This is the same permanent system, used the way most people around here actually use it. Around Corpus you now see whole streets that change with the season rather than sitting dark eleven months a year. Once the lights are up, a holiday look is a couple of taps instead of a weekend on a ladder.
What a scene is. A saved color pattern. Red and green for Christmas, orange and purple for Halloween, red white and blue for the Fourth, your team colors on game day. You save them once and pick them off a list after that.
Why people stop hanging lights. Not because hanging lights looks bad. Because doing it every single year gets old, and because a permanent system also gives you everyday warm white the rest of the year, which a box of Christmas lights never does.
Scheduling. Set it to come on at dusk and shut off late. Change the scene when the season changes. Most people set it and only touch it a few times a year.
- Permanent lights are year round here now, not just a Christmas thing
- Holiday, Halloween, Fourth of July, and game day colors from one system
- No ladder, no untangling, no storage bins
- Scenes run on a schedule so you are not flipping anything on and off
