What permanent outdoor lighting means
The short version: an LED system that lives on the house, left in place, controlled from your phone. Where string lights come and go, this lives on the house. The LEDs sit inside a track matched to the color of your trim or fascia, so the daytime look of the house does not change much.
The usual places it gets mounted
Most installs follow the roofline, then pick up gables, dormers, porch edges and columns as the design calls for it. Businesses use it the same way, along facades and entries, often in company colors. A design should trace the shapes the building already has, not fight them.
What you can do with it
You run it from your phone. Pick a color, pick a pattern, schedule it to come on at dusk, then leave it alone. Most homeowners find a warm white they like and leave it there most of the year, then change it for holidays and events. One install covers the holidays, the everyday, and seeing your own driveway at night.
Residential and commercial use the same idea differently
Residential work comes down to curb appeal and usable light. On a commercial building, the brief changes: a business wants to be found at night, and it wants the building to look open. A storefront lit in brand colors is legible at a distance.
What to ask before you sign
Find out who is coming to the house. Ask to see a plan drawn for your roofline, not a stock photo. Ask what happens a year later when something needs a look. Those three answers separate one quote from another more reliably than the price does.
Where permanent outdoor lighting is not the answer
Not every house should get this, and a good installer will tell you so. If you are moving within the year, the math is different. A dark walkway is a landscape lighting problem, no matter how good the roofline looks. And if you are not really a holiday lights household, seasonal lights are the better answer. The point of the free consultation is to work out which of these you

Ask how it is mounted and where the wire runs, because that is the part you cannot see from the ground. A clean install stays clean. A rushed one shows in daylight, which is the opposite of the point.
Who tends to be happy with it
It fits best for people who use the outside of their house, or anyone who has run out of patience with seasonal strands. If you are thinking about it, start with a design for your specific roofline.
