What are holiday lights called?

The phrase 'holiday lights' refers to strings of electrical cords with white or colored light bulbs attached. These are also sometimes called string lights or fairy lights. They are frequently used indoors to decorate Christmas trees, as well as outdoors to illuminate trees, bushes, lampposts and more.

How much do professional Christmas lights cost?

The cost of professional Christmas light installation depends on the size of the job. The ideal installers will have the know-how to give your property the look you want while offering reasonable rates.

When should you take down Christmas lights?

There is no strict rule, but many people dismantle their light displays on January 6, the Epiphany, which marks the end of the 12 days of Christmas.

What are the best holiday light colors?

Popular options include multicolored lights, traditional red and green, all white (warm or cool), or even themed displays like all blue for a winter wonderland effect.

How much do Christmas lights raise your electric bill?

It depends on the size of the display and type of lights. Incandescent lights can add over $300 to a monthly bill for elaborate displays, while LED displays typically cost under $50 for the same size.

Is it OK to leave LED Christmas lights on all night?

It's best to turn lights off overnight for safety and energy savings. FEMA recommends turning them off when you go to bed, even with LEDs. Using a timer is a good solution.

Do LED Christmas lights stay on if one burns out?

Yes, if one LED burns out, the rest of the string will usually stay lit. Just replace the burned-out bulb when you notice it.

Are permanent holiday lights worth it?

Permanent holiday lights are designed to last 6–10 years and eliminate the need for annual setup and takedown. They cost more upfront but save hassle and can be used year-round.

Do you provide the lights, or do I need to supply them?

Our team provides lights each year, but we can also guide you in selecting the right lights if you prefer to purchase them yourself.

Can you install additional decorations like wreaths or garlands?

Yes, we can install wreaths, garlands, and other décor to give your home or business a signature holiday look.

Do you have examples or suggestions for unique light displays?

Yes, we can create unique designs and specialty displays to make your property stand out, from themed yard figures to custom tree lighting.

What happens if a light goes out or there's an issue with the display during the holidays?

We provide maintenance and will replace bulbs or fix issues throughout the holiday season. Year-round service is also available for permanent displays.

What types of events do you decorate for, aside from Christmas?

We decorate for all occasions, including Halloween, 4th of July, Diwali, Hanukkah, gender reveals, and more.

Will you help with the removal of lights and decorations?

Yes, our services include full takedown, storage, and removal of lights and decorations after the season.

Which is better for energy savings, incandescent or LED Christmas lights?

LED lights are far more energy-efficient and cost-effective compared to incandescent lights, especially for large displays.

Are white Christmas lights more popular than colored ones?

Both are popular. White lights offer a classic, neutral look, while multicolored lights bring a festive, playful atmosphere.

Do you offer installation for lights that play music?

Yes, we can install music-synced light displays, though they are priced separately from standard installations.

What happens if Christmas lights are exposed to rain or snow?

High-quality outdoor lights are weather-resistant and will work in rain or snow. We ensure all outdoor lights are safe and rated for the elements.

Where can I recycle old or broken Christmas lights?

We handle disposal and recycling of old lights as part of our full-service holiday lighting solutions.

What precautions can I take to prevent Christmas lights from becoming a fire hazard?

We follow proper electrical practices during installation to minimize risk. Using LEDs also reduces heat and fire risk.

Are all Christmas lights low voltage, or does it depend on the type?

Not all Christmas lights are low voltage, but we use LED lights for safety, reliability, and efficiency in outdoor installations.

What is the difference between commercial and residential Christmas lights?

Commercial lights are built for durability and professional displays, while residential lights are tailored to homeowners. We design for both settings, from homes to restaurants, schools, and senior living facilities.

DIY vs. Professional Christmas Light Installation in Frisco

Doing it yourself can take several weekends of hanging, fixing, and taking down lights, often from tall ladders on steep two-story rooflines. You also have to research and plan around your HOA’s guidelines and fix whatever comes loose in the wind or a cold snap. With the MosquitoNix® Elves, we handle everything from start to finish. Our licensed and insured team does the climbing, designs within your HOA’s guidelines, comes back to fix anything weather knocks out, and includes removal and storage after the holidays.

Hanging lights yourself can work for a single-story home and a simple display. For tall, steep rooflines and larger designs, professional installation saves time and keeps you off the roof.
