Borealis Lights vs. Govee

1. Designed for Your Home—Not Just the Length of Your Roofline

Every home is different. Roof peaks, soffits, corners, architectural details and changes in elevation all affect how permanent lighting should be installed.
Govee lighting is sold in predetermined kit lengths. While the system can be adapted to many homes, the homeowner is responsible for measuring, planning the layout, managing connections and determining how to handle areas where the lighting does not fit perfectly.
With Borealis Lights, your system is designed around your home.
We consider the architecture, roofline, exterior finishes and desired lighting effect to create a layout that looks intentional and balanced. The result is a customized lighting installation that complements your home rather than looking like a product added after the fact.

2. Professional Installation Creates a Cleaner Finished Look

Installing permanent outdoor lighting can involve working at height, measuring long rooflines, navigating corners and ensuring that every section is straight, secure and evenly positioned.
A DIY installation may save money upfront, but it also puts the planning, installation and finishing work in your hands.
Borealis Lights handles the complete installation process. Our team installs your lighting with careful attention to placement, alignment and overall appearance, helping create a clean, polished result that looks great when the lights are on—and remains discreet when they are off.
You get to enjoy the finished product without spending your weekend on a ladder.

3. Your Lighting Should Look Beautiful Every Day of the Year

Permanent lighting is about much more than Christmas.
With Borealis Lights, you can create elegant everyday exterior lighting, celebrate holidays, show support for your favourite team, add colour for special events or create a welcoming atmosphere for family and guests.
Choose warm white lighting for a classic architectural look, then change the colours and effects whenever the occasion calls for something different.
From subtle and sophisticated to bright and festive, your lighting can change with the season—without changing the hardware.

4. Local Service Makes a Difference

When you purchase a DIY lighting kit, you are responsible for much of the installation, setup and troubleshooting. If you experience an issue, support may involve online resources, manufacturer assistance or replacing components yourself.
Borealis Lights is a local lighting company—not just an online product.
We are available to answer questions, help you understand your system and provide professional support when needed. You have a knowledgeable team that understands your installation and is invested in helping you enjoy your lighting for years to come.

5. A Complete Solution Instead of Another DIY Project

Govee may be a suitable option for homeowners who enjoy DIY projects, have the tools and experience to complete the installation and are comfortable managing future maintenance themselves.
Borealis Lights is built for homeowners who want the benefits of permanent lighting without taking on the work.
We take care of the design, planning, installation and setup so you can focus on enjoying the results.
• No complicated layout planning.• No measuring and remesuring.• No climbing ladders.• No guessing where lights should be placed.• No settling for a one-size-fits-most installation.
