Light Up the Neighborhood: Outdoor Holiday Lighting Installation

The holidays are a time for spreading joy within your community. What better way to get your neighbors into the holiday spirit than with a spectacular outdoor Christmas lights display?

When designed thoughtfully, holiday lighting can transform your home into a winter wonderland that wows passersby. From classic white icicle lights to multi-colored lights synchronized to music, options for ‘decking the halls’ are abundant. Here are tips for designing an amazing outdoor Christmas lights display this season:

Choose a Theme or Color Scheme

Consider a cohesive theme like all warm-white lights or traditional Christmas colors. Alternatively, you can opt for a crown. Light your trees in warm-white lights until you are near the top, and then switch to a different color for the remainder of the trunk.

Accent Architectural Features

Use lights to spotlight and complement unique aspects of your home’s exterior. Outline windows, doors, rooflines, columns, and other structural details. Illuminate trees and bushes too.

Invest in Quality Durable Commercial Grade Lights

Consumer lights can easily burn out. Spend slightly more on commercial grade C7 or C9 LED lights designed to withstand weather and last for years.

Sync Lights to Music

Programmable Christmas lights synced to holiday music create an exciting, multi-sensory display. Consider hiring pros to ensure proper setup.

Check for Dark Spots

Stand on the sidewalk and look for unlit areas blocked by trees, structures, etc. Adjust lighting placements to ensure an even, cohesive look.

By following these tips, you can design a dazzling Christmas light display that is sure to spark holiday cheer in your neighborhood. Or, if you want to leave it up to the experts, call North Pole Holiday Lighting for a free quote on a custom installation!
