What are Can Lights/Recessed Lights?

Recessed lights, also known as can lights, are a sleek solution for soffit lighting for those looking for a discreet yet impactful lighting solution. These lights are housed in a cylindrical can that fits seamlessly into the ceiling, making them almost invisible until switched on. The trim around the edge of the can allows you to match your fixtures to the aesthetic of your home, offering both practicality and elegance.

The Best Bulbs for Permanent Soffit Lighting

LED bulbs are especially efficient bulb solutions for permanent soffit lighting. They last longer than traditional bulbs and are far more energy-efficient, saving you both time and money.  LED bulbs convert more energy into light rather than heat, making them cool to the touch and significantly reducing the risk of fire. LEDs are also incredibly durable, performing well in cold temperatures and under frequent on-off cycling.

With JellyFish Lighting our proprietary LED bulbs are attached to tracks that are color-matched to your home so they blend in seamlessly with your home’s exterior and are discreet from the street. Once the permanent soffit lights are installed, you can explore hundreds of thousands of color combinations, creating a warm, secure, and inviting glow across your entire property. Through the JellyFish app, you control exactly which lights turn on to highlight home exterior features. You can also create a custom color of white to match existing fixtures, or choose one of our presets from warm to stark white (2700K, 3000K, 3500K, 4000K, or 5000K.)

How Can Soffit Lighting Be Used Outside?

Permanent soffit lights can be used for a variety of outdoor applications like holiday lighting, accent lighting, and security lighting.The downlighting effect highlights walls and unique home features and efficiently illuminates yards, making it a versatile choice for any exterior lighting need.

Holidays and Celebrations

Uplighting vs. Downlighting

- Downlighting: Perfect for illuminating home architecture, porches, and yards. 

Consider using a mix of both to achieve the best lighting effects for your property. JellyFish Lighting offers multiple styles of landscape and pathway lights, as well as patio and eave lights. 

Security and Accent Lighting

Effective security lighting is essential for protecting your home. Well-lit exteriors deter potential intruders and make it easier to spot and stop threats. A comprehensive security system, including motion sensor lights and automatic timer lights, enhances safety and raises your property's value.

Floodlights, with their wide beams, are particularly popular for security purposes. They provide ample lighting to large areas, ensuring no corner of your yard remains in darkness.
