Exterior Home Lighting
Installed once, in a color-matched track that disappears by day. Every holiday, game day and quiet Tuesday night, from your phone.
Still hanging lights every season?
Permanent lighting is the upgrade you buy once. We fit a low-profile aluminum track along your rooflines, custom-cut and color-matched so it reads as trim from the street, then load it with pro-grade LEDs that tune from candle-warm white to full color. You run everything from an app: schedules, zones, dozens of preset scenes, and an AI scene builder that turns a phrase like “soft Halloween” into a look in seconds. No ladders in December. No storage bins. No sagging strings in July.
- A weekend on a ladder every November, and another taking it all down in January
- Storage totes of tangled strands that half-work next year
- Rental or reinstall fees every single season, forever
- Clips and staples that chew up your fascia
- A dark house the other ten months of the year
What's included in permanent lighting
Custom digital design
We design your home's lighting digitally before you spend a dollar, so you see the roofline plan, zones and scenes up front.
Color-matched aluminum track
Custom-fit channel, paintable to match your fascia. It shields the LEDs from ice and wind and passes the daytime test as clean trim.
Tunable pro-grade LEDs
Millions of colors alongside a true warm white, in fixtures rated for 50,000 hours — decades of nightly use.
Engineered power, not plug-and-pray
Wired the right way, so the far end of a long roofline glows exactly as bright as the near end.
Concealed wiring
Controllers and transformers live in your garage or attic. No black cords zip-tied to downspouts.
App setup and walkthrough
We build your first scenes, set your schedules and hand you a system you can run from the couch.
Permanent lighting, engineered for Wisconsin
The whole system is sealed against Wisconsin weather, with anti-UV housings that shrug off July sun and January ice without fading or failing. Tucking the LEDs inside an aluminum channel is what separates a permanent fixture from a strand of exposed wire: the track carries the ice and wind so the lights never do.
We stand behind it in writing: a lifetime warranty on the lights and parts — covered for their full 50,000-hour rated life — that transfers to the next homeowner, 1 year on workmanship, and a 30-day satisfaction guarantee on every install. Most homes are done in a single day.
Kussmaul Co. installs permanent lighting across southern Wisconsin, from our Delafield base through Lake Country, Oconomowoc and Brookfield to the Milwaukee North Shore, Greater Madison, Middleton, Waunakee and Verona, Janesville and the Lake Geneva shoreline.
What it costs
Most projects run $20 to $40 per linear foot depending on rooflines and access, with typical homes landing between $3,000 and $8,500. Financing is available, and every quote starts with a free digital design.
