The break-even math.
The average DFW homeowner spends $2,200 per year on a professional traditional Christmas light install. A typical permanent install runs about $5,500 for a typical full wrap on a one-story home (try the slider on the homepage for your home). That's a 2.5-year payback — and your lights still have ~22 years of LED life remaining. Plus you get every other holiday free.
