The holiday season is the perfect time to brighten up your home, and nothing makes a home more inviting than a stunning display of holiday lights. However, with so many lighting options available, choosing the best one for your home can be challenging. At Exoclean, we take the stress out of holiday lighting by offering professional installation, removal, and even storage. Here’s how to choose the perfect holiday lights for your home with the help of our expert team.

1. Determine Your Lighting Style

The first step in creating a holiday lighting display is deciding on the style that matches your taste. At Exoclean, we offer three main lighting styles to suit any preference:

• Warm White – Classic and Inviting: Warm white lights create a cozy, traditional holiday look. These lights provide a soft, golden glow that evokes a sense of nostalgia and warmth, making your home feel welcoming and festive.

• Brightest on the Block – Stand Out with Pure White: If you want to be the brightest house on the block, pure white LED lights are your best choice. Their sharp, brilliant glow gives your home a modern and polished appearance, ideal for homeowners who want their display to be noticed and admired.

• Multi-Colored – Fun and Festive: For a playful, festive look, multi-colored lights add vibrancy to your home. Bright reds, greens, blues, and yellows create a joyful and dynamic holiday atmosphere, perfect for family-friendly displays.

2. Consider Your Outdoor Space

Since Exoclean specializes in outdoor holiday lighting, it’s essential to determine where you want your lights to be displayed. Two popular areas for outdoor lighting are:

• Wrapping Trees with Mini Lights: Wrapping trees with mini lights creates a stunning, elegant effect that adds depth and dimension to your outdoor display. Whether you choose warm white, pure white, or multi-colored, tree wraps are a fantastic way to add warmth and brilliance to your landscaping.

• Hanging Lights on Your House: The most impactful way to decorate your home is by hanging lights along the roofline. You can choose between two main options:

  • Front Face Only: A great start for a minimalist design is focusing on the gutters and peaks of the front face of your home. This simple yet elegant display highlights the main focal points of your house.

  • Full Front-Facing Roof: For a more dramatic display, consider framing the full front-facing roof, including the ridge line, both sides, and the gutters. Going all out with this option, combined with tree wraps and ground stake lights, will ensure your home stands out in the neighborhood.

3. Why LED Lights Are the Smart Choice

At Exoclean, we use LED lights exclusively for their many benefits:

• Energy Efficiency: LED lights use far less electricity than traditional incandescent bulbs, helping you save on your energy bill.

• Durability and Safety: LED lights are durable, weather-resistant, and stay cool to the touch, making them perfect for outdoor use.

• Long-Lasting: These lights have a much longer lifespan, ensuring your display will shine brightly for many seasons to come.

4. Types of Lights We Offer

At Exoclean, we provide a variety of lights to suit your design preferences and outdoor space:

• Mini Lights: These are great for wrapping trees, railings, columns, and bushes. Mini lights come in both warm and pure white, as well as multi-colored options, and add a delicate, twinkling effect that brings any outdoor feature to life.

• Light Links (Icicle Lights and Snowflakes): Light links are perfect for rooflines, creating a cascading effect with icicles or adding unique snowflake designs for a wintry touch.

• C9 Bulbs: C9 bulbs are a bold choice for outlining the roofline, gutters, and walkways. These larger bulbs provide a brilliant glow that makes your home pop.

• Spritzers: Spritzers are mounted on 5-foot stakes and are typically placed in the ground to break up sections of lights or add depth between mini light wraps. These spiked, twinkling balls create a striking visual element, adding variety and dimension to your overall display.

5. Tailoring Your Display

At Exoclean, we can customize your holiday display to suit your specific vision. Here’s how we help you decide:

• Minimalist Design: For a simple yet elegant approach, lights on the front face of your home—highlighting the gutters, peaks, and rooflines—can be a great start. This option creates a clean, sophisticated look that’s festive without being overwhelming.

• All-Out Display: For those who want to go all out, we recommend framing the full front-facing roof, including the ridge line, both sides, and the gutters. To elevate the look further, you can add lights to trees, railings, bushes, and ground stake lights to illuminate walkways or driveways. This comprehensive display will make your home the star of the neighborhood.
