Light Up Game Day in Team Colors

Homeowners across Grand Rapids and West Michigan can switch to team colors before kickoff, no ladders or clip-on lights.

Can my permanently installed lights really switch to my team's colors before every home game? Yes. The same permanently installed system Great Lakes Permanent Lighting uses for holiday and security lighting switches to any team's colors at the touch of a button, with no clip-on strands, no ladders, and no takedown.

Game day lighting is for West Michigan homeowners who host tailgates, watch parties, or simply want to show team pride without re-decorating every week. Great Lakes Permanent Lighting serves Grand Rapids and West Michigan, including Caledonia, Wyoming, Byron Center, Holland, Kentwood, Jenison, and Hudsonville. Once your system is installed, you pick the palette, whether that is deep blue and maize or green and gold, and switch it from a controller or app before kickoff. On Monday, go back to warm white, or swap to holiday and patriotic looks whenever you like. One installation covers every occasion. What sets the finished look apart is how it starts: every install begins at the roofline peak, using a supplier-patented, pre-marked centering method so every light line is perfectly symmetrical. That precision is something DIY clip-on strands cannot match.

How a Game Day Lighting Install Works

  1. Schedule a free on-site consultation
  2. Design your color layout and confirm team palette
  3. Professional installation starting at the peak using the patented centering method
  4. System synced to app or controller for instant color switching
  5. Game-day activation: switch to team colors before kickoff
  6. Year-round use: swap back to holiday, patriotic, or accent lighting anytime

Most game day lighting installs are completed within a single appointment window once scheduled. Response time for scheduling a consultation is separate and may vary by season.

Pricing depends on roofline length, fixture spacing, and the number of color zones you want to control.

Game day lighting cost comes down to a few concrete factors: the total linear footage of roofline and eaves being lit, the number of independently controllable color zones (more zones means more precise team-color switching but added cost), any permanent lighting already in place from a prior installation, and site-specific factors like roof height or access.

Game Day Lighting Questions

  • Can the system really show my exact team's colors?

    Yes — the permanently installed LED system supports a wide range of color combinations, so dialing in your team's specific shades is straightforward. You switch colors through a controller or app, meaning you can go from team colors on Sunday to warm white accent lighting on Monday with no physical changes to the lights.

  • Do I need a separate system just for game day lighting?

    No — that's one of the core advantages of a permanent installation. The same system used for holiday, Halloween, patriotic, and security lighting handles game day displays as well. You're investing in one professionally installed setup that serves every occasion throughout the year.

  • Will the lights look centered and even on my roofline?

    Great Lakes Permanent Lighting starts every install at the peak of the roofline using a supplier-patented, pre-marked method specifically designed to keep every light line perfectly centered. The result is a clean, symmetrical look whether the lights are showing team colors or any other setting.

  • How far in advance do I need to book before the season starts?

    Availability can fill up as football and basketball seasons approach, so reaching out early is a good idea. Great Lakes Permanent Lighting serves Grand Rapids and surrounding West Michigan communities — call (616) 286-4315 or email to check current scheduling and get on the calendar before your first home game.
