Beyond the headline
A few details worth a closer look.
The finish matters before sunset
Permanent lighting stays on the house all year. Our custom-cut aluminum track follows your roofline and conceals the wiring, with a finish selected to suit your exterior. Pebbles, deeper lenses, pucks and classic C9s give you a choice of appearance.
[11]Compare the finished job
Our track packages include the controller, installation and app setup. A low retail kit or component price covers a different scope. Compare the complete measured total, including access, electrical work and tax, so you know what it will take to finish your home.
[10][11]Before you decide
A little more clarity.
Are these independent reviews?
No. Permanent Lights NW sells and installs Minleon. We disclose that relationship and link the information used, but we have not independently tested every system.
Are national price ranges reliable local quotes?
They are useful planning guidance. Local labor, access, the selected product and installation scope can change the total. Obtain a measured written quote for your home.
What should I ask every installer?
Ask for the exact product and spacing, a daylight track sample, a dim warm-white demonstration, the installed total including controls, and written parts, labor and service-call terms.
