Continuous LED Roofline Lighting (No Dots)

Continuous-line lighting: one unbroken line, no dots

Continuous-line lighting is one unbroken line of light behind a diffuser, with no visible dots. Every permanent-light brand sold in the OKC metro, including Trimlight, JellyFish, Oelo and Gemstone, uses rows of individual bulbs. A continuous line reads as part of the architecture instead. We mount it in an aluminum channel on the fascia or soffit, never the shingles.

Also called: dotless lights, seamless LED roofline, LED neon roofline, neon flex, COB strip lighting, linear lighting.

Dots or a line

Up close, a row of bulbs is a row of dots, and from the street it reads as decoration. A continuous line traces the shape of the house the way an architect would draw it. It's bright and festive when you want color, and quiet when it's warm white.

How it's built

The light: a silicone neon-flex or COB strip, rated for wet locations (IP67), behind a diffuser that hides every LED.
The mount: an aluminum channel on the fascia or tucked into the soffit, with sealed end caps and drip loops at every cut.
The white: a warm 2700 K at CRI 90+, so stone and brick look like themselves.
The color: on the roofline it's addressable, with a light point about every 2 inches, so color flows instead of stepping.

Where it looks best

The street-facing front, where it gets seen (our Signature tier)
A whole house, corner lots and long ranch rooflines (our Estate tier)
Gable and rake outlines, pergola beams, columns and entries
Code-restricted neighborhoods like Nichols Hills, where warm, shielded light is the rule

Brightness depends on the strip

Every continuous strip looks continuous, but they are not equally bright. Cheaper COB strip gives the same smooth look with far less light, and output varies a lot from one supplier to the next. We use high-output strip and list its rated output (lumens per foot) on your quote, so you can compare.

A continuous line is mainly about how the line looks. If what you want is light washing down the walls, node lights under the eave do that better. That is why many homes pair a continuous line across the front with nodes on the sides (our Signature tier). See dots vs a continuous line.

What it costs

It's $100 a foot, or $85 a foot for our first 10 founding homes. That's more than color nodes ($32 a foot) because we use high-output strip that puts real light on the house, and the strip, the channel and the power work take more time. One price per foot covers the design, the parts and the install. Many homes put the line only across the front and use nodes on the sides. Your night mockup shows both, with a price for each. See pricing.

Continuous-line lighting: questions

Do continuous LED lights show dots?

No. The LEDs sit behind a diffuser, so you see one smooth line of light, even up close.

Is continuous-line lighting more expensive than permanent node lights?

Yes. A continuous line is $100 a foot ($85 for our first 10 founding homes), and node lights are $32 a foot ($27 for founding homes). You can put the continuous line only across the front and use node lights on the rest of the house to keep the cost down.

Is a continuous line as bright as permanent node lights?

Not always. Brightness depends on the strip. Cheap COB looks continuous but puts out much less light. We use high-output strip and put its rated lumens per foot on your quote. Node lights are better at washing light down the walls.

Can a continuous line change colors?

Yes. On rooflines it's addressable, so it can show any color, color bands for holidays, and effects that flow along the line.

Does it hold up to Oklahoma weather?

The strip is rated for wet locations and sits in an aluminum channel under the roof edge. Every cut is sealed. Like anything on a roof edge, a damaged section is replaced on its own.
