How to Choose a Permanent Lighting Brand: 3 Things to Consider

Choosing a permanent lighting brand doesn’t have to be tricky — here’s what to look for.

Looking for the best permanent lighting brand to light up your home year-round? You’re in the right place — because we have some bright ideas to guide you.

Permanent lighting isn’t just for Christmas anymore. Imagine turning your house orange for Halloween, red and pink for Valentine’s, or your team’s colors on game day — all from your phone. It’s convenience, customization, and curb appeal wrapped in LED magic.

Before you invest, let’s break down what really matters when choosing the best permanent lighting brand. Get ready to glow smarter, not harder.

Life Expectancy

If you’re going to be making the investment in permanent holiday lighting, you’ll want to ensure your lights will last for years to come. 

So, this is an important distinction to make. While many companies readily reveal life expectancy details, there’s a difference between an estimate and a tested result.

For example, some brands claim a 100,000-hour life expectancy. However, these brands often have not even existed long enough to test this. 

Our permanent lighting brand, JellyFish, boasts a 30,000-hour life expectancy – and the brand has actually tested this. Rather than throwing out a hypothetical number, JellyFish ran a test. 

Good to Know: What does 30,000 hours translate to? That’s like turning on your permanent lights every day for four hours for 20 years. If you only turn them on for four hours a day during November and December for Christmas, that means they’ll last 122 years.

Quality

Permanent lights are offered at a wide variety of price points. Don’t let the deals fool you, though – the quality of year-round holiday lights can also vary widely.

One aspect that can vary between custom permanent eave lighting brands is the brightness of the lights.

JellyFish lights are brighter than the average permanent lights, because each light cell contains three diodes. 

Additionally, you can customize the brightness of every single light to fit your needs on any given day. So, JellyFish lighting can be used as subtle security lighting or attention-grabbing holiday lighting. 

The best part? You can make the brightness switch from an app on your phone!

Shine Style

Finally, the way each light shines can also vary from brand to brand. 

For example, lights may shine down in a rigid triangle shape. Downward-facing JellyFish lights, however, shine down evenly. 

Which one is better? It ultimately depends on which look you like – but lighting that evenly illuminates your home tends to look higher-end than lighting that doesn’t blend well. 

Moreover, JellyFish lights have a unique frosted lens that creates an elegant shine – rather than a sharp shine.

Now It’s Your Turn To Choose the Best Permanent Lighting Brand for You!

Now that we’ve made you aware of three important considerations when it comes to choosing a permanent Christmas light brand, the ball is in your court.
