Permanent Lighting in Forest Hills, TN
On Forest Hills lots, most of them one to two acres, Permanent Lighting Solutions sells permanent LED roofline lighting, and our installers mount it in a color-matched aluminum channel that runs along each roof edge of the house.
Forest Hills is a small residential city of steep, wooded hills, and a roofline lit from end to end shows between the trunks from the road. Here, the permanent LED roofline lighting goes into a low-profile track tucked under the eave, fitted by licensed, insured and certified installers. It runs warm white on an ordinary night and changes to a holiday color from the app on your phone.
Who should a Forest Hills estate call for permanent roofline lighting?
The call goes to Permanent Lighting Solutions. On lots of one to two acres, our installers fit a color-matched aluminum channel along each roof edge and touches only the fascia or soffit, so the stone walls and old trees are not disturbed. Up to 4 controllers share one account, and the estimate is free.
Estates, subdivisions and the lots they left
In Forest Hills, Tudor Revival and Colonial Revival houses stand on Hillsboro Pike, and International Style houses from the 1930s stand on Stanford Drive and Chickering Road: three styles with very different roof edges, so the channel is cut and mitered to whichever edge each house actually has. Farther north, the same pike runs through Green Hills toward the streetcar-era houses of Hillsboro Village.
Most homes sit on parcels of one to two acres, so a house can stand well back from the road, and an unbroken lit run along the eave is what reads from the street. The City of Forest Hills counts hundreds of homes built since 1970 beside its 1930s estates and 1950s subdivisions, and whatever roofline is there gets the track, with the lit run following each gable and corner from end to end. In daylight the track itself is a thin strip beneath the eave. You can see finished examples in the gallery.
The channel on Forest Hills estates
Estates from the 1930s
A large estate roofline means more channel and more corners to miter. A second controller can join the first on one account (up to 4 controllers), so the property acts as one system. Garages, wings and zone layouts for estate rooflines get a fuller treatment on their own page.
Subdivision homes from the 1950s
In Tyne Meade, Harpeth Valley and Chickering Hills, the 1950s subdivision homes each have their own fascia, rake board or soffit, and the channel is fitted to whichever one a house has, its finish chosen to match the trim.
Hillside houses on wooded lots
On steep, wooded ground the land under an eave is not always level, so reach gets noted at the measure. The lit line matches a flat lot, and the pricing page covers what shifts on a hillside job.
Stone walls and big trees
Only the channel is fixed to the house, which leaves the stonework and the trees alone.
Red and green on Forest Hills rooflines
At Christmas in Forest Hills the same roofline lights are set to a December scene, in red and green or any color you choose in the app. The presets come ready-made, and holiday looks can be booked weeks ahead, so a schedule does the work once the app control is set up. For this year's parades, Cheekwood dates and the best drives near Forest Hills, see our Forest Hills holiday lights guide.
Permanent outdoor lighting in Forest Hills
The system is a color-matched aluminum channel under the roof edge, with the lights seated inside it and one controller indoors. Mounting is to the fascia or soffit alone, so the gutter and the roof are never drilled, and the lights are rated for roughly 50,000 hours. The care page says what is covered and what upkeep looks like.
Questions from the wooded Forest Hills lots
Who installs permanent roofline lighting in Forest Hills?
Permanent Lighting Solutions does, through our installers, in the City of Forest Hills, Tennessee: a channel matched to the house trim, lights seated inside it, one controller indoors. An install usually takes 8 to 10 hours, and each system has the manufacturer's 5-year product warranty and our installers' workmanship warranty. The roofline runs warm white most nights and takes a color from the app when you choose.
Does a house set back on an acre or two still show from the road?
At 72 lumens a light, the unbroken run outlines the house from far down the street, and the app dims it for quiet nights. See how bright they are.
Do the trees and stone walls on a Forest Hills lot get disturbed?
No. The install touches only the fascia or soffit, so walls, trees and gardens stay as they are. The care page says why nothing goes through the roof.
How much electricity does a big estate roofline use?
Every light draws under one watt, and color draws less than bright white. The electricity page works out kilowatt-hours for rooflines of 100, 150 and 200 feet.
