Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is permanent lighting, and how does it differ from traditional lighting?
    Permanent lighting refers to lighting systems that are installed to remain in place year-round, unlike temporary or seasonal lighting. These systems are designed for long-term use, providing consistent illumination for homes, venues, and commercial spaces. They can be customized for specific purposes, such as architectural lighting, holiday displays, or general ambiance, and often incorporate energy-efficient technologies.
  • Is professional installation necessary for permanent lighting systems?
    While some homeowners may opt for DIY installation, professional installation is recommended to ensure safety, proper wiring, and adherence to local codes and regulations. Professional installers have the expertise to design and install systems that meet all necessary standards, providing peace of mind and long-lasting performance.
  • Will permanent lighting look ugly on my home during the day?
    No! Our low-profile aluminum channels come in 21 colors and are less than 1 inch deep—allowing the channels to blend into your soffit or fascia seamlessly.
  • Is it expensive to use permanent lighting?
    Because Aura uses a 24 volt system instead of a 48 volt system like many other lighting companies use, Auras LED lights use much less power than you would expect—allowing you to run your favorite lighting sequences all year round.
  • How long does it take to install Aura lighting?
    After the required 2 weeks to get your order custom built, 1-2 days is the typical install time for most homes and small businesses.
  • What is the average cost to install Aura permanent lighting?
    The pricing varies quite dramatically depending on how much of the home you want to light, and the complexity of your homes roof lines and gables. Here are the average price ranges based on the parts of the home you want to light: Front of Home Only: $2,200 - $3,500 Front and Sides of Home: $3,900 - $5,200 Whole Home $5,800 - $7,400
  • Does Aura have a warm white color option?
    Yes! Because Aura’s lights use a unique RGBW color profile, you’re able to get that cozy warm white color. Many other systems only have an RGB color system so the white lighting is either too blue (cool) or you have to use an orange color to try and get a warm white feeling.
  • Are Aura's lights safe?
    Yes! Aura’s lights are UL listed—meaning that they have been tested and certified by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) to meet nationally recognized safety and sustainability standards. That stamp of safety means that you can rest easy while your permanent lights shine bright.
  • Is Aura’s permanent lighting system built in the USA?
    Yes! Our channels are cut and assembled in-house and shipped to several states. Because of this, plan on up to 2 weeks for your custom permanent lighting system to be ready for installation.
  • How long do permanent lighting systems typically last?
    The lifespan of a permanent lighting system depends on the quality of the materials and installation. High-quality systems, especially those using LED technology, can last anywhere from 15 to 25 years or more with minimal maintenance. Durable materials and professional installation also contribute to longevity.
  • What are the benefits of permanent holiday lighting?
    Permanent holiday lighting offers convenience and cost savings by eliminating the need for time-consuming and dangerous seasonal installation and removal. It also provides durable, weather-resistant lights that can be used for multiple occasions throughout the year. Customizable options allow for festive displays without the hassle of traditional holiday lights.
  • How do I choose the right permanent lighting solution for my property?
    Choosing the right permanent lighting solution depends on your specific needs, budget, and aesthetic preferences. Consider factors such as the purpose of the lighting (e.g., security, decoration, ambiance), the style of your property, and energy efficiency goals. Consulting with a professional lighting designer can help you select the best options and create a tailored lighting plan that meets your requirements.
  • What are the maintenance requirements for permanent lighting systems?
    Permanent lighting systems generally require minimal maintenance, especially those with LED fixtures. Routine checks for any damage or wear and tear, as well as occasional cleaning, can help keep the system in optimal condition.
  • Can Aura's permanent lighting be customized to match the style of my home or venue?
    Absolutely! Permanent lighting systems can be tailored to complement the architectural style and aesthetic of any home or venue. Custom design options include color, intensity, placement, and even programmable features to create specific lighting effects and moods.
  • Are permanent lighting systems energy-efficient?
    Yes, many permanent lighting systems are designed to be energy-efficient. They often utilize LED technology, which consumes less electricity and has a longer lifespan compared to traditional incandescent bulbs. Additionally, smart controls and timers can further optimize energy use, reducing overall costs.
  • Will Aura lights work on a 5 GHz WiFi network?
    No. If your WiFi router doesn’t provide “dual-band”, and only has 5 GHz, you’ll need to get a new dual-band router that provides a 2.4 GHz signal that is needed for Aura lights to communicate with the controller app.
  • Is there a warranty?
    Yes, there is a 5 year warranty on all parts and labor.
  • Can I just light up the peaks of my gables for accent lighting?
    Yes! Unlike any other permanent lighting provider out there, Aura can install a single light at the peak of your gables which you can assign any color, brightness, or schedule.
  • Is there an Aura App?
    No, Aura’s lighting syncs with an app called WLED Native. The WLED Native app functionality can also be accessed on a desktop.
  • How much experience does Aura have?
    Aura’s management team has over 20 years of electrical contracting experience, and our lighting supplier has been in business for over 20 years as well.
