Yule Love Lights vs Jellyfish Lighting: A Long Island Comparison

If you’re weighing Jellyfish Lighting against Yule Love Lights for permanent, app-controlled roofline lighting on Long Island, here’s the short answer: both put individually addressable RGB LEDs on a discreet track along your roofline that you run year-round from a phone app, so the core product experience is similar. The real difference is the service model. Jellyfish is a national brand sold and installed through a network of local dealers, while Yule Love Lights is a single Long Island company that designs, installs, and services its own permanent LED systems across Nassau and Suffolk. Below is an honest, installer’s-eye look at how that distinction plays out for a homeowner here.

What “permanent roofline lighting” actually is

Before comparing brands, it helps to know what category we’re in. Permanent exterior lighting is a track of individually addressable LEDs mounted along your roofline that stays up all year and hides in plain sight during the day. From an app, you can run warm white most evenings, switch to red, white and blue for the Fourth of July, orange for Halloween, or full multicolor for Christmas, without anyone climbing a ladder again. Jellyfish, Trimlight, and Gemstone are all professionally installed permanent track-LED brands sold through dealers, and they all do this core job. (This is a different product from Govee, which makes DIY adhesive strip lights you mount yourself.) Yule Love Lights installs a permanent system in the same category, with its own hardware and its own crews.

The hardware: what Yule Love Lights installs

Because we can only speak to our own specs with certainty, here’s exactly what a Yule Love Lights permanent system uses:

• Individually addressable LEDs with dual diodes per bulb (RGB plus a dedicated 3000K warm white), so warm-white evenings look genuinely warm rather than a fake white blended from colored diodes.
• A 40-inch color-matched aluminum track mounted beneath the fascia, flush with the soffit, with no holes drilled in your gutters.
• Power injected every 75 bulbs so color and brightness stay consistent across long Long Island rooflines.
• UL- and ETL-certified components, IP67 waterproof rating, and a low-voltage design (a transformer plugs into an outdoor GFI outlet).
• Wi-Fi and Bluetooth cloud-app control for scenes, zones, and schedules.

An IP67 rating means the LEDs are fully sealed against dust and protected against water immersion, which is the level of sealing you want on a fixture living outside through Long Island winters, spring thaws, and humid Augusts.

The bigger difference: who stands behind the install

With any national brand, including Jellyfish, you’re really buying two things from two different companies: a product made by a manufacturer, and an install performed by whichever local dealer holds your territory. That can work out very well, especially with a strong, established dealer. But it does mean the product warranty and your day-to-day service experience come from separate parties, and a warranty is only as useful as the local crew still around to honor it.

Yule Love Lights is structured the opposite way. We’re a family-owned Long Island company, and the same team designs your system, climbs your ladder, and comes back if a section needs attention. There’s no manufacturer in one state and a dealer in another to coordinate between when you need help in January.

Local credentials that matter on a roof

You’re letting a crew onto your roof and into your electrical, so credentials are not a formality. Yule Love Lights is CLIPA-certified (Christmas Light Installation Professionals Association), fully insured with certificates of insurance available on request, and 5-star rated. We’ve been featured in Newsday, 1010 WINS, iHeart Radio, and News12 Long Island. We work Long Island roofs every week, so we account for coastal wind, ice, freeze-thaw, and steeper older rooflines because we live in the same weather you do.

Warranty and ongoing service

Our permanent systems carry a limited lifetime product warranty. For homeowners who want everything covered long-term, we offer an optional Glow365 plan that bundles product, labor, and repairs with a 48-hour response commitment. On the seasonal side, our Stay-Lit Guarantee means if something fails we fix it fast, within 48 hours. Whatever a national-brand dealer offers, the questions to pin down in writing are the same: does the warranty cover parts only or parts and labor, for how long, and who pays for the truck roll when something fails after year one?

What it costs

We publish real numbers. A Yule Love Lights permanent LED system typically runs $2,500 to $9,000 for small-to-medium homes, depending on roofline length and complexity. Larger or more intricate homes run higher. If you’d rather not commit to a permanent system, our seasonal Christmas light installs start around a $1,000 minimum (pricing rises closer to the holidays as the calendar fills). Either way, you get a real walkthrough and a real number, not a mystery quote. We won’t list competitor pricing here, because permanent-lighting cost varies by dealer and home, and we’d rather you confirm any brand’s quote directly than rely on a number we can’t verify.
