Overview
Why permanent Remembrance Day lights
Remembrance Day deserves a thoughtful, dignified display. Our free pattern repeats red, red, purple, green across your roofline — the colours of the poppy. It's a quiet, powerful tribute visible from the street that honours those who served. No flashing, no chase effects — just steady, respectful light.
Remembrance Day is unique among holidays for permanent lighting because the goal isn't celebration — it's tribute. The poppy pattern uses the actual colours of the Flanders poppy: red for the petals, purple for the centre, and green for the stem. When this pattern runs across your roofline, it creates a quiet, powerful statement visible from the street. Neighbours and passersby recognize it immediately. It's one of the most meaningful things you can do with your permanent lighting system.
The GOULY app includes a purpose-built Remembrance Day poppy pattern available for free download. Unlike other holiday patterns, this one is intentionally static — no flashing, no chase effects, no breathing. The steady, unwavering light reflects the solemnity of the occasion. We recommend running it at 70-80% brightness for a warm, respectful glow rather than full intensity.
Many of our customers schedule the poppy pattern to run from November 1st through November 11th, then transition to warm white or directly to Christmas patterns. This gives the tribute a proper window of visibility without rushing into holiday mode. Some homeowners choose to run a simpler all-red display, which is equally respectful and immediately recognizable.
Permanent lights are the ideal medium for a Remembrance Day tribute because the display requires zero setup and zero takedown. You're not climbing a ladder in November to hang red lights for 11 days. You're not draping temporary lights that look sloppy or disrespectful. Your permanent system delivers a clean, professional, dignified display that honours the occasion perfectly — and removes itself quietly when the tribute period ends.

Each strip below shows how the LEDs repeat across your roofline. Wider segments represent brighter or more prominent nodes.
Flanders Poppy
StaticThe signature Remembrance Day pattern. Two red petals, one purple centre, one green stem — the colours of the poppy in a dignified, steady display.
Solid Poppy Red
Static · 70-80% brightnessAll red across the entire roofline. Simple, powerful, and immediately recognizable as a tribute. Run at 70-80% brightness for a warm, respectful glow.
Field of Poppies
StaticHeavy red with green dividers — like looking across a field of poppies from above. More red than the standard poppy pattern for maximum visual impact.
Purple Heart
StaticPurple and red alternating in equal measure. Honours the purple poppy tradition and creates a rich, solemn palette.
Candlelight Vigil
Static · 60% brightnessMuted red with dark gaps between clusters. The spacing creates a candlelight effect — individual points of light in the darkness, quiet and contemplative.

The permanent advantage
Why permanent beats temporary
A Remembrance Day tribute deserves dignity, and temporary lights can't deliver it. Clip-on lights droop, tangle, and look careless — the opposite of the respectful display the occasion deserves. A permanent system provides a clean, professional poppy pattern that appears at sunset on November 1st and quietly transitions away after November 11th. No setup, no takedown, no effort — just a steady, beautiful tribute that honours those who served. It's the kind of display that makes neighbours stop and reflect, and it happens automatically every year.
Scheduling tip
Schedule the poppy pattern to run from November 1st through November 11th. A quiet tribute that runs without any attention or effort.
