RGB and animated Christmas displays.
Pixel-mapped LED that changes colour, animates and synchronises to music — installed permanently on your roofline and controlled from an app. One system that runs Christmas in December, your brand colours year-round, and orange on Halloween.
Commercial RGB and animated Christmas lighting in DFW typically runs $20–$45 per linear foot installed, with most commercial properties landing between $15,000 and $75,000. The system is permanent — installed once into the roofline, controlled from an app, and reused every year with no annual install cost. Music synchronisation and pixel-mapped animation add programming time rather than hardware.

One system,
every holiday.
The economics change when the lighting stops being seasonal and starts being infrastructure.
16 million colours
Warm white for Christmas, orange for Halloween, red-white-blue for July, your brand palette for a grand opening — from the same fixtures.
Music synchronisation
Pixel-mapped sequences timed to audio. Popular for retail centres and entertainment districts that want a nightly show.
App control
Schedule by date, change scenes from a phone, set it once for the season and leave it. No one climbing a ladder to flip anything.
Permanent installation
Installed into the roofline in a track that is effectively invisible by day. No annual install and takedown cost after year one.
Commercial-grade fixtures
Individually addressable LEDs rated for exterior use, with a 10–15 year expected life and a warranty that covers failures.
Programmed for you
We build the scenes and schedules. You get a working system, not a controller and a manual.
Pay once.
Light every year after.
Permanent RGB costs more up front and less over any horizon longer than about four seasons.
A traditional commercial installation is billed every year — design, install, takedown, storage, repeat. A permanent RGB system is a capital cost in year one and effectively free to operate after that, aside from occasional service. For a property that lights up every December anyway, the crossover is usually somewhere between the third and fifth season.
The second argument is utilisation. A seasonal display works for six weeks. The same fixtures running your brand colours in September, orange at Halloween, and a static warm white on ordinary evenings are earning their keep year-round — which is why retail centres and entertainment districts tend to adopt this first.
The honest caveat: RGB is not the right answer for every property. A conservative corporate campus or a historic building often looks better in fixed warm white, and animation can read as cheap in the wrong setting. We will tell you when a traditional C9 install is the better-looking choice.

Common
rgb & animated displays questions.
The things buyers in this category actually ask before they commit.
How much do commercial RGB and animated Christmas lights cost?+
Permanent RGB runs $20–$45 per linear foot installed. A small facade or entrance feature is typically $15,000–$25,000; a full retail centre or multi-elevation building $25,000–$50,000; a landmark property with music synchronisation $50,000–$75,000+. After installation there is no annual reinstall cost.
Is it worth it versus a traditional seasonal install?+
It depends on your horizon. A seasonal install is billed every year; a permanent system is a one-time capital cost. For a property that lights up every December, the crossover is usually between the third and fifth season — sooner if you also use the system for other holidays or brand colours.
Can it play music-synchronised shows?+
Yes. Pixel-mapped sequences can be timed to audio, which is what retail centres and entertainment districts typically want for a nightly show. The work is in the programming rather than the hardware, and we build the sequences for you.
Is it visible during the day?+
The track is installed into the roofline and reads as trim from the street. It is not invisible at close range, but from normal viewing distance most people never notice it is there until it comes on.
What happens if a section fails?+
Individually addressable LEDs mean a failure affects a segment rather than the whole run, and fixtures carry a manufacturer warranty with our workmanship warranty on the install. Service callouts are handled by the crew that installed it.
Is RGB always the right choice?+
No, and we will say so. Conservative corporate campuses and historic buildings usually look better in fixed warm white, and animation can read as cheap in the wrong setting. RGB earns its place on retail, hospitality and entertainment properties that want to be noticed.
