Security
Adding light to any home deters crime. Light also helps security cameras pick up better images. Integrate with Alexa, Google Home, Control4 or Nice/Elan security systems so lights turn on when a person is detected.

Why communities choose Happy's
Safety
Happy's Lighting illuminates walkways and stairs to expose tripping hazards like ice and debris. It also replaces temporary holiday lighting, keeping everyone safely off the roof and ladder.
Nearly invisible when off
The track color is matched to the home and installed under the eaves behind the trim with the lights sitting flush. The track encases all wires and jumps are made through attics to prevent visible exterior wires.
Holiday lighting
Easy transition from white security/accent lighting to holiday lighting, then back to accent/security lighting after the holidays.
Advanced scheduling
Plan months ahead with the calendar. Activate nightly, synced with sunset to sunrise, or at static times – so lights are never left on in the daytime.
Complete control
Customize which lights are on and what color. Control the front separately from the back patio so the front stays on accent/security lighting while the back is on colors for special occasions.
Quick facts
- Discreet from the street. Track color is matched to the color of the home and is installed under the eaves behind the trim.
- No visible exterior wires. Tracks encase all wires and jumps are made through attics.
- Light bulbs are clear, similar in size to a quarter with a white backing, spaced every 9 inches. Bulbs sit flush with the track and trim, extending only ¼ inch.
- Each color has a unique kelvin; the off-white accent lighting setting is 2,700K.
- Bulb brightness is 21 lumens or lower, depending on the color of the light.
- Accent & security features replicate traditional soffit/uplighting. Happy's Lighting is bright enough to replace traditional soffit lighting.
- Low voltage (48 V DC) and UL/ETL listed; controller and power supplies are indoors.

Have questions?
A few of the questions we hear most. See the full FAQ page for more.
Can you do warm white?
Yes. You can choose or create your own color temperature to match existing fixtures. Presets are available for 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, 4000K and 5000K, and you can dial in anything in between.
What sort of maintenance is required?
Practically none. From time to time a single light may need replacing. The system is low voltage so homeowners can swap a light themselves, or we will come out and do it for you.
Where are the controller and power supplies installed?
Indoors – typically on a wall in your garage or basement, safe from the weather, plugged into a standard outlet. One controller can power up to about 300 ft depending on wiring. From there we run low-voltage wire to the soffit of the first roof section; no exterior boxes or extra outlets.
Will my HOA allow permanent lights?
In almost every case, yes. The color-matched track sits under the eave behind the trim and is nearly invisible during the day, and the warm-white accent setting looks like traditional soffit lighting. We provide an HOA fact sheet on request – see For HOAs.
