Permanent, Christmas and landscape lighting in Saxonburg, PA

Saxonburg was laid out by John Roebling before he built the Brooklyn Bridge, and Main Street still looks the part. We are about 20 miles and half an hour away, lighting the historic core and the newer neighborhoods around Knoch.

Stone home with warm architectural uplighting and landscape wall lighting by Thraxel

Saxonburg is a borough with a real Main Street, and the homeowners here care how it looks in daylight as much as after dark. That is why the permanent system is a good match. The track is color-matched to the trim of a 19th-century frame house or a stone Victorian and sits flush under the eave. From the sidewalk at noon there is nothing to see. From the sidewalk at 6 p.m. in December there is a lot to see.

Beyond the historic core the borough and the surrounding Clinton and Jefferson townships are mostly newer single-family homes on larger lots, with the Knoch schools as the center of gravity. Those properties have deep soffits, stone veneer and long driveways, so the design conversation usually covers landscape uplighting and entry lighting alongside the roofline.

We are about 30 minutes out from Kittanning, which puts Saxonburg comfortably inside the daily route. Consults are free, the driveway demo case comes along so you can see the RGBWW color on your own siding, and the render of your house is back inside 48 hours. Tyson handles the visit, the quote and the install, and the crew is the same brothers who ran 160 Glow.

Why Saxonburg homes are a good fit

Older homes with ornate trim reward a careful install. Individually addressable pixels let us light a gable, skip a dormer and pick the peak back up on the far side, so the line follows the architecture rather than fighting it. The 2700K warm-white diode matters here too. Historic trim in a cold RGB fake-white looks wrong. In true warm white it looks like the house always had it.

Butler County gets a real winter, and Saxonburg sits high enough to catch it. The strip is sealed in IP67 silicone on 16-gauge wire and has been salt-tested. Snow load, ice and wind are within the rating, and the 3-year parts and 1-year labor warranty back that up.

FAQ

Before you book in Saxonburg

Yes, and it is one of the better uses for it. Thraxel mounts color-matched aluminum track tight against the existing fascia or trim on Saxonburg's older frame and stone homes, so there is no visible hardware by day and no staples, clips or nails in the woodwork. The 2700K warm-white diode gives a period-appropriate glow, and the render mock-up shows the exact look before any track is cut.
Saxonburg is about 20 miles and roughly 30 minutes from Thraxel's headquarters in Kittanning, Pennsylvania. That distance is well inside the daily route the crew runs across the 16xxx ZIP codes, so there is no travel charge for a consultation, an install or a service call in the borough or the surrounding townships. Quotes are free and property-specific.
Yes. Every seasonal Christmas install in Saxonburg includes takedown, which starts January 4 as weather permits. The crew removes the lights, labels each run by location, packages everything and stores it off-season so it is ready to go back up the following November. In-season service is included too, with a visit within 24 to 48 hours for any problem, at no charge.
Thraxel covers permanent lighting parts for 3 years and labor for 1 year. The components are UL, ETL and CUL certified, and because each pixel is individually addressable, a failed one is identified by number from the controller and swapped, typically the same day. Qualifying buyers can also spread the cost over 24 months at 0% APR. Tyson can walk through both at the consult, 724-859-4390.
