What Affects the Cost?
Several factors determine the final price of your permanent lighting installation:
- Total linear footage
- Roofline complexity
- Installation difficulty
- 5-year parts and labor warranty on new installations
- Integration with landscape lighting
- System quality (track vs no track)
Budget vs Premium Systems
Lower-cost permanent lighting systems are often surface-mounted and may not include a concealed track. That can mean visible hardware, uneven lighting, and a shorter useful life.
DIY systems like Govee fall into the budget category and are not designed for long-term architectural lighting.
Budget Systems
- Lower upfront cost
- Visible wiring or components
- Uneven lighting output
- Ask for the LED rating in writing
- Ask what the warranty covers and for how long
JDM Lighting
- Concealed aluminum track
- Smooth architectural wall wash
- Long-life LEDs
- 5-year parts and labor warranty
- Premium finish

Cost Over Time
Ask what is covered if a section fails, and get the answer in writing. A lower upfront price can still mean later repairs.
Higher Maintenance
Frequent repairs and service calls add up over time.
Replacement Costs
Ask what replacement looks like. JDM does not publish a year count for either system.
Appearance
Visible degradation affects curb appeal and home value.
JDM Lighting quotes each home individually. The system uses long-life LEDs and is low maintenance. We do not publish a per-year cost comparison.
