Permanent LED lights offer millions of colors (full RGB spectrum), individually controllable per node. Create solid colors, alternating patterns, gradient fades, chase effects, twinkle, and breathing modes. Every scene saves in the app and can be scheduled to change automatically by date.
The color capabilities
Modern permanent lighting uses RGBW LED nodes: RGB (Red, Green, Blue) — by mixing at different intensities, the LED produces any visible color. Millions of combinations. +W — a dedicated warm white LED that produces a natural warm white (2700K–3000K) matching the cozy glow of traditional incandescent bulbs. This is the white you'll use most.
Scene ideas by season
Everyday (Year-Round): Warm White Glow (every node on warm white, 7 PM to midnight — most-used scene), Soft Amber (slightly warmer, golden tone, cozy and inviting), Cool White (brighter, cleaner white for security or modern architecture).
Christmas: Classic White (all warm white, timeless, most popular), Red & Green Traditional (alternating red and green, evenly spaced), Candy Cane (red and white alternating with slow rotation), Christmas Gradient (slow fade from red to green to gold), Warm Gold (rich amber-gold, elegant).
Halloween: Orange & Purple (classic pairing), Orange Pulse (solid orange with slow breathing), Spooky Flicker (random orange and white flickering like candlelight).
Fourth of July: Red, White & Blue (alternating sections), USA Chase (red, white, and blue chasing along the roofline).
Game Day: Husker Red (solid Nebraska red, automatic with Haven Game Day), Iowa Black & Gold, Chiefs Red & Gold, any team's colors.
Other: Valentine's Pink, St. Patrick's Green, Easter Pastels, Thanksgiving Amber, Birthday Colors, Wedding/Event colors.
