A local trend with a practical reason
Drive through a Greenville neighborhood around the holidays and you will see it: clean lines of color along the roof edge and not a strand in sight. That is permanent outdoor lighting: LEDs installed into the architecture of the house and run from an app.

Then there are game days, birthdays, the Fourth of July, orange in October, all on the same track.
The local part matters
Upstate houses are not all one thing, and the design should not be either. Weather is the other piece: the hardware stays out through the heat and the rain all year.
The local process
It starts with somebody coming out to look at the house. Somebody looks at the house and asks how you use the outside of it, then the plan gets built for that roofline. The install is done professionally, which is the part you are paying for.
Not only houses
The same systems work on businesses. A storefront lit in company colors reads from the road. Restaurants light patios, shops light entrances and storefronts, and neighborhoods light their entrances. Scheduling gets planned around open hours, because nobody wants a ladder at the front door during lunch.
Local questions that come up
Everybody asks the daylight question first. Color matched track mounted tight to the fascia handles that, and in daylight most people have to be shown where it is.People ask how it reads next to the neighbors. The setting is up to you: a plain warm white on the roofline reads as architectural, not as decoration. Color is there for December and for game days, and unused the rest of the year.The service area runs past the state line.
