Experts in residential permanent roofline lighting
Manta Permanent Lighting installs a single, roofline-mounted lighting system built specifically for homes across Central Illinois. Unlike seasonal string lights or fixed landscape lighting, our system is a true permanent outdoor lighting solution, mounted directly to your home's roofline and controlled entirely from your phone.
It handles every occasion your home needs: holiday displays, everyday accent lighting, security lighting, and game day colors, all from one installed system built to last 20+ years.
How Manta's Permanent Lighting System Works
Every light on your home connects to one system, controlled from an app on your phone. Schedule it to turn on automatically at sunset, or take over manually anytime you want to switch things up for a holiday, a game day, or just a different mood.
Set a single clean color, or build a fully custom display. Our installers walk you through the app and how everything works before they leave, so you feel confident in customizing your home and settings.
Millions of colors and patterns
Over 1,000 built-in presets to start from and millions of combinations to create your own.
Individual light control
Every single bulb can be part of its own pattern, not just one setting for the whole house.
Brightness adjusts independently
Change the brightness without touching the color. Set the mood precisely.
Right on cue, every night
Scheduled years in advance and adjusted automatically as sunset shifts through the seasons, so your lights come on the second the sun goes down, every single time.

FAQs
Answers to the questions we hear most from our neighbors.
Pricing starts at $1,750. Every home is different, and not every project is a full house. Some homeowners choose accent lighting, a backyard, the front only, or porch lighting, so your final quote depends on the size and scope of what you want lit. The best way to get an accurate number is a free demo.
Yes, we offer flexible financing and you can apply in minutes.
Every install is backed by a 1-year installation warranty covering parts and labor, followed by a 5-year system warranty covering parts. It's built to back a system designed to last 20+ years.
One install replaces buying, hanging, and taking down lights every year. The system pays for itself within a few years of holiday use alone and keeps going for 20+ years after that.
It's a step up in almost every way. More lights, brighter output, and far more customization than a home kit offers. The tracks are also color-matched to your soffit so they disappear into your home during the day, with no visible wires. And once it's installed, upkeep is on us, not you. It's a system built to work for the next 20+ years instead of something you're replacing every couple of seasons.
There are over 1,000 built-in presets to start from, plus millions of color and pattern combinations if you want to build something fully custom.
