This DIY project goes into detail on how to install the Everlight permanent Christmas Lights / House Lights in hours. This LED strip Outdoor Lighting is extremely well made and easy to install. This video will show how to prep the roof surface, apply layout tape, drill hole locations, insert the LED Christmas lights, install the caps, and electrical requirements needed. Make sure you have a good quality ladder prior to installing these LED lights. Once installed you can plug in your lights whenever you feel light being festive and avoid the need to ever get back onto you roof to install Christmas lights ever again.

OMG!!!! This is a ton of work and certainly not a job the average Joe would be able to do!!!! Furthermore, with all these wires, lights, connections, etc. This is going to be a disaster with have troubles in the future. Good luck but no thanks.
You talk like a chick. Plz stop.
What are those Lights called? Where do I find them? Thank you.
Snake oil ***beware***I was installer of this stuff for 2 years. Complete trash. One of the most expansive “permanent light” products on the market I also talked to two other dealers in the last year. We all quit because the lights would stop working after 2 weeks.
I installed 30 houses in 6 month. Had as many calls about warranty issues. Bulbs would literally catch on fire which the first year we installed everlights said it “must be how we were installing them.” But I had electricians with 10-15 years experience installing this stuff.
Finally everlights fixed the “lights catching on fire issue.” But I quit after 2 more houses almost caught on fire after they “fixed” the issues. Don’t let your house be the 4th of July fire works display that the whole neighborhood mocks you for. Several of my customers were the laughing stock of their neighborhood because their lights would never work during Christmas….almost bankrupted my business due to warranty issues.
How have they held up over the years?
Probably should fix that fascia and flashing first. Will definitely be reinstalling the system. I do like the lights!
If you’re thinking of getting these, don’t. We recently had these installed and they worked for all of two weeks before there was an issue. We paid an electrician a massive sum to install. Their instructions were spotty, and only available on the internet. Not to mention their coverings for the lights are flimsy and absolutely not what you see here. After Christmas they stopped working altogether and we had to be on the phone with support which had no idea how to fix it. They said it was a pairing issue. Remember that these lights are thousands of dollars. They don’t have a home office and your call gets directed to whomever is receiving calls that day, and it makes for them not knowing the full situation and asking the same things of you. After three calls and another visit from the electrician, by the way I had to pay him more for that visit, they deem it’s the receiver. I sent back the box as they asked, by the way, I had to pay for postage too, and they sent me the same receiver back and said it worked fine. I asked why did you not just send me a new one just in case? They said because they thought it would be easier because the box was already paired. A bit later they sent a message stating they were sorry, but they unpaired it to check the receiver and we will need to do it again. We then had the electrician out again, and the electrician installed the box again, I demanded to speak to an actual installer this time. The installer said it’s the receiver 😂, send it back. We paid for postage again, this time they wanted the receiver and some other items. They said they would send new ones. Fast forward to March and we have the electrician out again we have now received what we think is new. The electrician says that they sent the same box, and he knows it, they deny it. However, he reconnects the things and the lights finally work again. We ended up paying the electrician 270 extra dollars due to the waste of visits. Not only that the company admits to no wrong doing and swears by their do it yourself methods. Absolutely the worst investment I made on my home, and I can’t say that they work now and will do so for a long time. Beware. Go elsewhere
Not what i expected guy!
What if you don’t have drip edge ???
Everlights are the worst thing I ever had done. 2 years in and have had them professionally installed. Have had maybe one holiday without issues with these lights.
Are there any color changing options so they can be switched for different seasons and color schemes?
Tell me he's not going to drill through the drip edge…he drilled thru it
After your two years of having Everlights… are you having problems with light modules burning out every other few weeks?
gay
How did the lights hold up? Did they lose brightness at all?
ok now that song is in my head what artist ,song????
Wow the price is a lil high compared to others i have looked into
Pretty cool but too got damn expensive. If you factor in someone else/labor installing these, it's way too much money. I figure I need 200 feet, which is like $2900 without labor. BS, I will just hang walmart trash each year and throw it away. Still much cheaper.
Noticed your home doesn’t have gutters, how would you install on a home with gutters?
Great video at 3:40 you discuss the gasket. Are you sure the gasket goes on the inside (underneath) the drip edge, or the face edge (where moisture originates)? I can not find this detail in any instructions/manuals.
House should come w these built in. What a great design. Good video 😊
