    On this topic… anyone have a line on someone who will put up lights for you? Potentially in a package deal where I can buy new lights from them?

    I would like to put some up this year, but don’t have nearly enough for my place so would need to buy lights anyway. Would prefer it not look lame builder grade but a more classic appearance that I can just plug into my Lutron system?

    This is already the case.

    I went to CDN tire at season end, stocked up on the longest strings of soft white NOMA lights they had in stock (100 lights/ string I believe?) and I'll call it a day. Will do trees and some parts of my house. Total cost ~$120ish. Total time, maybe a few hours?
    6g for Xmas lights? Lol.

    Those Gem Stone lights GMG's.

    Tons on our street and everyone has to justify paying big $$'s for them by running them every single night on some different colour setting. Queen dies, lets run them blue-red-white flashing for a week! Yaaa!
    There's a couple a couple blocks down that has theirs on all the time with all sorts of crazy colour combinations.

    The wife is damned hot though, so I'll accept it.

    I got Gemstones this year and love them. Also no ragerts here. We mostly have them on the architectural lighting but every once and a while when the kids are up past dark they ask for fun colours so I oblige them. The queen can S my D but I do change them for different sporting events and I am looking forward to Halloween and Christmas.

    Do you know how many linear ft you got for that? We went gemstone a couple months ago and it was 4800 for front and back 215ft. If anyone is looking at gemstones their prices vary huge within their list of distributors, we had one quote as high as $6700 for the same 215ft


    The wife wanted them a few years ago but i was a hard no because like you its an insane amount for xmas lights but as i aged i saw the appeal lol
    We paid $21/linear ft + like $220 for the controller I think? That seemed to be pretty on par with the thread in the Home and Garden section from other people who got them.

    EDIT: Mods, can we move this to the Soffit Lighting sub- forum?

    We used Snobritelights. As said, total cost was ~$250 for install / take down... We sent them a pic of the house, said we want lights "here, here & here", they told us how many strings / linear feet we'd need (I think it was ~$150) and done... Lights sit in a Rubermade, ready for next time.

    Edit - looks like either my memory is bad, or they've upped their prices, but still not bad relative to Gemstones

    Double edit - Snobrite will sell lights too

    It doesn’t mention linear feet but for reference, gemstone was over $4k

    Also Watts offered to do full wrap to end of each peak on my house at the front. Some of the front peaks side run 1/3 of the way on the sides of the home.

    Gemstone only did 6’ wraps, Watts went to the very end for me.

    My house has 9 front edges and 8 sides to complete the full front half of the home.
    Yeah mine only go 6ft on the sides but my sides also run all the way back. We asked for a quote to go the full wrap around but the salesbro made a very good point that when on it would be really bright and potentially shine a ton into the neighbors rooms. After getting them im glad we didnt do the full wrap around on the sides too because these even at half brightness are insanely bright

    Wifes been showing me the halloween and xmas ones and im not gonna lie im pretty excited, i go pretty hard with xmas lights so bonus this year. The original was 21 but he knocked off $300 for doing the back too and they had to cancel the day of install on short notice so he took another 5% off. In total I paid $4370

    and I did not have the only say in the matter (most people just want it done ASAP and don't care about quality).

    If anything we made a better decision because we had a consensus and were all on the same page.

    I wanted to pick up a bunch of nova lights, but I checked all the reviews on them, and they were all basically 1/5 stars. It was just a repeat of "I picked these up, put them away nicely, and half the LEDs were burnt out next season during storage". I want gemstones, but partially because I want to hook them up to a motion sensor and terrify people away, similar to motion activated flood lights.

    Love my gemstones. I have them on architectural settings most night at maybe 10% brightness. Basically just accentuates the shapes of the house. Over December I'll probably put a different pre-made christmas pattern on each day and there are some good looking Halloween patterns too.

    I got a decent deal based on what I'm seeing here and since this is our forever home (been in it for 18yrs, probably another 20 on the way), I'm happy with the amortization costs.

    I use this guy every year:

    calgaryxmaslights at gmail dot com

    Very reasonable price, I think around $2 a linear foot plus materials. Free takedowns too in the spring if you commit to using him for the next fall (he takes a $100 deposit)

    Same. Just above the sidewalk and driveway. Makes for much better security cam footage of the critters that go by. Wifey does a few holidays St. Patrick's Day. Haloween. Nothing too crazy.

    I spent all my CT$ during the "spend $250 get $40" thing on Sept 8 and then they fucked me and didn't give me the $40 bonus.

    Thermal and sound dampening curtains.

    Amazon "Nicetown" brand, which is generic, but it seems to be the best of the generics.
