Our product
What Number One Lights brings to your home
We lead with our install standard and ecosystem, not a spec sheet battle. These are the pillars every Number One Lights project is built around.
- 01
24V Premium architecture
Engineered for long rooflines and stable brightness, with a system mindset instead of chasing the lowest upfront number on smaller wire gauges.
- 02
Singular LED modules
Replace one node when you need to, instead of wrestling with long string sections when a segment fails or ages differently.
- 03
IP68 nodes and a certified control path
Outdoor-rated hardware and a wet-location-aware control approach designed for real Alberta seasons, not just a brochure photo.
- 04
GOULY app: 1000+ designs and 100+ animations
One integrated control experience with presets, schedules, and effects built for the same ecosystem as your hardware.
- 05
Hat Track and colour-matched installs
Architectural track options and colour matching that are meant to disappear into the roofline when the lights are off.
- 06
Calgary-area team, GOULY’s 15+ year track record
We install in Calgary and the surrounding area. The GOULY platform itself has been operating for 15+ years, so you get local execution on a mature ecosystem, not a one-off mix of random parts.

Ask every bidder to put scope in writing so you are not comparing two different systems by accident.
