Permanent St. Patrick's Day Lights in Albuquerque
Shamrock green and pot-of-gold accents that show up for March 17 with a single tap.
St. Patrick's Day Lighting Without the Ladder
St. Patrick's Day is a fun excuse to go green, and in March it is a welcome sign that spring is on the way. With permanent lights, your roofline can turn emerald for the week without anyone climbing a ladder during spring wind season.
It is popular with homes and with restaurants and pubs that want to draw a crowd on March 17. The same track that runs warm white every other night switches to green, gold and white whenever you choose.

St. Patrick's Day Patterns to Try
Emerald Roofline
A solid, rich green across the whole roofline. Simple, striking and easy to recognize from the street.
Pot of Gold Chase
Green with small gold accents traveling along the eaves, a playful look that kids love.
Pub Night Storefront
For businesses, a green and white pattern on the storefront fascia to signal the celebration from the parking lot.
Scheduling Tip: Set It and Forget It
Set it in February and forget it. Schedule green to start a few days before March 17 and run from sunset to late evening, then hand off automatically to warm white or to pastel Easter colors. With spring winds picking up in March, you will be glad nothing needs to be hung.
St. Patrick's Day Lighting FAQs
Can businesses use St. Patrick's Day lighting?
Yes. Restaurants, bars and retail storefronts often use holiday scenes to attract attention. We install commercial systems with zones so you can light a storefront, patio or sign band independently. See our restaurant and retail lighting page for more details.
Do the lights hold up in March winds?
The track is mechanically fastened and sealed, not clipped on like temporary strands, so it stays put during Albuquerque's spring wind season. That is one of the biggest advantages over hanging seasonal lights in March. There are no loose strands to flap, tangle or fall into the yard.
Can I pick a specific shade of green?
Yes. The app lets you choose from preset colors or fine-tune your own, so you can go deep emerald, bright kelly green or anything in between. You can save your favorite as a scene and reuse it every year. The same goes for gold accents and any other color you add.
Will a green roofline look good on a pitched metal roof?
Yes. Green reads well against the silver and charcoal tones of Northern New Mexico metal roofs, and the track follows the eaves and gables for a crisp outline. On stucco homes, the earth tones of the walls warm up the green slightly, which many people find especially attractive at dusk.
