What permanent lighting is
One-time install
Mounted once, under the eave. There is no next year, no ladder and nothing to put away.
Invisible by day
The channel is matched to your fascia or trim, so from the street it reads as a shadow line.
Any colour, any night
Individually addressable points. Warm white on a Tuesday, full colour on the nights you want it.
Everything in writing
Fixture manufacturer named, their published specs and warranty, our workmanship warranty, fixed price.
Our work
Houses we have actually lit
Photographs of our own installs — the same crew, the same hands, before the Buzz Lighting name was over the door.
Warm white across three gables
A wide elevation with the run carried across every gable and the garage wing, so the whole outline reads from the road.
Warm white on a white farmhouse
Eave and gable runs in everyday warm white, with the walkway lit down to the street.
Purple roofline with warm downlights
The roofline run driven to a single saturated colour while the soffit downlights stay warm white — two separate circuits doing two different jobs.
Your turn
Try it on a house
Pick a scene and watch the whole elevation change. On a real install that switch happens from your phone, in about four seconds.
Pick a scene
Every other night of the year
A drawing, not a photograph — because no camera can show you six colours on one house at once. What it shows is real: one fixture, mounted once, changed from your phone whenever you feel like it. Photographs of our own installs are in the gallery.
Who it's for
Four kinds of job
Same fixture, genuinely different work. The quote and the schedule change depending on which of these you are.
Residential
Houses across the GTA
Roofline, gables, garage wings and columns. The setting that matters most is the everyday warm white — you will be looking at that one roughly 360 nights a year, and Christmas for about twenty.
Permanent lighting for homesCommercial
Storefronts, plazas and offices
Lighting that stays up all year and changes for the season from a phone, instead of booking a crew and a lift every December. Commercial work needs booking earlier — the install windows are tighter and access has to fit around trading hours.
Commercial seasonal lightingDecks & outdoor living
The part you actually sit in
Railings, posts, pergolas and covered patios. Roofline lighting makes the house look good from the street; this is the lighting you experience from inside your own yard, and it is usually the cheaper half.
Deck and patio lightingEvents
One-off installs
Entrances, marquees and short-run displays for a date that matters. Quoted and scheduled separately from the seasonal queue, so a wedding in July is not competing with December.
Lighting for an event
The money
Does permanent actually pay off?
Sometimes yes, sometimes no — it depends almost entirely on how long you are staying. We install both, so we have no reason to push you either way. Put your own numbers in.
Your numbers, not ours
Work out your own break-even
Install, takedown and storage together. If you do it yourself, put what you would pay someone else to.
This is the number that actually decides it. If you are moving soon, seasonal wins.
Over 10 years, seasonal lighting costs you
$8,000
and at the end of it you own nothing.
What to do with that
$8,000 is your break-even number. When you get a quote for a permanent installation — from us or from anyone — that is the figure to hold it against.
Get a number for my houseStraight multiplication, nothing hidden. It ignores two things that both favour permanent: the eleven months a year you would also have light on the house, and never having to be home for an install or a takedown again.
More on what moves the number: what outdoor lighting costs.
Two services, one calendar
What we actually do
Permanent lighting is the year-round product. Christmas lighting books September to October — see when to book Christmas light installation. Most people start with one and end up asking about the other.
The process
Four steps, no surprises
Nobody enjoys the part where a trade turns up and the price changes. This is the whole sequence.
- 01
On-site measure
We measure the actual roofline, look at access and soffit depth, and work out what the house can carry.
- 02
Layout and colour
Where the run starts and stops matters more than people expect. We agree the layout, and the trim colour the channel is matched to.
- 03
Install day
Channel goes up under the eave, the controller goes somewhere sensible and dry, and we clean up after ourselves.
- 04
Set up your scenes
We do not hand you an app and leave. Your warm white gets dialled in, your first few scenes get built, and you drive it before we go.

Questions & answers
The things people ask
If yours is not here, ask it on the estimate form — it will reach Alex, not a queue.
What is permanent outdoor lighting?
A slim LED channel mounted permanently under the eave and along the roofline, wired to a controller you run from your phone. It stays on the house year-round, so there is no annual install and no ladder. Each point can be a different colour, which is what lets one fixture cover warm white on an ordinary Tuesday and full colour at Christmas.
Can you see it during the day?
Barely. The channel is fitted tight under the eave in a colour matched to your fascia or trim, so from the street it reads as a shadow line rather than a fixture. That is the whole difference between permanent lighting and lights that are simply always up.
How is this different from putting Christmas lights up every year?
Seasonal lighting is a service you buy again every year — install, maintenance, takedown, storage. Permanent lighting is a one-time installation you then own. Buzz Lighting does both, and which one makes sense depends on how long you plan to stay in the house and whether you want light on it outside December.
Do you take Christmas lights down and store them?
Yes. Our seasonal service covers design, installation, maintenance through the season, then takedown in the new year and storage until next December. You never handle the lights.
How long do the lights last, and what is the warranty?
Lifespan and warranty come from the manufacturer of the fixture line specified for your home, and we put those exact terms in writing on your quote. We would rather show you the manufacturer’s own numbers than quote you a headline figure here.
Which areas do you cover?
Buzz Lighting serves Mississauga, Toronto, Brampton, Vaughan, Oakville, Markham, Richmond Hill, Burlington, Hamilton, Etobicoke, Scarborough, North York, Caledon, Milton, Georgetown, Halton Hills, King City, Woodbridge and Thornhill.
Are you a franchise?
No. Buzz Lighting is owner-operated. Alex quotes the job, and the same small crew installs it. There is no 1-800 queue and no rotating subcontractor.
