Permanent vs. Seasonal Lights: What’s Best for Your Castle Rock Home?

I get this a lot in Castle Rock: “Should we go permanent or stick with seasonal?” I’m The Head Elf, and here’s a quick way to decide what fits your home in The Meadows, Founders, or Castle Pines.

Choose seasonal if:

- You love changing colors and themes each year.

- You want the cleanest possible daytime look—no visible tracks.

- You prefer a smaller upfront cost and like me handling install, takedown, and storage.

Choose permanent if:

- You want year‑round architectural lighting or game‑day color scenes.

- You’re okay with a higher initial investment for convenience later.

- You want app control and scheduled scenes.

What stays the same with me:

- Commercial‑grade LEDs and weather‑ready installs.

- Clean wiring, timers, and support.

- Design that fits Castle Rock’s vibe—classy, warm, and neighbor‑friendly.

I also design full outdoor lighting systems—paths, trees, and architectural accents—so your home looks welcoming every night, not just in December. We use efficient, low‑voltage LEDs and offer maintenance to keep everything glowing. 

Not sure which way to go? I’ll mock up both. We’ll walk your lot, plan sightlines from the street and the driveway, and match the brightness to your façade. Whether you’re near Philip S. Miller Park or backing to Plum Creek, we’ll shape a look that feels right year‑round.
