Dayton Wright and his team are on the leading edge of permanent roofline lighting. He has seen the transformation first-hand from holiday lighting to permanent lighting over the last 5-10 years.

Dayton has trained thousands of contractors and distributors on the best ways to install holiday and permanent lights. He is excited about the opportunity to grow his family’s business in the future by educating more professional installers on the various opportunities of holiday and permanent lighting!
