Permanent lighting in Happy Valley
Happy Valley is the fastest-growing part of Clackamas County and its homes are big: 2000s to 2020s two-stories on the slopes of Scouters Mountain, Mt. Scott and along the 172nd corridor with four or five gables, covered porches and 260 to 360 feet of roofline. Nearly every street is in an HOA. On the hillsides the lights are seen from across the valley, which is where Deep Pebble Track and the D35 puck earn their price. Track packages from $32 per foot, Deep Pebble at $37, system included, published here first.
From $32 per foot, controller included. Free measure anywhere in Happy Valley, usually within three days.
Hillside exposure and brightness
Homes on Scouters Mountain and the upper 172nd corridor are seen from a quarter mile away across the valley. At that distance a standard pebble reads as a faint line; Deep Pebble at 12 inches or the D35 puck reads as a lit house. If the house faces the valley, we recommend spending the extra $3 to $5 per foot on the view elevation and using standard pebble on the sides.
Two packages that fit
Deep Pebble Track
Minleon's brightest pebble in channel. Pick 6, 12 or 15-inch spacing.
D35 Puck Track
The brightest pixel in the line, in a low-profile puck track. Built for modern architecture.

Homes and rooflines here
Composite fascia and aluminum drip edge throughout, so channel on the fascia is the mount. HOAs review exterior changes; fascia-matched track with a warm-white default is what they approve. Gable-heavy plans measure long: a 24-foot gable adds about 30 feet of lit roofline, and a Happy Valley front elevation with four gables can top 200 feet by itself.
HOAs: common; our approval packet is built for it. The HOA guide and template letter.
