See how lighting beneath the eaves highlights rooflines, brings out exterior textures and adds definition after sunset.
What Is Soffit & Architectural Lighting?
Soffit lighting is installed beneath the eaves, along the underside of your roof’s overhang. Depending on placement and the lights selected, it can illuminate the wall below and outline the edges of your home.
Architectural lighting highlights a building’s shape and features, such as gables, rooflines and covered entrances. Accent lighting draws attention to selected details. A permanent roofline lighting system can serve all three purposes.
From older Buffalo homes with detailed trim to brick and siding exteriors in Amherst, Clarence and Orchard Park, each property calls for a different layout. WNY Lights plans placement around your roofline, mounting surfaces and the features you want to emphasize.
Two Lighting Systems. Two Different Finishes.
Crystanite LED Lights
Crystanite uses color-matched aluminum track to hold the LEDs and conceal wiring beneath the roofline. Its fitted finish suits homeowners who want lighting that blends with their exterior during the day.
Dedicated warm-white LEDs provide everyday architectural lighting, with color-changing settings for special occasions.

Govee Pro uses individual fixtures with connecting cable, attached beneath suitable eaves. The lights create a scalloped pattern on the wall below, with adjustable warm- and cool-white settings alongside color effects.
It offers a smaller upfront investment, with more visible fixtures and cable during the day.

Rooflines & Gable Peaks
Define the shape of your home by lighting front-facing peaks and selected roofline sections. Continue across garage gables or side elevations for a more complete look.
Brickwork, Siding & Trim
Light falling from beneath the eaves can reveal texture and detail on the exterior below. Placement, spacing and brightness all influence the finished effect.
Covered Entrances & Porches
Add a welcoming accent around the roofline above your entrance or porch. Choose a soft white setting that complements your existing porch and landscape lighting.
Set Your Everyday Look. Change It When You Want.
Choose a white-light setting and brightness that suit your home, then schedule when the lights turn on and off. An understated evening look can become Bills colors for game day or a seasonal display for Christmas.
WNY Lights installs and tests your selected system, then walks you through the app so you can adjust your lighting with confidence.
