley: Heat, Fog and Distance
Triple-digit summers
Valley summers bring long runs of 100-degree days and hard sun from spring into fall. Wiring enclosed in aluminum track under the eave stays out of direct UV, which is where exposed wire jackets and adhesive clips break down first.
Tule fog and winter rain
December and January fog and rain put moisture on every connection. We plan connection points and controller placement into the design, because moisture at a worn, exposed joint is exactly what makes a stapled DIY kit start to flicker.
4:45 pm December sunsets
Valley sunsets fall around 4:45 pm in early December, so holiday lights run long evenings. App schedules handle on and off times, so the house is lit when neighbors drive home without anyone flipping a switch.
One crew, Fresno to Bakersfield
From Porterville we serve Fresno, Clovis, Visalia, Tulare, Hanford, Bakersfield and towns across five counties. Drive time is built into every OMNI proposal, so a Bakersfield roofline is measured and priced the same way as a Porterville one.
How it works
How Permanent Light Installation Works in Central California
01
Consultation
We review your roofline by phone, photos or a site visit and help you choose PermaLites 365, OMNI RGB or, for commercial displays, Twinkly Pro.
02
Measured proposal

03

Pricing
How Much Do Permanent Christmas Lights Cost in Central California?
Permanent lighting is priced by the linear foot after an on-site consultation, with installation and drive time included. Footage sets most of the price; the details below set how much fitting, access and electrical work it takes. You get a written, site-specific price after the visit.
Linear footage
Footage drives most of the price. A front elevation is a short run, while a full wrap with garage, sides and rear eaves adds up quickly.
Story height and access
Second-story eaves and steep pitches need more access equipment and setup time than a single-story ranch roofline.
Corners, gables and peaks
Every inside corner, gable and peak gets custom-fitted track, which takes more labor than a straight run of fascia.
Power and controller location
The transformer and controller need a sensible home near power. A long run to an outlet, or an added circuit, changes the electrical plan.
System choice
OMNI is priced by measured linear footage. PermaLites 365 and Twinkly Pro are priced by proposal to their own scope.
Commercial scope
Lifts, after-hours installs and multi-building layouts add scope. Commercial permanent work is priced individually after a site review, and we provide certificates of insurance.
FAQ
Permanent Lighting: Common Questions
How much do permanent Christmas lights cost in Central California?
Residential OMNI runs from about $3,700 for a 100-foot roofline up to about $16,500 for a 450-foot full-home wrap, with installation and drive time included. Where your home lands depends on footage, corners and gables, story height and power location. Commercial projects are priced individually. Final pricing is confirmed in writing after a consultation.
What is the difference between PermaLites 365 and OMNI RGB?
PermaLites 365 faces outward on the roofline, so the lights form a visible outline that reads as holiday lighting. OMNI RGB is concealed under the eave in color-matched track and washes light down the wall. OMNI also has a dedicated warm-white diode, which makes it the usual choice for year-round architectural light.
Can you see permanent lights on the house during the day?
With OMNI, very little. The powder-coated aluminum track is color-matched to your trim and sits under the eave, so most people do not notice it. PermaLites 365 is designed to be seen, with outward-facing fixtures along the roofline. If daytime curb appeal is the priority, OMNI is the usual recommendation.
Why don't you install app-based DIY permanent light kits?
We install systems we can fit and stand behind: PermaLites 365, OMNI RGB and, for specialty displays, Twinkly Pro. App-based DIY light kits are products you install or hire out, often fastened with staples or clips and leaving wire exposed. We have replaced a stapled kit that began flickering after about six months, once wind wore through the wire coating.
How should I compare permanent lighting proposals?
Compare on the same terms: price per linear foot and whether installation and drive time are included, product warranty length, labor warranty length, who services the system, and whether it has a true warm-white diode. Our OMNI proposals answer all five, whether you are also looking at JellyFish, Trimlight, Gemstone or a retail kit.
What warranty comes with OMNI permanent lighting?
OMNI carries a 15-year product warranty, and Kaylor covers installation labor for one year. If you keep an annual Kaylor service plan, lifetime product coverage is available, subject to agreement, and it transfers once to a new owner if you sell the home. Contact us for full warranty details.
Do permanent lights damage the roof or fascia?
Permanent systems are fastened to the structure, so installation quality is what matters. OMNI mounts under the eave in fitted aluminum track with concealed wiring, rather than staples and loose wire across the fascia. We review your roof type and trim at the site visit and plan mounting, corners and wire routing before anything is installed.
Do you install permanent lighting for businesses and cities?
Yes. We design permanent systems for commercial and municipal properties and use Twinkly Pro for mapped, programmable displays at venues and public spaces. Commercial work is priced after a site review, we provide certificates of insurance, and installs can be scheduled after hours. Our holiday clients include the City of Porterville, the City of Lindsay, Downtown Visalia and Adventist Health.
