The best Los Angeles Chargers outdoor light designs for permanent lighting systems: navy, yellow, and black colour patterns including our signature 1 Navy, 1 Yellow, 1 Black pattern, game day scheduling tips, and a free QR code download for the GOULY app.

The Los Angeles Chargers have one of the sharpest colour palettes in the NFL: powder navy, bolt yellow, and black. On permanent outdoor lights, that combination creates a display that is electric, dramatic, and impossible to ignore. Deep navy and bright yellow nodes glowing through dark gaps where lights are turned off. It looks like a lightning bolt struck your roofline. This is Chargers football, and it belongs on your house.

This guide covers the best Los Angeles Chargers light designs for permanent lighting systems, including our signature 1 Navy, 1 Yellow, 1 Black pattern (available as a free download), app setup tips, and game day ideas for every Chargers fan.

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


Why the Chargers colour palette looks electric on permanent lights

Navy and yellow is already a high-contrast combination. Add dark gaps and it becomes something special.

  • Yellow is a showstopper. Bolt yellow (#FFC20E) is one of the brightest, most vivid colours you can produce on RGBW LEDs. It cuts through the night and demands attention. When it sits next to dark navy and black gaps, it practically glows.
  • Navy adds depth. The deep navy (#002A5E) grounds the display and creates a cool anchor between the bright yellow and the dark gaps. It reads as intentional and sophisticated, not flashy.
  • Black gaps create lightning. Using off (black) nodes as every third position creates spacing that makes the lit nodes hit harder. The pattern of bright-dark-bright along the roofline creates a visual rhythm that feels electric.
  • It is unmistakably Chargers. Navy and yellow with dark gaps does not read as any holiday or generic colour scheme. It is football, it is LA, it is Chargers.

The Los Angeles Chargers colour palette for permanent lights

The official Los Angeles Chargers colours translated to your RGBW permanent lighting system:

ColourHex codeGOULY app settingRole in pattern
Chargers Navy#002A5EDeep navy blue, 100% brightnessPrimary colour, cool and grounding
Bolt Yellow#FFC20EBright yellow, 100% brightnessAccent colour, maximum visibility and energy
Black#000000Node off, 0% brightnessCreates dramatic spacing between lit nodes

The navy and yellow combination is already high-contrast. The off nodes amplify that contrast by creating breathing room that makes every lit node punch harder.


Top Los Angeles Chargers light patterns

These are the most popular Chargers-inspired designs homeowners run on permanent lighting systems:

1. The 1 Navy, 1 Yellow, 1 Black (our top pick)

The signature Los Angeles Chargers pattern. One navy node, one yellow node, one dark node, repeating across the entire eave line. The gaps give the pattern a sharp, electric feel.

  • Pattern: Navy, Yellow, Off, Navy, Yellow, Off (repeating)
  • Mode: Static
  • Best for: Every home style. The dark gaps keep it clean and dramatic on any architecture.
  • App setup: Set a repeating 3-node pattern: Navy at 100 percent, Yellow at 100 percent, Off (black/0 percent)

This is the pattern we recommend to most homeowners. The dark gaps between the navy and yellow create a bolt-like rhythm that is pure Chargers. Download it free below.

2. Navy and yellow alternating

Simple two-colour alternation without the dark gaps. Every other node switches between navy and yellow.

  • Pattern: Navy, Yellow, Navy, Yellow (repeating)
  • Mode: Static or slow chase
  • Best for: Homes with shorter eave runs where the 3-node pattern does not get enough repetitions
  • App setup: Two-colour alternating pattern, both at full brightness

3. Bolt strike chase

The full navy, yellow, black palette with a fast chase animation. The colours streak along the roofline like a lightning bolt.

  • Pattern: Navy, Yellow, Off (repeating)
  • Mode: Fast chase at 1 to 2 second speed
  • Best for: Longer rooflines where the motion effect is visible and dramatic
  • App setup: 3-node repeating pattern with fast chase animation enabled

4. Yellow dominant with navy accents

A mostly yellow roofline with every third node set to navy. Maximum brightness and visibility with Chargers identity.

  • Pattern: Yellow, Yellow, Navy (repeating)
  • Mode: Static
  • Best for: Homeowners who want the brightest possible display
  • App setup: 3-node repeating pattern with yellow dominant

5. Playoff blackout

Navy and yellow nodes with every other node turned off. Maximum drama for playoff games and deep runs.

