Event lighting is a different product entirely Most outdoor lighting is built to stay. Event lighting is built to come down. A wedding, a graduation party, a company event, a reception: these are one night jobs.

What you are looking at is a permanent LED system, put up once and left up. Why it earns its place Holiday color is the reason most people call. What makes it worth the money is everything after December. A warm white line along the roof makes the house easy to see from the road, w
