EverLights Cost Per Foot: Kit Prices and How Pros Price It

What do EverLights kit prices work out to per foot?#

$13.92 to $21 a foot at list, and $11.13 to $16.80 on sale, for the DIY ClickLights bundles. The longer the kit, the cheaper the foot:

Look at the steps. Every extra 50 ft adds $625 at list, which is $12.50 a foot. Take one step off the 50 ft bundle and $425 is left, the exact list price of the ClickLights Starter Kit in the accessories shop. So the store prices work like a formula: $425 fixed, plus $12.50 per foot. The sale prices are the same formula at 20 percent off ($340 plus $10 a foot). That is our arithmetic on their list, not a formula EverLights publishes.

That split matters because it is the same shape as a rate card. The fixed part is the controller side: the 100 ft bundle page lists a wireless receiver, a Smart Bridge, a 24V power supply and the leads and cables to connect them. The per-foot part is the light strands, aluminum channel and caps. Price them the same way: a per-foot rate by run type, and the controller as its own line.

The bundle page lists five channel colours (White, Black, Musket Brown, Pebblestone Clay, Dark Bronze). The bridge alone lists at $194.52 and the 24V power supply at $115 in the accessories shop, which is useful when a long house needs a second power supply.

How do installers build an EverLights price per foot?#

Start from your real product cost, add the job, and price the hard feet higher. In order:

1. Product cost per foot. Your dealer sheet if you have one. If not, the store list ($12.50 a foot plus $425 fixed) is your ceiling.
2. Labour per foot by run type. Roofline, ridge line, peak and jump are not the same feet. Peaks mean mitres at the apex and two extra ladder moves. Jumps carry wire and no lights.
3. Premiums. A pitch premium on peaks, a storey premium on upper runs.
4. Controller and power as lines. Bridge, receiver, power supply, and any extra power booster on a long run.
5. Minimum job and deposit. A 40 ft porch still costs a truck, ladders and an app setup.

Here is how those land on GlowBid's default rate card. These are starting numbers that every installer replaces with their own.

EverLights runs in an aluminum channel, so it belongs on a track line. One flag: the starter kit lists at $425, above the $250 default controller line. If you carry EverLights, set the controller add-on from your own cost for the bridge, receiver and power supply. The full method behind each line is in how to price permanent Christmas lights per foot.

Worked example: a 150 ft bungalow at $4,316.80#

A single-storey bungalow with one front gable, lit on the front and both sides. Measured from the installer's own photo with the 16 ft garage door as the reference: 126 ft of roofline, two 12 ft peaks, two short jumps. That is 150 lit feet, which happens to match a 150 ft ClickLights bundle. Photo footage is an estimate; it gets confirmed on site before channel is cut. Priced on GlowBid's default track line.

That is $28.78 per lit foot, all in. Want your own house in feet by run type? Draw it in the free roofline tool and price it against any card.

Now hold it against EverLights' public product prices. The bundle includes the bridge, receiver and power supply, so it stands in for the controller line as well.

The last row is the trap. Add a 10 percent buffer to 150 ft and the order is 165 ft, which no 150 ft bundle covers. Buy kits at retail and a $25 card gets thin fast. A dealer price sheet changes all three rows, which is why your sheet, not the store, sets your rate. The permanent lighting profit margin page works three jobs through to net.

What does the EverLights warranty do to your price?#

It makes the service call after year one yours. The Limited Warranty page says the warranty runs 1 to 10 years depending on product and install method, with the year tables in two schedules by install date (before and after July 2025). It covers no labour, for installation or anything else, and it recommends that owners get a labour warranty from a third-party installer, together with a maintenance contract. Transfer to a new owner needs registration within 90 days of purchase. Claims go in within 30 days of finding the problem. Installing without EverLights' own bridge, receivers, power boosters and connectors voids it.

The short versions on other EverLights pages do not agree with each other. The home page lists one year of labour and five years of parts among ClickLights features. The 100 ft bundle page says three years on parts in its feature list and one year on equipment in its FAQ. Get the term for your install in writing before it goes on a quote.

How we would handle it: print the parts term EverLights confirms, print your own labour term next to it, and keep a service call rate on the card. The service call and repair pricing page has the rate structure.

How does that compare with brands that publish a price?#

It sits right inside them. Trimlight's pricing page gives $18 to $35 per linear foot installed. JellyFish's gives about $25 to $35 a foot at its corporate locations, plus a $650 to $850 controller. Our bungalow at $28.78 a foot is inside both. Every brand's number, with dealer quotes, is on the permanent Christmas lights cost page, and the brands side by side are in the permanent lighting brands comparison.

For homeowners: reading an EverLights quote#

A fair quote shows its parts. Ask for five things:

• Footage by run type. Roofline, peaks and jumps, each with its own rate. You can check the feet yourself from a photo.
• The controller as a line. The bridge, receiver and power supply are real parts with real prices.
• Power points. EverLights' own cost article names power as a cost driver. Ask where the power comes from and whether an outlet is extra.
• The warranty, split. Parts years from EverLights, labour years from the installer, and who you call.
• Registration. Who registers the system, and when. Transfer needs it inside 90 days.

The gap between the kit price and the quote is labour, ladders, the setup and the installer's labour warranty. On a single-storey 150 ft house, that gap is about $2,000 on GlowBid's default rate card.

Mistakes and edge cases#

• Pricing from the sale tag. The 20 percent sale is a promotion. Build the card on list, or on your dealer sheet, and treat a sale as margin.
• Forgetting the buffer crosses a bundle size. 150 lit feet plus 10 percent is 165 ft. That is the 200 ft kit, and $625 more at list.
• The $250 default controller on an EverLights job. The starter kit lists at $425. Set the add-on to your real cost.
• One power supply on a long run. EverLights' cost article says bundles carry one to three power boosters by length. More feet, more power lines on the quote.
• Quoting the older article prices. The January 2025 article and the store list different numbers. Quote the store, with the date.
• Promising EverLights covers the labour. It does not. Your labour term is your promise.
• Measuring from a satellite view. Gables shrink from above, and the imagery is not yours to measure. Use your own photo with a known length, and confirm on site.
• Canadian jobs off US store tags. The store shows dollar prices with no currency note. Confirm currency and shipping with EverLights before you build a CAD rate, and charge GST or HST (13 percent in Ontario) on the installed price.

Catching the bundle-size trap before you order#

The trap in the worked example, 150 lit feet becoming a 165 ft order, is the kind of thing that only shows up if footage and materials come from the same place. In GlowBid you draw the runs on your own photo, set the scale from a known length, and the footage, the bill of materials and the price all come from that one drawing, with your materials buffer (default 10 percent) applied to the order, never to the price. Set EverLights up as its own product line with your controller add-on at your real cost for the bridge, receiver and power supply, not the $250 default, and with the parts and labour terms you confirmed. Every measurement carries a source tag and a confidence level, and the quote says photo footage is an estimate confirmed on site. The homeowner e-signs on their phone and pays the deposit by card through Stripe; GlowBid adds a platform margin under 1 percent on top of Stripe processing, shown before you connect. Prices start at $69 a month or $299 a year on the pricing page, with a 7-day trial (no card) and a 30-day money-back guarantee on a first yearly payment.
