Clear Choice does not price your project based only on the square footage of your home. We review the actual roofline being illuminated, measure the required linear footage and account for peaks, corners, elevation changes, access, power requirements and lighting zones. You then receive one project price for the approved lighting design.
Choose your approximate home style and whether you want front-only, extended or full-perimeter lighting.
Provide the address and photos—or arrange an on-site visit—so the proposed lighting area can be measured.

Your installation brings together the LEDs, track, wiring and controls below. See how the Prairie Lighting system works as a whole.
Dedicated RGB colour plus true warm-white lighting for architectural, seasonal and year-round use.
Low-profile aluminum track selected to blend into your soffit, fascia or roofline.
Outdoor-rated low-voltage wiring and system connections installed for a clean, permanent finish.
Prairie 30mm Pro LEDs are sealed against water and dust for reliable year-round outdoor use in Nanaimo’s wet coastal climate.
A professionally sized 24V power supply and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth smart controller are included with the approved installation.
The system is measured, planned and installed for your specific roofline.
Control individual zones, colours, brightness, schedules, patterns and saved scenes from your phone.
1-year workmanship, 10-year parts, lifetime bulbs.
This is usually the largest pricing factor. A longer roofline requires more pixels, aluminum track, wiring and installation time. A sprawling rancher in Cedar may need more total footage than a compact two-storey home, even when their interior floor areas are similar.
A simple straight bungalow roofline is less involved than a house with multiple peaks, gables, corners and transitions. Custom homes around Hammond Bay can include layered rooflines that require more detailed planning and track transitions.
Two-storey sections, steep grades and hard-to-access rooflines can increase installation requirements. Sloped lots and ocean-view properties around Nanoose Bay may require additional access planning even when the illuminated roofline is not especially long.
Front-only installations are the most affordable. A homeowner may choose the street-facing roofline only, while a corner lot in Parksville or a home with visible side elevations may benefit from extended coverage around the property.
Control components are planned for the approved layout. Large Two-Storey / Custom and Estate / acreage back and full coverage amounts already include the second controller.
Many homeowners choose to illuminate only the front elevation of their home, as this provides the highest impact for curb appeal and architectural aesthetics. Front-only installations are more affordable and create a polished look from the street. Full-wrap or extended installations are ideal for properties where multiple sides of the home are visible—such as corner lots in Parksville—or where backyard illumination is desired.
Even if two houses share the same square footage, their rooflines can be vastly different. A straight roofline requires fewer lights and less installation time than a home with multiple dormers, gables and garage returns. Differences in upper-storey peaks, side-yard access and lot grade can produce different quotes for homes that appear similar from the street.
Permanent outdoor lighting costs more upfront than traditional seasonal Christmas lights, but it eliminates the need to repeatedly install, remove and store temporary lights.
The same system can also be used year-round for warm-white architectural lighting, holidays, birthdays, game days and custom colour scenes.
Permanent lighting is not automatically cheaper in the first year. Its value becomes clearer over time because homeowners avoid repeated installation and removal charges while gaining warm-white architectural lighting and programmable colour lighting from the same system.
