Many of us love the holidays and all of
the festivities – parties, gifts, music, family get-togethers, sweet treats,
and of course, the colourful decorations and lights that brighten the cold
winter evenings. Do you go "all out” to make your home extra-festive? If you
do, you know how difficult and time-consuming it can be to hang outdoor lights.
Working in the dark, dealing with icy sidewalks, fingers stiff with cold…
Making your house look festive can be a bit of an ordeal -- and in some
cases, downright dangerous. But it doesn’t have to be that way. When
you install permanent soffit lighting, there’s no need to struggle with
rarely-used extension ladders and strings of burnt-out bulbs. With permanent outdoor
LED Christmas lighting, you can create holiday magic with the touch of a button!
State-of-the-Art
LED Lighting
Sometimes when people hear about permanent
lighting, they get a mental image of the neighbour who leaves his string of
bulbs stapled to the eaves all year long. That couldn’t be further from the
reality! Permanent outdoor LED strip lighting is virtually invisible unless
it’s lit up, so your home will look just as it does now until you decide that
it’s time to dazzle the neighbourhood. And once you have permanent lights
installed, you’ll discover other occasions to use them. One of the great
advantages of this technology is that the lights are very versatile. You can
change the way they look at any time, and you’ll have hundreds of different
colours available. Is your daughter’s "princess” birthday party today? Turn on
some pink and purple lights to let the little guests know where the fun is
happening. Is your team in the Grey Cup this year? Program in the team colours
to make it plain who you’re cheering for. (And if your spouse supports the
opposing team, you can alternate different team colour combinations!) Canada
Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Halloween…you can program in fun patterns and colours
for any occasion.
The
Advantages of Permanent Soffit Lighting
Beauty, versatility, and convenience are
three of the major reasons why people opt for LED strip lighting systems, but
those aren’t the only advantages of this type of outdoor lights. For instance,
LED lights are approximately 80% - 90% more efficient than incandescent bulbs.
LEDs operate at a lower voltage, yet they can produce intense light in a wide
range of colours. It follows then, that using LED lights can reduce your carbon
footprint and save you money.
LED lighting is the environmentally-friendly
choice for other reasons, too. LEDs are very durable and long-lasting. The
average life of an LED that’s used six to eight hours a day is twenty years!
And most of these LED lights are recyclable once their lifespan is over, which
is also good for Planet Earth.
Most permanent soffit lighting comes
with a five-year warranty, but will last much longer. If you do have a problem
with a lighting strip, a simple service call to the company that installed the
lights will result in a quick replacement -- so you can get glowing again!
And finally, permanent LED lights are
easy to operate. Better systems even have options for programming the lights
from your smartphone.
Look into permanent soffit lighting for
your home, and celebrate the holidays safely, efficiently, and beautifully!
