The Most Wonderful Time of the Year
Christmas is one of the most
exciting holidays of the year! It can also be one of the most stressful with
shopping lists to check off and menus to prepare. With the shorter nights and
the treacherous weather, more drivers on the road can make late December in
Canada a dangerous place! The excitement of the Christmas holiday is the
preparation involved for the big day and that includes decorating. Inside and
out, our homes and businesses get into the yule tide spirit with tinsel, trees
and lights. On the down side, installing Christmas lights is a dangerous
activity and leads to a high rate of emergency room visits over the
holidays. Doctors see a surge in head traumas over the holidays as patients
fall off of extension ladders or roof tops. A sombre topic for a joyous time of
year, but a reality none the less. There is a safer option for homeowners who
want to avoid climbing that ladder next Christmas, but still enjoy the beauty
of a Christmas themed light show. The permanent solution lies with LED strip
lights to alleviate these Christmas safety concerns.
Professional LED lighting companies
can install year-round outdoor Christmas lights for any home or business.
Virtually invisible until they are luminated, LED strip lights puts on a
festive and inviting show for all the neighbourhood to see! Avoid rigging
complicated extension cord systems that cause electrical and trip hazards.
Year-round Christmas lights are easy to turn on and off with a simple
smartphone app. Determine what type of pattern and colours your home will use
right in the app. You can keep it consistent throughout the holidays or change
it up to suit your mood.
Easy to Use and Energy Efficient
There are further benefits to using
year-round outdoor Christmas lights. LED lights are more economical than
fluorescent or incandescent light bulbs. Using less energy, LED lights last as
long as 50,000 hours compared to
the 1,000
hours an incandescent bulb will. This makes your year-round outdoor Christmas
lights easier to maintain. They are also more economical. By using less power
and energy, LED lights have a minimal impact on the monthly hydro bill. With
current concerns surrounding rising electricity costs, these lighting systems
are attractive not only for exterior decorating, but for their cost! LED lights
are better for
the environment
, as well
and as more efficient. For businesses looking to give their brand
a more festive appearance, LED strip lighting will work well on any exterior
application, including business. Restaurants, hotels, retailers and banks are
all using LED strip lighting to enhance their brand recognition. LED is the way
forward for corporate responsibility, leaving a smaller footprint on the
environment.
Year-round Use
Permanent LED strip lighting isn’t
just for Christmas either! Celebrate other annual holidays, (St. Patrick’s Day,
Canada Day, Pride, etc.) or a family members birthday. If you are a proud
member of Leafs Nation or a Raptor’s fan, let the street know when your team
scores in the big game with a rush of colour and excitement! For families
expecting a new addition they can use LED lighting to announce the gender at
baby showers. Weddings and family reunions are all wonderful ways to use
year-round outdoor Christmas lights. Call a professional installer today and be
ready for the holidays this year!
