The Short Version
If you've bought Enbrighten Eternity (or you're about to) and you don't want to spend a weekend on a ladder sticking them to your roofline with adhesive tape, hire us. We install professional aluminum channel track that protects the lights, conceals every wire, and clears HOA architectural review across Denver Metro. Flat $15 to $18 per linear foot. Most homes installed in a single day.
Why Hire a Enbrighten Installer Instead of DIY?
Enbrighten Eternity is a solid permanent outdoor lighting product. Enbrighten's Eternity line is the most retail-friendly permanent lighting system on the market — sold at Home Depot, Lowes, Costco, and through Amazon. The retail availability is the upside; the downside is the same DIY kit problem as every other consumer-permanent-lights brand: adhesive mounting that doesn't survive Colorado weather.
The catch is the mounting system Enbrighten ships in the box. The kit comes with adhesive-backed clips and a polymer mounting rail, designed to mount to your fascia or soffit with adhesive. In a controlled climate, that works. In Denver — with 300 days of UV exposure, 50-degree daily temperature swings, hail, and a snow load that can sit on your roofline for days — adhesive-only installs typically fail within one to two seasons.
When the adhesive fails, the lights don't just look bad. They hang off the eave by the wiring. The bulbs can detach. You end up on a ladder in November fixing what should have been a one-time install.
That's the problem a professional Enbrighten install solves. Same lights, same app, same brightness — different hardware underneath.
What Makes Our Enbrighten Installs Different
We use a commercial-grade aluminum channel track that comes from the architectural lighting industry — the same hardware category used in high-end landscape and soffit lighting. Here's what that means in practice:
- Mechanically fastened to the soffit. Stainless screws into the soffit substrate, not adhesive-only. The channel is anchored the way trim is anchored — it doesn't fall off because we didn't ask it to stick.
- Every wire fully concealed. The channel has a cavity behind a snap-on cap. Every Enbrighten wire, every connector, every pigtail tucks inside. From the ground looking up, you don't see wiring.
- Color-matched to your fascia. The channel is powder-coated to match your existing trim color. From the street in daylight, it reads as a thin trim line — not a light installation.
- Enbrighten bulbs seated inside the channel. Each bulb seats inside the channel profile. The lights look architectural during the day and project cleanly at night.
- HOA-friendly by design. Because the install is invisible during the day, the same architectural review committees that reject clip-on Christmas lights approve permanent lights installed in channel. We've broken down the specifics in our HOA approval guide for Denver Metro.
What Enbrighten Installation Actually Costs in Denver
Our pricing is flat per linear foot, and we publish it openly because we're tired of the "request a custom quote to find out we're 2x" game that some installers run.
The price above is for labor and aluminum track hardware. You purchase the Enbrighten lights yourself directly from GE / Jasco or your retailer of choice — typically $400 to $750 depending on which model and how many feet your home needs. We tell you exactly how many feet of lights to buy and which model fits your home before you order.
Which Enbrighten Model Should You Buy?
Enbrighten offers Eternity Eave Lights and Eternity Accent Lights. Eave version (16-inch puck spacing for tight perimeter looks) and Accent version (4-foot spacing that blends with existing can lighting). For most Denver Metro homes, the Eave version is the right pick for traditional Christmas-light perimeter looks (16-inch puck spacing matches the spacing most homeowners visualize). The Accent version (4-foot spacing) is the right pick if you have existing can lights and want a sparser, blended look.
We install Eave and Accent. We'll help you pick the right one based on your roofline length, how you plan to use the lights (warm white year-round, holiday color scenes, sports team programming), and your budget.
What a Enbrighten Install With Us Looks Like
Most residential Enbrighten installs are completed in a single day. Here's what happens:
- Free quote. You send us your address (and a roofline photo if you have one). We confirm linear footage from satellite imagery and reply with a flat quote within 24 hours, usually same-day.
- You order your Enbrighten lights. We tell you exactly which model and how many feet to buy. You order direct from GE / Jasco or your retailer of choice, and the lights ship to your house.
- HOA submission (optional). If you're in a covenant-controlled community, we prepare the architectural review packet — hardware specs, daylight reference photos, color-match plan — and you submit it to your HOA. We can respond directly to the committee if they have questions.
- Install day. Most homes take 6 to 8 hours. We mount the aluminum channel, run all wiring concealed, install the Enbrighten bulbs, configure the app on your phone, and do a walkthrough.
- You own everything. The lights, the channel, the install. Enbrighten's manufacturer warranty stays in your name. No dealer lock-in.
Denver Metro Service Area
We're based in Aurora and serve homes across the Denver Metro area within roughly a 50-mile radius. Each city has its own dedicated page with neighborhood-specific notes:
Not on the list? If you're within reasonable driving distance of the metro — Broomfield, Thornton, Arvada, Lone Tree, Greenwood Village, Cherry Hills Village, the Pinery, Castle Pines — get in touch. We routinely serve the full Front Range.
How we approach brand choice. Most permanent-light installers in Denver are locked into a single proprietary system — Trimlight, EverLights, Oelo, Gemstone. Their dealer agreement requires them to push that one brand whether or not it's the best fit for your home. We install consumer-permanent-light brands (Govee, Enbrighten, and others) because you own them directly, you're not stuck with a dealer warranty, and the install hardware is what actually matters anyway. Govee is our most-recommended brand for most homes — but if Enbrighten is the right fit for your situation, we install it the same way.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who installs Enbrighten permanent lights in Denver?
5280 Lights installs Enbrighten Eternity across Denver Metro using commercial-grade aluminum channel track. We serve Denver, Aurora, Centennial, Highlands Ranch, Parker, Littleton, Castle Rock, Englewood, Lakewood, Westminster, and the surrounding Front Range communities.
How much does it cost to hire someone to install Enbrighten lights?
Professional Enbrighten permanent light installation in Denver Metro runs $15 to $18 per linear foot, with an $850 minimum. A typical 180-foot two-story home runs $2,700 to $3,300 all-in for labor and aluminum track hardware. Enbrighten lights themselves are purchased separately by the homeowner.
Why hire a pro instead of installing Enbrighten lights yourself?
The Enbrighten DIY kit ships with adhesive clips and a polymer rail. In Colorado weather (UV exposure, 50-degree temperature swings, snow and hail), adhesive-only installs typically fail within one to two seasons. Professional installation uses commercial aluminum channel track mechanically fastened to your soffit, with fully concealed wiring — the same hardware approach HOA architectural committees approve.
Do I buy the Enbrighten lights myself or do you supply them?
You buy the Enbrighten lights directly from GE / Jasco or your retailer of choice. We supply and install all professional-grade aluminum mounting track and hardware. This keeps your manufacturer warranty held directly with GE / Jasco and gives you the option to upgrade or swap models later without dealer lock-in.
Can you install Enbrighten lights on brick, stucco, or vinyl siding?
The aluminum channel mounts to your soffit substrate, not to the siding face, so the siding material itself doesn't matter for the install. We've installed permanent lights on homes with brick, stucco, vinyl, fiber cement, and traditional wood siding. What we look at is the fascia and soffit construction — and Denver Metro homes are almost always compatible.
How long does the install take?
Most single-family residential Enbrighten installs are completed in a single day, typically 6 to 8 hours. Larger or more complex homes (multi-story with detached structures, custom gables, very long roofline runs) can take a second day.
What's your warranty?
Our installation labor is warrantied for one year. The aluminum channel hardware carries its own manufacturer warranty. The Enbrighten lights themselves carry GE / Jasco's standard manufacturer warranty, held in your name directly with the manufacturer — we don't get between you and the manufacturer on product issues.
