Outdoor LED Soffit Lighting

At Astoria Lighting Co, we offer a full suite of amazing features to give you the best experience in the Outdoor LED Soffit Lighting space!

What is Soffit Lighting?

Soffit lighting refers to lights installed in the soffit, which is the underside of your roof overhang between the exterior wall and the

roofline. Soffit lights are recessed or surface-mounted into this area, pointing downward to wash the exterior walls with light. The result is a soft, elegant glow that highlights your home architecture without any visible fixtures cluttering the view. It is one of the most sophisticated forms of exterior lighting.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS

Outdoor LED soffit lighting looks beautiful when turned on and has a discreet appearance when turned off.

These energy-efficient lights utilize advanced LED technology, providing long-lasting performance and helping you save on energy costs. Designed for accent lighting, these lights create an ambience that highlights architectural details, adds depth to your home’s exterior, increases safety and security, and enhances its overall curb appeal.

Terminology

Soffit vs. Under Eave Lighting

Soffit lighting and under eave lighting are essentially the same thing — lights installed in the overhang area of your roof. The concept is identical: discreet fixtures mounted in the underside of your roof overhang that cast light downward.

Soffit Lighting

Technical Term

Soffit is the architectural term for the underside surface of your roof overhang.

Under Eave Lighting

Descriptive Term

Under eave is a more descriptive phrase referring to the same overhang area of your roof.

Soffit Lighting = Under Eave Lighting = Overhang Lighting = Eave Lighting

Regardless of what you call it, the concept is identical: discreet fixtures mounted in the underside of your roof overhang that cast light downward. All of these terms refer to the same professional lighting installation.

Placement

Soffit Lighting Placement Guide

Proper soffit light placement is crucial for achieving an even, professional look. This is where professional design makes a difference — we create a lighting plan that accounts for your home’s unique features.

Light Spacing

Typically 4–6 feet apart, though this varies based on soffit height and desired light intensity.

Soffit Height

Higher soffits may need tighter spacing or higher intensity bulbs to achieve even wall coverage.

Corners & Transitions

Corners and architectural transitions require adjusted spacing to avoid dark spots and ensure even coverage.

Light Angle & Effect

The angle of each light determines whether you get a tight wall wash or a wider flood — we tailor this to your goals.

This is where professional design makes the difference. We create a custom lighting plan that accounts for your home’s unique roofline, architecture, and aesthetic goals — so every angle looks perfect.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Are the lights replaceable?

Yes. Each light is an individual unit and attaches to the other lights via weatherproof, threaded caps, so they are easily unscrewed, pulled out, and replaced.

Can the lights provide true warm white?

Yes, as low as 2700K. It is true that other products on the market in the Permanent Christmas Lighting space do not offer a true warm white. The LED must be RGB-WW and have a yellow “diode” to allow for true warm white–which ours do!

How do payments work?

We collect 25% down and then order your materials. The balance is due at installation by check, cash, card, or through our 3rd party financing partner. We make it as easy as possible for your budget!

How much electricity does it use?

The lights on full bright white use less than one watt of power. It’s little enough that you won’t notice a difference in your electricity usage.

Is it designed for extreme temperatures?

Yes! Each light and connection has an IP 68 Waterproof rating and can operate at -40° F to 130°+F. All connections and wires are UV rated and will be able to last if ever exposed to long periods of sunlight (which they will not be as they are installed under the roofline). The track is made out of aluminum which is durable and won’t rust or degrade–the same material your gutters are made from.

What is the warranty?

Astoria Lighting Co provides a Lifetime Warranty on all permanent holiday light bulbs included in your system. Additionally, we offer a 10-year “bumper-to-bumper” warranty on all installed parts, plus a 3-year service warranty on labor.

What is the cost per foot?

At Astoria Lighting Co, we install industry-leading permanent lighting systems designed for long-lasting performance and outstanding value. We offer brighter LED lights, true warm-white capabilities, a closed track system, individually addressable lights, and many other important features that our competitors do not offer. It is priced according to how much linear feet you want installed on your home, plus a Wi-Fi controller and power supply system, rather than on the square footage of the home, and the length of rooflines can vary dramatically for houses of similar size. Because of this, we have to measure your roofline in order to give you an accurate quote.

However, as a guide, we typically run in the $20 to $28 dollar per linear foot range—plus $250-450 for controllers and power supplies–depending on the time of the year, as we frequently offer pricing promotions during the Spring and Summer months to encourage our customers to get their systems installed outside of the busy fall holiday season. Most of our jobs fall into the $2500 to $5500 range—sold, installed, and warrantied, with all taxes and fees included—to put lighting where customers would typically hang their Christmas lights. We offer great payment options that allow you to spread out the cost over time, resulting in significant savings versus hanging traditional Christmas lights, installing pot or can lighting, or otherwise improving the look of your home.

Where are the lights installed?

The lights are installed to the outer part of the soffit behind the fascia or trim, facing downward.

Can I make my own accent lighting?

Yes! Each light is individually addressable, meaning you can choose which lights you want on and what color you want them to be (anything from bright white to warm white or any color in the spectrum). For example, you can turn on lights at the top of each peak and over corners and columns, while the rest of the lights stay off, to provide nightly accents for your home. Our competitors do not offer this customizability.

Can I save timers?

Yes, you can save multiple nightly & weekly timers as well as calendar events for holidays and other special occasions. You can have them set by hour, or use the Sunrise and Sunset features.

Where can the lights be controlled from?

With the app, you can control your lights anywhere using our cloud technology. This means as long as your handheld device has an internet connection, you can be at work or anywhere in the world and turn on and off or change patterns remotely!

Are the lights UL listed & CSA/ETL approved?

Yes! The lights are ETL certified in the USA and Canada. Most low-voltage lighting companies are under the impression that they do not need proper CSA approvals for lighting if it is low voltage. This is incorrect and as a consumer, you should make sure that the product you are purchasing is indeed approved. You will see our ETL stamp of approval on our products.

How long does the installation take?

Average-sized installations are done in one day. You only need to be there for the beginning and the end of the installation. We will coordinate with you when we schedule your installation.

Can I make my own patterns?

Yes! The lights are individually addressable which allows you to choose which lights you want on and what color you want them to be, and join them together in different patterns and animations. There are millions of different colors that you can make! We also have hundreds of preset patterns and animations.

Can you see the lights from the street?

We install the lights in a color-matched aluminum track, made out of the same material that your gutters are made from. We depth-match the track to the way your soffit is built, so that the lights slightly protrude from the track below the fascia. They are unnoticeable from the street unless you are looking for them.

Are the lights dimmable?

Yes they are! Through the app, you can control and dim all the lights or just a section of the lights to get your desired effect.

How long does the system last?

Our LEDs are rated for 50,000 hours. It is a robust, outdoor rated LED lighting system that you can expect to last for years and years! We expect 10-20 years depending on usage–one installation, one investment, and many, many years with all of your lighting needs met!

How does the track hang?

Using the depth of the fascia on your home, we will hang it based on that specific depth. This allows us to create a low profile look that blends nicely into your home.
