More than just holiday lights. Oelo is a system.
And every system needs a CONTROL BOX .
The Oelo control unit provides power for up to 300 lights and provides the signal that regulates Oelo’s infinite lighting functions (for up to 6,000 lights).
THE ULTIMATE CONTROL
With Oelo, you can control the color and movement of EVERY individual LED light in the system. What's next? World domination?
It's our LED LIGHT COVERS that set us apart.
Our system's LED components are housed in acrylic or steel LED light covers. These covers create Oelo's seamless appearance along your structure's roofline, can be cut to size for modular design and feature a variety of mounting configurations to create different lighting effects that most other permanent holiday lighting systems can't create. Our patented acrylic cover delivers a bump-free look, while our long-lasting steel option is a favorite for commercial projects.
AVAILABLE IN AN ARRAY OF DIFFERENT COLORS
Our LED light cover is available in acrylic or steel!
Truly the best PERMANENT HOLIDAY LIGHTS on the market.
Unlike other permanent holiday lights, Oelo is the only multi-color system that lets you mix and match infinite color options while adding movement to create your own custom lighting programs. With the app, you can save your favorite patterns for ease, and you can set your system to turn on (and off) by itself for added convenience. Choose from our in-range standard app, or upgrade to Oelo’s cloud-based option.
CREATING A COMMERCIAL LOOK
With the app, you can create sections of color (or add gaps in your structural lights) to deviate away from traditional holiday lighting for a commercial look.
