Heartland Holiday Lights installs permanent smart lighting for homes and commercial properties across Council Bluffs, Omaha, and Western Iowa.

Holiday Lights You Never Take Down.
Everyday Lighting You'll Never Turn Off.
Discreet LED lighting is installed permanently in a low-profile channel along your roofline, color-matched to your trim. You can't see it during the day. At night, it's anything you want: classic warm white every evening, red and green for Christmas, red-white-and-blue on the Fourth, orange for fall, your team's colors on Saturday. All from an app, all scheduled in advance, all without anyone ever climbing a ladder again.
Invisible by Day
The low-profile channel is color-matched to your trim, so most visitors never notice it until it's on.
Any Color, Any Night
Millions of colors and pre-built holiday scenes. Warm white tonight, red and green in December, team colors on Saturday.
Set It and Forget It
Calendar scheduling means your house decorates itself, every holiday, automatically.

December looks like this.
January, you tap one button and it's warm white again.
Pick the Style That Fits Your Home
Permanent lighting isn't one product. It's three distinct looks. We'll recommend the right one during your free design.
Most popularSeamless Glow
A continuous ribbon of light with no visible bulbs at all, by day or by night. The cleanest, most architectural look permanent lighting can produce.
Classic Points of Light
Individual points of light tracing your roofline. The look most people picture when they think of permanent holiday lighting. Every point is its own programmable color.
Everyday Downlight
Soffit-style downlighting that doubles as security and curb-appeal lighting every single night, then switches to full holiday color on demand.

Your House Knows
When the Huskers Score.
Haven's Game Day technology connects your lighting to live sports. Pick your teams in the app, and your home automatically lights up in team colors before kickoff, celebrates every score, and glows in victory after the win.
Nebraska red on Saturdays. Hawkeye black and gold. Your call.
One App. Your Whole Property.
Landscape Lighting
Color uplighting for trees, architecture, and entryways. Same app, same scenes.
Backyard & Patio
Bistro lights, hardscape, and pool areas that come alive at the tap of a button.
Connect What You Already Own
Haven's smart transformer can bring many existing low-voltage landscape lights into the same app, so your current lighting joins the system instead of getting replaced.
Permanent Commercial Lighting That Works Every Night
Restaurants, bars, dealerships, retail, churches, HOAs, apartment communities, and venues: brand colors every night, game-day and holiday scenes on schedule, multi-zone control, and no seasonal installation cycle. Installed and supported locally.
Dealerships & Showrooms
Permanent lighting turns a dark lot into a showcase every night, and flips to seasonal color without a single ladder.
Bars, Restaurants & Patios
Ambience that brings people in: bistro lights, accent color, and game day scenes that match what's on the TVs.
