Permanent vs. Temporary Holiday Lighting:
Which Is Right for You?
Southern Lights offers both permanent and temporary holiday lighting solutions to fit your lifestyle, budget, and long-term goals. Whether you want flexibility from year to year or a polished, year-round solution, we help you choose the option that works best for you.
Permanent Holiday Lighting
Permanent holiday lighting is a great solution for homeowners or business owners who want a clean, discreet setup that delivers year-round versatility. With app-controlled features, you can change colors and patterns to match any holiday, season, or special event—without ever climbing a ladder again. Professionally installed to blend into your roofline or architectural features, these systems are energy-efficient, low-maintenance, and always ready when you are.
Permanent lighting is perfect if you:
- Want the convenience of never having to schedule seasonal installs.
- Like the idea of year-round use for birthdays, celebrations, or ambient lighting.
- Are looking for a clean, professional look that stays up all year long.
Temporary Holiday Lighting
Our temporary lighting service is ideal for those who want a fresh design each year or prefer a more traditional, seasonal approach. We handle everything—from design and installation to takedown and storage—so you can enjoy the magic of the holidays without the hassle.
Temporary lighting is perfect if you:
- Love switching up your holiday décor from year to year.
- Want to try lighting on a smaller scale before investing long-term.
- Prefer a classic seasonal experience with full-service setup and removal.
No matter which option you choose, Southern Lights ensures your holiday display is beautiful, safe, and completely stress-free. Not sure what’s right for you? We’re happy to walk you through the options and help you decide.

How Much Does Holiday Lighting Cost
Holiday lighting is an investment in beauty, safety, and stress-free celebration—and the cost can vary depending on the scope of your project. At Southern Lights, we tailor every installation to the unique features of your home or business, ensuring you get a display that fits your vision and your budget.
Several factors influence pricing:
- Size of the Property – Larger homes, roofs, and landscapes naturally require more lighting and labor.
- Design Complexity – More intricate designs, color changes, and features may increase the level of customization and time involved.
- Lighting Type – We use high-quality, energy-efficient LED lights that offer exceptional brightness and long-term savings.
- Professional Installation & Service – Our team handles everything from setup to takedown (and storage, if needed), ensuring your lights look perfect and function flawlessly throughout the season.
Whether you’re looking for a simple, elegant display or a full-scale, high-impact design, we’ll provide a customized quote during your consultation—no guesswork, no surprises.

Peace of Mind with Our No-Hassle Lifetime Warranty
At Southern Lights, we believe your outdoor lighting investment should come with confidence and clarity. That’s why we offer one of the industry’s most comprehensive warranties—designed to protect your system and ensure lasting performance.
What Our Warranty Covers
Lifetime Fixture Warranty
Our stainless steel low-voltage transformers are backed by a lifetime replacement warranty when installed by our Certified Low Voltage Lighting Technicians (CLVLT). Registration within 90 days of installation is required.
10-Year Wire and Connection Guarantee
We guarantee the integrity of our wiring and connections for 10 years, covering both materials and labor for the first 3 years. This applies to systems installed by our certified technicians.
5-Year LED Bulb Warranty
Our LED bulbs come with a 5-year anti-corrosion guarantee, including 1 year of labor coverage. Halogen lamps are covered for 1 year from the installation date.
Additional Benefits
Transferrable Warranty
Should you sell your property, our warranty can be transferred to the new owner following a system assessment.
Extended Warranty with Maintenance Program
Clients enrolled in our maintenance program receive extended warranty benefits, ensuring ongoing protection and optimal system performance.
Exclusions
Our warranty does not cover damages resulting from misuse, abuse, lightning, acts of God, or unauthorized modifications. Tampering with the transformer voids all warranties.
With over 20 years of experience and a commitment to excellence, Southern Lights stands behind every system we install. Our No-Hassle Lifetime Warranty is more than a promise—it’s our pledge to deliver enduring quality and peace of mind.
Visit Us In Person – A Brick-and-Mortar Experience You Can Trust

Work One-on-One with the Owner
and Lead Designer
At Southern Lights, you're not just another client passed off to a foreman or salesperson. When you choose us, you're working directly with Pete Bryant, the founder and owner, who brings nearly 30 years of hands-on experience in outdoor lighting and audio design.
Expertise You Can Trust, Service You Can Count On
Pete’s journey began in 1995 when he started his landscaping business, Southern Exposure Landscape Management. Recognizing the growing demand for specialized outdoor lighting and audio, he founded Southern Lights Outdoor Lighting & Audio in 2007. Since then, Pete has dedicated himself entirely to this craft, ensuring every project reflects his commitment to excellence.
Unparalleled Qualifications
Pete is among the most certified professionals in the industry, holding credentials such as:
- Certified Outdoor Lighting Designer (COLD) – One of only 58 graduates nationwide, a rigorous 4-year program.
- Certified Low Voltage Lighting Technician (CLVLT).
- AOLP Board Member – Actively contributing to the advancement of outdoor lighting standards.
Hands-On Involvement
From the initial consultation to the final installation, Pete is involved in every step:
- Personal Consultations – Discuss your vision directly with Pete.
- Customized Designs – Benefit from Pete’s creative and technical expertise.
- Quality Assurance – Pete oversees installations to ensure they meet the highest standards.
Why It Matters
Working with Pete means your project is handled by someone who truly knows the craft. You get consistent communication, expert insight, and personal attention from start to finish—something you won’t find with companies that hand you off to a foreman. In addition to Pete’s involvement and expertise, Southern Lights is powered by a team of highly skilled professionals—some of whom have been with him for over 18 years—carefully selected for their talent, reliability, and commitment to quality.
It’s Time to Shine
Whether you want a simple glow or a full-on winter wonderland, we’ve got you covered. Our schedules fill up quickly due to limited installation windows—don’t wait to book!
