Washington State L&I — Know the Law
The Landscaper Installing Your Christmas Lights Could Be Breaking the Law
Washington State Department of Labor & Industries (L&I) is unambiguous: custom, field-fabricated permanent electrical lighting systems — the kind hardwired into your home's roofline and connected to a dedicated circuit — constitute electrical work. That work requires a licensed electrical contractor and certified electricians. Period.
Unlicensed landscapers and handymen who install permanent lighting systems are operating illegally in Washington State. If something goes wrong — a fire, an arc fault, a water intrusion — your homeowner's insurance may deny your claim because the work wasn't performed by a licensed contractor. You could be left holding the bill on your own home.
The Lifestyle Upgrade
Never Climb a Ladder Again
Every year, the Consumer Product Safety Commission reports tens of thousands of ladder-related emergency room visits during the holiday season. Homeowners climbing extension ladders on wet, November-grade Pacific Northwest rooflines to hang temporary strands that will burn out in two weeks.
Permanent architectural lighting ends that ritual entirely. Once REC installs your system, you open an app. You tap a color. Your home transforms — instantly, safely, from inside your warm house.
No extension cords snaking across your lawn. No tangled strands in a bin in your garage. No burned-out sections that make half your roofline go dark. No crews on your roof every November and January.
Just your home, looking exactly the way you want it, 365 days a year.
16M+ Colors
Change your home's look with a single tap.
The Math
Seasonal Installer vs. Permanent System
By year five to eight, your permanent system has fully paid for itself in cash savings — and then produces decades of free enjoyment on top of that.

The Real Estate Angle
Professional outdoor lighting can recoup up to 70% of its cost in immediate home equity.
Strategic architectural lighting can increase a home's perceived resale value by 5% to 20% compared to identical, unlighted homes. It's one of the highest-ROI exterior improvements a homeowner can make.

The Sustainable Lighting Choice
80–90%
Less energy than incandescent
Commercial-grade LEDs draw a fraction of the power of old-fashioned holiday lights. Running our system for six hours a day costs approximately $4–$5 per month versus $40–$50 for traditional incandescents.
50,000
Hour LED lifespan
That's 15–25 years of use. Traditional temporary strands last 1–3 seasons before burning out and heading to a landfill. One permanent install eliminates decades of waste.
Zero
Landfill waste per year
Every strand of temporary lights your neighbors throw away ends up in a landfill. Permanent architectural LEDs are the sustainable, waste-free alternative.
The System
How It's Built
We install commercial-grade, waterproof LED track directly into your roofline, eaves, or architectural features using a discreet flush-mount channel. By day, the hardware disappears against your fascia. By night, it's pure light — crisp, vivid, and perfectly aligned with your home's lines.
Each fixture is wired back to a dedicated electrical circuit in your home's panel — a clean, hardwired installation that meets Washington State L&I code and can only be done legally by a licensed electrical contractor like REC.
The system connects to your home's Wi-Fi and pairs with an app. Change colors, set schedules, create custom patterns, or let it run on automatic holiday themes — all from your phone, anywhere in the world.
