Classic Series vs. Saber Series
Permanent Lighting Isn’t One-Size-Fits-All
One of the biggest misconceptions homeowners have about permanent lighting is that every system looks the same. The truth is that today’s permanent lighting solutions come in a variety of styles, spacing options, and designs to match different architectural styles and homeowner preferences.
At Aglow Custom Lighting, we offer two distinct permanent lighting systems:
● Classic Series Roofline Lighting
● Saber Series Continuous Light Bar
Whether you’re looking for the traditional holiday light appearance that blends seamlessly into your home or a modern architectural lighting system that creates a high-end custom look, we have an option designed specifically for your home.
Classic Series: The Traditional Permanent Holiday Light
Our Classic Series is the permanent lighting style most homeowners think of when they hear “permanent holiday lighting.” These are individual round LED lights installed inside a custom color-matched aluminum track that hides the system during the day while providing brilliant lighting at night.
The Classic Series offers:
● Traditional holiday lighting appearance
● Millions of color combinations
● Animated patterns and effects
● Custom zones and scheduling
● Everyday accent lighting
● Security lighting
● Holiday and game-day displays
The lights remain virtually hidden during the day and can be programmed for everything from Christmas and Halloween to birthdays, sporting events, and everyday architectural accent lighting.
9-Inch Spacing: The Most Popular Choice
Our 9-inch spacing Classic Series is the most common configuration we install. In fact, this is the spacing you see on the majority of permanent lighting installations throughout the country.
Benefits of 9-inch spacing include:
● Traditional holiday lighting appearance
● Excellent brightness and coverage
● Cost-effective installation
● Great visibility from the street
● Ideal for most homes and rooflines
For many homeowners, 9-inch spacing provides the perfect balance between brightness, aesthetics, and value. If you’ve seen permanent lighting installed on a friend’s home or in your neighborhood, there’s a good chance it was a 9-inch spacing system.
6-Inch Spacing: Maximum Brightness and Density
For homeowners looking for a more premium appearance, we also offer our 6-inch spacing Classic Series. With 6-inch spacing, lights are positioned significantly closer together than traditional installations.
What makes 6-inch spacing different?
Simply put: You get 50% more lights compared to a 9-inch spacing installation.
This creates:
● Greater brightness
● More light output
● Smooth animations
● Enhanced holiday displays
● A more luxurious appearance
Many homeowners choose 6-inch spacing when they want their home to stand out during the holidays or when they prefer a richer, more continuous lighting effect.
The additional light density creates a dramatic visual impact while still maintaining the classic holiday light look.
Saber Series: A Modern Continuous Light Bar
For homeowners seeking a completely different aesthetic, we offer our Saber Series Continuous Light Bar. Unlike traditional puck-style lights, the Saber Series uses a continuous LED light bar design that creates clean, uninterrupted lines of light along the home’s architecture.
The result is a sleek, modern appearance that complements contemporary homes and homeowners who prefer architectural lighting over traditional holiday lighting.
Benefits of Saber Series
● Modern, upscale appearance
● Continuous light output
● Bright and crisp light
● Clean architectural lines
● Hidden daytime profile
● Dynamic color-changing capabilities
● Holiday and everyday lighting
The Saber Series transforms a home’s roofline into a design feature rather than simply a location for holiday lights. Many homeowners compare the effect to luxury resorts, custom-built homes, and high-end commercial properties.