  • Pattern: Navy, Off, Yellow, Off (repeating)
  • Mode: Static or slow pulse
  • Best for: Playoff games, especially elimination rounds
  • App setup: 4-node repeating pattern with alternating lit and dark nodes

Pro tips for Chargers game day lighting

  • Yellow at full brightness. Bolt yellow is the star of this display. Keep it at 100 percent for maximum pop.
  • Navy at full brightness. The deep navy needs full output to read clearly from the street at night.
  • Do not light the black nodes. The dark gaps are essential. They create the electric, bolt-like rhythm that makes this pattern special.
  • Fast chase for touchdowns. Keep your lights on static during gameplay, then switch to fast chase when the Chargers score. Your house celebrates with you.
  • Save two scenes. Create a "Chargers Game Day" scene (static) and a "Bolt Strike" scene (fast chase) in the same folder.
  • Turn them on early. Set your Chargers scene 30 to 60 minutes before kickoff. Let the neighbourhood know where your loyalty stands.

Game day lighting schedule ideas

Smart scheduling means your lights are game-ready before you even put on your jersey:

ScenarioSchedule suggestion
Regular season home gameTurn on 1 hour before kickoff, off at midnight
Regular season away gameTurn on at sunset, off at midnight
Playoff gameTurn on at noon, keep them on all night after a win
Chargers vs Raiders or ChiefsTurn on at dawn. Rivalry day. All day. All night.
Off-seasonSwitch to warm white or summer colours, Chargers folder stays saved
Super BowlTurn on a week early. Leave them on.

Hosting a Chargers watch party

Your permanent lights set the atmosphere before anyone arrives:

  • Exterior presence. Navy and yellow glowing through dark gaps across your roofline tells arriving guests they are in Chargers territory. Your house is SoFi Stadium South.
  • Backyard screen nights. Projecting the game outside under Chargers-lit eaves with the SoCal evening air creates a watch party atmosphere no sports bar can match.
  • Pair with interior lighting. Set smart bulbs inside to yellow and navy for a fully immersive game day experience.
  • Touchdown mode. Switch from static to fast chase when the Chargers score. Bolt up.

Beyond game day: seasonal transitions

Your Chargers folder lives in the GOULY app alongside every occasion. Natural transitions from Chargers colours:

  • Chargers to warm white (everyday curb appeal between games)
  • Chargers to Lakers purple and gold (swap navy for purple when basketball tips off)
  • Chargers to Dodgers blue and white (swap yellow for white when baseball starts)
  • Chargers to summer teal and warm white (shift the palette for a coastal SoCal vibe)
  • Chargers to Christmas (swap navy for green, swap yellow for red)
  • Chargers to Halloween (swap navy for purple, keep the yellow and dark gaps)

One tap to switch. No ladder, no clips, no storage boxes. Your team colours, on demand.


LA sports stack: Chargers, Rams, Lakers, Dodgers, Kings

One of the biggest advantages of permanent lights is running colours for every LA team:

TeamSportColoursPattern
Los Angeles ChargersNFLNavy, yellow, black1 Navy, 1 Yellow, 1 Off
Los Angeles RamsNFLBlue, yellowAlternating blue and yellow

LA KingsNHLSilver, blackAlternating silver and off
LAFCMLSBlack, gold1 Off, 1 Gold

Save a folder for each team. LA has more teams than most cities. Your roofline can rep any of them.

Questions Los Angeles Chargers fans ask about permanent lights

  • Can I match the exact Chargers colours? Yes. RGBW permanent lights produce over 16 million colours. The GOULY app colour wheel lets you dial in Chargers navy (#002A5E) and bolt yellow (#FFC20E) precisely.
  • What does the black node look like? The node is completely dark. It blends into the night sky and creates a visible gap between the navy and yellow nodes. From the street it looks intentional and electric.
  • Will my Chargers pattern work on any home size? Yes. The 3-node repeating pattern works on bungalows, two storeys, and estates. The tight cycle means even short eave runs get plenty of repetitions.
  • Can I schedule my lights for game time? Yes. Set a schedule in the GOULY app to turn on before kickoff and off at a set time, or trigger scenes manually with one tap.
  • Can I save patterns for all LA teams? Yes. Create a folder for each team. The app holds unlimited scenes and folders. Your Chargers folder sits right next to your Lakers and Dodgers folders.
  • Do the off nodes waste energy? No. Off means off. Those nodes draw zero power. Your energy cost is actually lower than a full-colour display.
