Holiday Lighting
Can Permanent Holiday Lights Be Used Year-Round? (Yes — Here's How.)
September 24, 2025·4 min read
The name is a little misleading. "Holiday" lighting is really year-round architectural lighting that happens to do every holiday spectacularly.
Most homeowners run warm white as their default — it's the same look you'd get from a high-end landscape lighting designer using fixed downlights, but every bulb on your roofline contributes.
For holidays, the system shifts: red and green for Christmas, orange and purple for Halloween, red-white-blue chase patterns for July 4th, pink and white for Valentine's, pastels for Easter, school colors for game days, custom colors for birthdays and parties.
Every transition is a tap in the app. Schedule it in advance — your lights will know to switch to Halloween mode at sundown on October 1.

Yes — that is how most DFW homeowners use them. Warm white at 60% brightness reads like a high-end landscape design and runs for roughly $2.50–$3.60/month at Texas electricity rates.
