FAQ: Toronto Glow's Permanent Outdoor LED Lighting

Permanent outdoor LED lights are a professional exterior lighting system designed to stay up year-round. Unlike string lights or DIY setups, these are installed in colour-matched soffits and hidden tracks, making them invisible by day and brilliant by night. With Toronto Glow’s smart LED lighting system, you can enjoy exterior LED lights that last decades, run efficiently, and look polished 24/7.

Traditional holiday lights are temporary, often tangled, and need ladders every season. In contrast, permanent holiday lighting stays installed for good, controlled through a smartphone app with access to millions of colours and animations. With Toronto Glow’s smart LED systems, you don’t need clips or hooks—our outdoor lighting installation team secures lights in custom tracks for a sleek look across your roofline.

Residential outdoor accent lighting focuses on enhancing your home’s natural beauty after dark. It’s designed to highlight architectural details, landscape elements, and outdoor living areas — creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

Accent lights can be used to:

• Illuminate shrubs, trees, and garden beds to add depth and texture. 
• Use flood lights or spotlights to emphasize exterior walls, columns, or gables.
• Provide subtle uplighting or path lighting along driveways, patios, or walkways for added safety and elegance.
   

When integrated with Toronto Glow’s permanent outdoor LED lighting, accent lighting delivers a seamless look — combining beauty, security, and year-round functionality in one smart, energy-efficient system.
