PermaLights by SIX MILE

Every home is different. The size of your rooflines, the complexity of your architecture, and how much of the exterior you want to cover all affect the final number. The best way to get an accurate figure is a free on-site design consultation. We come to you, look at the space, and give you a real, transparent quote with no obligation.

Surprisingly little. A typical whole-home PermaLights system costs less than $5 a month to run at average New York utility rates. Our architectural LEDs are incredibly efficient, so running your entire roofline night after night uses less energy than leaving two standard 60-watt bulbs on inside your house. You get a fully illuminated exterior with a barely noticeable impact on your electric bill.

Solar lights work fine in climates with reliable, year-round sun. The Finger Lakes is not that climate. Heavy winter snow covers panels and cuts off charging completely. Extended Upstate cloud cover drains batteries before dusk. Freezing temperatures drastically shorten battery life. PermaLights draws from your home's power, so it works exactly the same in deep January as it does in July. Set the schedule once and it always runs.

They are designed to be practically invisible during the day. We install the aluminum tracks flush against your soffit and color-match the housing to your existing trim or fascia. From the street, the system blends into your architecture. No plastic clips, no hanging wires, nothing that hurts your curb appeal in daylight.

PermaLights are engineered for harsh Upstate climates. The fixtures sit in fully enclosed, weather-resistant, UV-protected housings tucked securely beneath your roofline. That under-eave placement protects them from heavy snow slides, ice buildup, and freezing rain. They are built to take a beating from the elements without shifting or losing connection.

Yes. Every PermaLights installation includes a secure, cloud-connected smartphone app. Set automated schedules, adjust brightness, switch between holiday themes, or build custom color sequences from anywhere. No external hubs or extra hardware required.

The app comes with a range of preset designs for holidays, seasons, and sports team game days. Your lights are fully configurable, so you can also build your own sequences and save them for later. Whatever the occasion, you are in complete control.

Most residential installations are completed in one to two days depending on the size and complexity of your rooflines. Our crew handles everything including track mounting, concealed wiring, and app setup, and leaves your property clean before heading out.

Every installation includes ongoing service coverage. You are buying from the same crew you trust for your home exterior. If a fixture or track component ever needs attention, our team handles the troubleshooting and replacement directly. No hunting down parts, no ladders.

The system is built to stay installed year-round. No seasonal removal, no storage, no putting ladders up in November. The system can be uninstalled if you ever repaint your trim or replace your roof, but most homeowners install it and never look back.

Yes. We install throughout Ithaca, Tompkins County, and the surrounding Finger Lakes region including Trumansburg, Lansing, Cayuga Heights, Skaneateles, Cazenovia, and Horseheads. Not sure if you are in our range? Give us a call or request a free estimate and we will let you know.
