It is the belief of many that the top rated holiday lighting companies box up their ladders after December. Fact is that is only the front act. Such crews are aware that light is a language in the whole year and they are skilled speakers.
Valentine’s Day? Soft pinks and deep reds make their appearance and knock porches into soothing little love notes. Spring comes and all of a sudden, you have pastel flowers reflecting in soft uplights in the garden. The summer parties could acquire the loud, colourful shades that transform the backyards into the festivals.
They are experts on deciphering a space. An evening focal point can be achieved on a dull wall by simply changing the angle. You may literally do double duty with path lights, both leading your guests along a route and framing the yard as a picture. It is not the question of casting a light everywhere its being a matter of casting it where it has value.
And so there is flexibility. In one week, we get the lights on creating a warm atmosphere of a family dinner outside.
The second, they are taking part in a local festival and they are dancing to the music. This versatility makes the set up interesting, regardless of the month.
Also businesses are in on it. Storefront lights used in each season have the ability to attract customers and integrate a brand with personality at night. Welcoming fall and freezing blues in winter, it is a mere upgrade that can work better than a given banner or poster.
Then by the time December comes around again the lights no longer seem like a holiday job. They are their own component in the personality of the property-they switch wardrobes with the seasons, they are always in a mood to set the mood. It is another approach to the thought about lighting. Not so much just-for-Christmas but how-come-not-this-glow-all-the-year.
