Why Permanent?

Invisible by Day.
Stunning at Night.

We're an Authorized SnapTrack Installer, building every install on the same powder-coated aluminum channel system professional permanent-lighting installers use. Every wire and connector hides inside the track — clean, architectural, and HOA-approved. Nobody knows it's there until the lights come on.

🏠

Architectural, Not Decorative

Color-matched aluminum channels blend into your soffit. No visible wires, no clips, no tape — just clean lines that look built into your home.

📱

Millions of Colors, Full App Control

Switch from Broncos orange to warm white to deep teal in seconds. Set schedules, scenes, and animations from your phone — no ladders ever again.

🏔️

Built for Colorado Winters

Weather-resistant hardware engineered for Front Range snow, hail, and UV exposure — stays secured and looking great year after year.

Two Systems

Two Systems.
No Dealer Lock-In.

We install two systems — Govee and Strata — with two genuinely different purchase structures. There's no dealer agreement steering our recommendation, so the system we suggest fits your home and your budget, not a sales quota.

Not sure which system fits? The choice comes down to purchase structure — buy your own lights on the Govee path, or have us supply everything on the Strata path. Tell us about your home on the quote form and we'll talk through both with you. 5280 Lights is an independent installer, not a brand-owned dealership.

The Professional Difference

Why Our Install Looks Nothing Like DIY

Most homeowners clip lights straight to the soffit with plastic clips or tape. We use commercial-grade aluminum channel track — and the difference is immediately obvious.

❌ DIY Install
  • Exposed wires visible all day
  • Uneven spacing between bulbs
  • Plastic clips crack in Colorado cold
  • Tape fails — lights sag and fall
  • HOA may flag as unsightly
  • Looks like decorations were added on
✓ 5280 Lights Pro
  • All wiring fully concealed in track
  • Perfect, consistent bulb spacing
  • Powder-coated aluminum — zero flex
  • Mechanically secured, not taped
  • HOA-friendly, architectural look
  • Looks like it was built into the home
The Hardware That Makes the Difference

Commercial-Grade Aluminum Track

We install using professional aluminum channel track — the same system used by high-end permanent lighting companies — not the plastic clips and tape you'd find in any DIY install.

01

Fully Concealed Wiring

Every wire runs inside the aluminum channel. From the street, you see nothing but clean roofline — until the sun goes down.

02

Color-Matched to Your Soffit

Powder-coated aluminum matches your home's exterior so the track disappears into the roofline during daylight hours.

03

Mechanically Secured

Screwed directly into soffits with self-tapping hardware — not glued, not taped. Stays perfectly level through Colorado winters.

04

Perfect Bulb Spacing

The track locks each bulb at a precise, consistent interval. No bunching, no sagging, no gaps — a perfectly even line every time.

🌅 This is what 5,280 feet above average looks like.

Neighbors Talking

Front Range Homes,
Lit the Right Way

Real installs, real Denver Metro homeowners. Here's what it's like working with 5280 Lights.

5.0 average · 5 Google reviews
★★★★★
5280 lights did a fantastic job putting up the Govee Pro Lights and snaptrack system. Our home on one side had about a 30' height on one side and the technicians scaled the home carefully and mounted the track and lights with professionalism and everything works amazing. The built in Govee programs make a first timer in programming 1,000's of different scenes from XMAS, 4th of July, to our Denver Bronco football team. You cannot go wrong with hiring 5280 for your permanent outside lighting solution. Call Jake, he will take care of you.
Paul B. Parker, CO
★★★★★
I had a great experience with Jake and his crew. Communication was excellent throughout the project, and the team was professional, respectful, and easy to work with.

The installation came out very clean and looks significantly better than having the cords exposed. The custom track was color-matched to the house, so the lights now look integrated into the exterior rather than added on afterward. The finished result is neat, polished, and looks like it was designed as part of the home.

I would definitely recommend them to anyone considering a permanent lighting installation.
Ali L. Aurora, CO
★★★★★
Jake and his team were incredible, amazing customer service. Our lights are going to be useful for any occasion, especially during Broncos season. I would recommend 5280 lights to anyone looking for a solid long term solution to upgrade their house. Thank you!

FAQ

Common Questions

Do I need to buy the lights myself?

+
That depends on the path you choose. On the Govee path, yes — you buy the Govee lights directly from Govee or Amazon, and we tell you exactly which model and how many to order when we quote you; we supply and install the aluminum mounting track and handle all the wiring. On the Strata path, we supply everything — lights, track, and labor — in one installed price.

Which system is right for me?

+
Both paths get the same crew and the same concealed aluminum channel install. The Govee path suits homeowners who want to order their own lights direct and manage everything through the Govee app. The Strata path suits homeowners who want one all-inclusive installed price, with a contractor-supplied 48V system, consistent brightness across long runs, and a full dimming range. Not sure? Send us a quote request and we'll talk through both with you.

What makes your installation different from DIY?

+
The difference is the hardware. DIY installs use plastic clips or 3M tape — wires stay visible, spacing is uneven, and clips fail in Colorado winters. We use commercial-grade aluminum channel track that fully conceals all wiring, locks every bulb at a precise spacing, and is mechanically screwed into your soffit. The result looks architectural — like it was built into your home. Most HOAs can't even tell it's there during the day.

How much does installation cost in Denver?

+
On the Govee path, most Denver Metro homes run about $22 to $25 per linear foot all-in — you buy the Govee lights direct, and most projects land in the $1,200 to $4,500 range. Our all-inclusive Strata system — lights, track, and labor — runs $30 to $33 per linear foot installed. We quote remotely from photos of your home, so you get an exact number without a site visit. Curious how this stacks up against bundled systems? See our Govee vs Trimlight comparison for the full cost breakdown.

Do the lights need to come down after the holidays?

+
Never. Permanent lights stay on your home year-round and you control everything from the app — switch from festive red to Broncos orange to warm white in seconds.

Will my HOA approve permanent lighting?

+
Most HOAs approve because our color-matched aluminum track blends into your soffit and is nearly invisible during the day. It looks architectural, not decorative. We can provide documentation to support your HOA application.

How long does installation take?

+
Most homes are completed in a single day. We arrive, measure, mount the track, run all wiring inside the channel, install your lights, configure your app, and walk you through the system before we leave.

Can the lights handle Colorado winters?

+
Absolutely. The aluminum track is mechanically fastened — not taped — and powder-coated for weather resistance. Designed to handle Front Range snow, hail, UV, and freeze/thaw cycles year after year.

What areas do you serve?

+
We serve the entire Denver Metro area including Aurora, Centennial, Highlands Ranch, Parker, Castle Rock, Littleton, Denver, Englewood, Lakewood, and Westminster.
