A stone house at dusk, with blue pixels highlighting the roofs and gables

System · Pixel

The Pixel.
Each dot, a color.

Points of light along the roofs, gables, and cornices. Each one controlled individually—16 million colors, hundreds of effects, and a warm white for all other evenings.

Stone chalet with gables and roof edges accented with warm white pixels

The roof outline, in dots

The Pixel follows the lines of the house—ridge, gables, cornices, porch ledges—with a light every 20 cm or so. Mounted in an aluminum track beneath the soffit, it disappears during the day and outlines the building’s silhouette at night.

Facade illuminated in blue; scene color selected in the app

Each dot has its own color

Every pixel is individually addressable: alternating red and green for Christmas, orange and purple for Halloween, the team’s colors on game night, a running light display for a party—and warm white every other night. Over 1,200 effects in the app, or create your own.

Applications

Where the Pixel Makes a Difference.

Anywhere you want to see the roofline—and change its color.

Roofs and GablesThe outline of the house, sketched out.

Cornices and galleriesUnder the soffit, invisible during the day.

Garage and ShedAs an extension of the facade.

Holidays and SeasonsChristmas, Halloween, Canada, National Day.

ShopsStorefronts, signs, restaurant facades.

Multi-family housingOne controller, multiple zones.

Installation

How is it installed?

By a certified installer, in one day for most homes.

Sketch and mockup

A photo of the facade, a diagram of the areas to be lit, and a simulation to see the result before placing an order.

Aluminum rail

The track is mounted under the soffit or on the cornice, in a color that matches the house. It is what makes the system invisible during the day.

Pixels and Wiring

The pixels snap into the rail. Low-voltage wiring runs to the controller, located in the garage or an outdoor enclosure.

Commissioning

Zones, scenes, and schedules configured in the app with you. You'll walk away with full control—whether in the cloud or on-premises.

Frequently Asked Questions

What people are asking us about the Pixel.

All FAQs

Pixel or COB: Which One Should You Choose?

Pixel lighting produces distinct dots—visible, festive, each dot its own color. COB lighting produces a continuous line, without dots, with a more architectural look. Many homes combine the two: COB on the cornices, Pixel on the gables. The integrator will show you both in a mockup.

Can you tell during the day?

The rail is the same color as the soffit, and the pixels are recessed into it. You can't see anything from the street. That's exactly why the system stays in place year-round.

Is white really white?

Yes. The Pixel has a dedicated white LED in addition to red, green, and blue—warm white isn't a mix of colors; it's true white, comparable to a high-quality recessed light.

How much does it use?

A typical light fixture—112 pixels by 75 feet—draws about 150 W at full brightness in cool white, which is less than two traditional recessed lights. In color mode, it uses even less. Just a few dollars a month.
