The holidays are a truly magical time of year: delicious
food, gorgeous decorations, great times with friends and family and an overall festive
atmosphere inside the home and out. Unfortunately, the holidays often come with
their own sources of stress as well. Preparing for large gatherings takes a lot
of work and effort, and winter travel can pose a host of issues as well that
require careful (and car-full) consideration. Christmas lights bring their own
contrary set of benefits and drawbacks. On the one hand, who doesn’t love a
beautiful display of festive lights as you cruise around the neighbourhood? One
of the simple pleasures of Christmas time is seeing how the people around your
town or city choose to celebrate the season by lighting up the night with
gorgeous colours and classy, fun displays. Getting those displays in place,
however, can be not only a time-sucking hassle, but also an actual, genuine
risk to your health and safety. Climbing up on a ladder to set up Christmas
light strings around the eaves of your home at any time of year can be risky,
but especially if you have maybe put off the chore until the ground is hard and
cold and the snow has started to fly. Luckily, permanent Christmas lights have
GTA homeowners singing carols when the time comes, without having to make the
climb.
On When Needed, ‘Gone’
When Not
Of course, the option of simply leaving your regular
Christmas lights up year round to avoid the annoying headache of setting them
up and tearing them down each year is always available, but for obvious
reasons, this isn’t ideal. Dangling strings of Christmas lights in the middle
of summer can more closely resemble unsightly, dead ivy rather than festive
holly, and leaving flimsy bulbs exposed to the elements year-round can also
mean a dramatic uptick in maintenance and repair costs. Thankfully, modern LED
lighting technology has come to the rescue to solve all of these problems. LED
light strips are installed in such a way that they are virtually invisible when
they’re not turned on, so if you’ve got permanent LED Christmas lights, the
set-up and take-down process is as simple as the push of a button. Not only
that, LED lights last many times longer than their traditional counterparts,
meaning that it will be years (or even decades!) before you need to climb a
ladder to tend to your lights.
Lights To Suit All
Occasions
Although you can simply turn off your LED Christmas light
strips when the holiday season has come and gone, why would you? With another
push of a button on your smartphone or computer, you can instantly transform
your Christmas lighting into the perfect mood-setter for a Valentine’s Day or
St. Patrick’s Day celebration! In between holidays, you could have the lights
off and invisible, or you can simply set them to a neutral colour and enjoy
having unique outdoor accent lighting around your home on the ‘ordinary days’.
Permanent Christmas lighting has GTA homeowners celebrating
the holidays with less stress and less hassle, and partying all year round to
boot!
