Permanent Outdoor Lighting Services in Helena, MT

High Country Lighting Montana provides permanent outdoor lighting solutions for homeowners across Helena, Bozeman, Great Falls, Butte, and Missoula. With 8+ years of experience and over 5,000 homes serviced, our team installs lighting systems designed to last decades, not just one season. Every installation is backed by our 10-year parts warranty and limited lifetime service warranty.
We specialize in systems that stay up year-round, look invisible during the day, and transform your home at night with millions of color options controlled from your phone. Below you will find an overview of each service we offer.
Services Overview
Permanent Holiday Lighting
Our flagship service eliminates the annual hassle of hanging and removing seasonal lights. We install permanent LED systems along your roofline, soffit, and trim that stay mounted year-round. Using the Gemstone Lights HUB app, you can switch between holiday themes, everyday accent colors, and game day displays with a tap on your phone.
Each light is individually addressable, meaning you can customize patterns bulb by bulb. The systems are rated IP67 for waterproofing and built to handle Montana’s temperature extremes. Most homeowners pay between 10 per month in electricity, making permanent lighting far more affordable than hiring seasonal installers every year.
Soffit Lighting
Soffit lighting adds a clean, modern look to the underside of your roof overhang. Our permanent LED systems mount flush against the soffit, creating a wash of downward light that highlights your home’s architecture without visible fixtures. Soffit lights work well for security, curb appeal, and evening ambiance.
We custom-fit each installation to your home’s soffit dimensions, ensuring even spacing and consistent color output. Like all our systems, soffit lighting connects to the app for full color and brightness control.
Trim Lighting
Trim lighting follows the edges and architectural details of your home, including window frames, door surrounds, columns, and garage outlines. This service is popular with homeowners who want to highlight specific features of their home’s exterior without lighting the entire roofline.
Our trim installations use the same commercial-grade LED technology as our roofline systems, with individual waterproof connections that make future maintenance simple. If a single light needs replacement, we swap it without disturbing the rest of the line.
Roofline Lighting
Roofline lighting runs along the peaks, ridges, and eaves of your roof, creating a dramatic outline that is visible from the street. This is our most popular option for homeowners who want maximum curb appeal and holiday impact. Roofline installations follow the natural contours of your roof and are secured with custom-fitted mounting channels that match your home’s color.
The result is a system that disappears during the day and delivers brilliant, app-controlled color at night. Roofline lighting is especially effective for homes with complex roof shapes, where traditional clip-on lights often look uneven or fall off during winter storms.
Gemstone Lights
As an authorized Gemstone Lights dealer, we install the industry’s leading permanent outdoor LED system. Gemstone Lights feature per-bulb color control through the HUB app, with over 16 million color options, preset holiday themes, and the ability to create fully custom patterns.
The system is ETL/CSA certified, rated IP67 for waterproofing, and built with a 50,000-hour LED lifespan. Gemstone Lights come with a manufacturer warranty and our own installation warranty for complete peace of mind.
