Light up your home in Cleveland Cavaliers burgundy, navy, gold, and black. Free downloadable pattern for the GOULY app, colour palettes, NBA playoff ideas, and complete setup guide.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are back and so is the energy. Wine and gold have been synonymous with Cleveland basketball for decades, and the current squad is giving fans every reason to light up. Permanent outdoor LED lights let you turn your roofline into a Cavs statement on game night, through the playoffs, and any time you want to show your loyalty from the street.

This guide covers the best Cleveland Cavaliers outdoor light designs for permanent lighting systems, the exact colour setup, how to load our free Cavs pattern into the GOULY app, and ideas for game nights, NBA playoffs, and year round team pride.

For a quick look at how app controlled patterns work, explore our Designs page and the live GOULY app preview.


Why Cavs fans light up the roofline

Cleveland runs deep no matter where you live. Whether you are repping the Cavs from Alberta, the midwest, or anywhere in between, permanent outdoor lights make it effortless to show your colours. A burgundy, navy, and gold glow on the eave line after dark is the kind of statement that gets the whole block talking on game night.

Permanent outdoor LED lights with RGBW control make it effortless:

  • Switch to Cavs colours in seconds from any other scene
  • Schedule game night lighting to turn on an hour before tip off and off after the final buzzer
  • Music sync your lights to the arena energy during watch parties
  • Switch back to everyday white the next morning with one tap
  • Playoff mode: leave them on all night during a deep run. Let the neighbourhood know you believe

Cavaliers lights by home style

Two storey / traditional

The four colour pattern creates dynamic rhythm across multiple roofline levels. The gold pops against the darker burgundy and navy on each peak.

Modern / flat roof

Navy dominant with gold accents. The dark tones read architectural against modern siding and flat lines. Clean and intentional.

Bungalow / ranch

One continuous roofline means every colour in the four colour sequence is visible from the street. The gold stands out beautifully in the repeating pattern.

Large home / acreage

Multiple zones: full four colour on the main house, navy only on the garage, gold accent on entry features.

Setting up your Cavs scene takes less than two minutes:

  1. Open the GOULY app and tap your connected lighting system
  2. Tap Pattern to open the pattern library
  3. Scan our free QR code (above) to load the Cavaliers burgundy, navy, gold, and black pattern instantly
  4. Adjust brightness to 85 to 95 percent. The gold really pops at high brightness
  5. Set a schedule for game nights so your lights turn on automatically before tip off
  6. Save to a folder called "Cavaliers" so you can activate it with one tap all season

Pro tip: create a second scene called "Cavs Playoff" with fast chase enabled for postseason games.


Beyond game night

Your Cavaliers scene does not have to wait for game night:

  • Draft night: Light up when the Cavs make their pick
  • Season opener: Wine and gold from opening night through the first week
  • Playoff run: Leave them on 24/7 during a deep run
  • NBA Finals: If they make it, your house is the watch party destination
  • Off season: Switch to everyday warm white or your next holiday scene

Transition ideas after basketball season:

  • Cavs burgundy and gold → warm white (clean neutral look)
  • Cavs colours → Canada Day red and white (July 1 transition)
  • Cavs colours → Cleveland Browns orange and brown (football season)
