The hardware
What we actually install on your house
Permanent lighting is not one product. It is a track, a set of strands, a controller and a handful of components that decide whether the result looks built-in or bolted on.
Track running the eave line, matched to the trim, with the wiring inside the channel.
Component by component
Seven parts, and what each one decides
RGBW pebble lights
Compact individually addressable modules. RGBW means red, green and blue plus a dedicated white channel — so the system produces a true white rather than mixing an approximation of one. That matters more than the color range, because warm white is what most people run most of the time.
Track
The channel that positions each light consistently and holds the wiring. Available in white, brown, black, gray and sand, and components can be custom painted where none of those is close enough to your trim. This is the part that decides what your house looks like in July.
Track covers
Trim that installs between the lights to hide the wire inside the channel. It is the step most often skipped by cheaper installations, and its absence is the difference between lighting that looks built-in and lighting that looks stapled on.
Modular strands
Strands come in multiple lengths so a layout can follow your actual roofline rather than approximate it. They also mean a failed section can be replaced individually years later.
Spacer cables
Non-illuminated cable that bridges two lit sections while keeping the gap between them dark. This is how a system skips a stretch of roofline that should not be lit, without visible wire running across it.
WEC3 controller
The control platform. It takes standard 110V household power and drives the low-voltage lighting, handling color, effects, brightness and scheduling. We place it where it stays accessible for service and visually quiet.
App control
Minleon currently specifies the Pixel Dancer app for the WEC3 platform. Colors, scenes, brightness and schedules are set from your phone. We configure it and walk you through it before we leave.
Why we chose this platform
Two reasons, and neither is about color range.
The first is the track and cover system. A permanent installation lives on the most visible edge of your house, switched off, for most of the year. Concealed wiring in a color-matched channel is the difference between a system you have to look for and one you cannot stop seeing.
The second is serviceability. Strands are modular and replaceable with compatible connections, which means a failure years from now is a service call rather than a re-installation. We warrant our workmanship for three years, and a system that cannot be serviced is not really warrantable in any useful sense.
We are not going to tell you every other permanent lighting product is bad. Plenty are capable. What we will say is that these two properties are what we look for, and they are not obvious from a product page.
