Holiday Lighting & Permanent LED Installation in Ayr

By 1888, Ayr's streets were lit with coal oil lamps. Lighting a house today is a very different job. LED strings run along the roofline, trees are wrapped, and a timer switches everything on at dusk. In December it is already dark when people get home, so a display earns its keep in the early evening. Decide what you want lit while the leaves are still on the trees, and get the roofline measured in autumn.

Where the lights attach decides how the job goes. We use clips made for shingles, eavestrough and fascia, not staples through the roof edge, so nothing is punched into the house. Trees are easiest once the leaves are down, usually in November. Snow load is worth thinking about too. Strings sag under wet snow and pull on their clips, so the spacing is set with that in mind. Holiday lighting starts from $750.

Permanent LED is worth a look on a house with dark trim. The track follows the roofline and blends into the trim, and there is no yearly hanging or takedown. Whichever route you take, point out the outdoor outlet before we start, because every cord run is planned around it.

What we plan for in Ayr

• Clip choice: we match clips to shingle, eavestrough or fascia, so nothing is stapled through the roof edge.
• Power: we find the outdoor outlet and plan cord runs so wires do not cross a walkway or a step.
• Snow load: spacing is set so wet snow on the strings does not drag clips off the roof edge.
• Tree timing: wrapped trees are scheduled after leaf drop, so bare branches show the lights properly.
• Timer: we set it to dusk, so the lights come on when people arrive home in the dark.
