Outdoor Security Lighting Installation

Professional protection that feels like home. Sophisticated security lighting designed for safety, style, and total peace of mind.

Why Security Lighting Matters

Darkness is a criminal opportunity. Intruders prefer to operate unseen, using shadows and dark corners to approach homes, check for vulnerabilities, and make their escape. Proper security lighting eliminates these hiding spots and makes your home a far less attractive target. Studies consistently show that well-lit properties experience significantly fewer break-ins, vandalism incidents, and trespassing. But security lighting is not just about deterring criminals. It also prevents accidents by illuminating walkways, steps, and obstacles. It lets you see who is at your door before you open it. And it provides peace of mind knowing your family and property are protected every night.

Placement Strategy

Strategic Security Light Placement

Effective security lighting is about eliminating dark zones — not just adding bright lights randomly. The goal is creating a continuous perimeter of light with no dark approaches.

All Entry Points

Front, back, side, and garage doors — every access point to your home should be well-lit and visible.

Driveway & Parking

Illuminate so you can clearly see approaching vehicles and people before they reach your home.

Approach Pathways

Paths from the street or sidewalk should be lit so visitors are visible as they approach your property.

Hidden Zones

Areas hidden from street view are prime hiding spots — these dark corners need the most attention.

Ground-Level Windows

Any accessible windows should have nearby lighting — a vulnerable point that’s often overlooked.

Full Perimeter

The goal is a continuous ring of light — no dark approaches where someone could hide or move unseen.

Security lighting is most effective when it’s designed as a system, not installed piecemeal. We assess your entire property to identify every vulnerability and create a comprehensive plan that eliminates dark zones completely.

Why Soffit Lighting?

Benefits of Exterior Soffit Lighting

Soffit lighting offers a clean, architectural look that other lighting styles cannot match. Because the fixtures are recessed or tucked into the overhang, you see the light — not the source.

Hidden Fixtures

Recessed into the overhang so you see the light, not the source — a clean, invisible look day and night.

Improved Safety

Illuminates walkways and entry areas so family and guests can navigate safely after dark.

Security Deterrent

Eliminates dark corners around your home, deterring intruders and keeping your property protected.

Architectural Accent

Highlights your home’s best features — stone work, columns, trim details — with a sophisticated downlight effect.

Smart Home Integration

Connects with your smart home system for schedules, voice control, and seamless automation.

Soffit lighting offers a clean, architectural look that other styles simply cannot match. The fixtures stay completely hidden — creating an elegant effect that enhances your home 24/7, not just during the holidays.

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.
