North York Homeowners! Your Dream Lighting Awaits :)

Drive through Willowdale or Bayview Village, and you'll see a common pattern. Post-war bungalows are coming down, and large modern homes are going up. Many new North York homes have clean lines, stucco or stone exteriors and a minimalist look where every detail is deliberate.

On a home like that, lighting should look designed, not added on. Sempra Illuminations installs Celebright permanent holiday lighting in North York as a precise, continuous line of light. It suits contemporary architecture on everyday evenings and switches to full colour for the holidays.

Sempra is based just north in Richmond Hill and serves homeowners across North York.

Lighting That Suits Modern Architecture

Contemporary homes depend on crisp lines, and the lighting should reinforce them:

• One continuous line. Frosted bulbs in a straight aluminum track create an even line of light that follows your roof edge cleanly.

• Hardware that matches. Modern homes often use dark or bold trim colours. With more than 100 aluminum colours, the track can match black, charcoal, bronze or whatever finish your builder chose.

• A true warm white. Each bulb has a dedicated white LED, which gives the clean warm white that suits contemporary exteriors better than a mix of RGB colours.

• No visible clutter. Where possible, wiring runs through the attic, so nothing distracts from the façade.

Established Homes Too

Not every North York home is a new build. The borough grew rapidly after the Second World War. Many neighbourhoods still have their original 1950s and 1960s bungalows and split-levels, alongside later two-storey homes. These rooflines are often long and low, and they can look very striking when lit.

Don Mills, Canada's first planned suburban community, has distinctive mid-century modern homes, some with flat or butterfly roofs. These designs need a closer look. We'll assess each home's fascia and roof edges during the estimate and tell you honestly what's possible.

North York Neighbourhoods We Serve

Sempra serves homeowners throughout North York. That includes Willowdale, Bayview Village, York Mills, Hoggs Hollow, the Bridle Path, Don Mills, Lansing, Newtonbrook, Armour Heights, Clanton Park and Bathurst Manor.

In Bayview Village, most original homes were built between 1954 and 1965, and many have since been replaced with large custom homes. York Mills and the Bridle Path have large homes on wooded lots near the Don Valley ravines.

We also serve the rest of Toronto, plus Thornhill, Richmond Hill and Vaughan just to the north.

North York Permanent Lighting FAQs

Our new custom home has a modern design. Will permanent lighting look out of place?

Not when it's designed properly. A single continuous line of warm white along the roof edge tends to reinforce modern architecture rather than compete with it. We match the track to your trim and plan the layout around the home's key lines.

Our Don Mills home has a flat roof. Can you install permanent lighting?

It depends on the home. Celebright mounts along the fascia and roof edge, and flat, parapet or butterfly roof designs vary a lot. We'll assess your home during the estimate and let you know whether it's a good fit before anything is installed.

We're building a new custom home. When should we plan for lighting?

The system is installed on the finished exterior, so it's usually added once the fascia and trim are complete. It's helpful to mention lighting to us early, though, so we can discuss the layout and track colour while you're choosing exterior finishes.

Can the system follow a complex roofline with multiple levels?

Yes. We design each layout around the specific home, and with 11 track profiles available, we can adapt to different roof edges. We'll focus on the lines that define the home from the street.

How do we get an estimate?

Estimates are free. In many cases, we can take measurements from Google Maps. For homes on wooded ravine lots, a site visit may be more accurate, and we're happy to arrange one.
