5 Most Common Reasons Why People Choose Permanent Lights
Before owning a Permanent Light company, we were interested and explored purchasing permanent lights for our own home. Now, after meeting with hundreds of people to hear their motives for wanting permanent lights, I have listed the five most common reasons why people invest.
Priority of Safety
People are becoming less comfortable risking their or their loved ones’ safety to hang lights. In the 1950s when outdoor lights became commonplace, houses were much smaller, rooflines were less complicated, and lights could be strung more safely and in some cases from step ladders. This is no longer the case for most homes. The National Post reported falls have overtaken motor-vehicle crashes as the major source of serious injury in Canada. The Foothills Hospital in Calgary reports an average of 40 decoration-hanging victims with injuries at the top end of the severity scale, including two who eventually died, some who needed life support and a number who ended up in nursing homes in 10 years. Hiring professionals with the appropriate safety equipment is a major reason many households are choosing permanent lights. I wouldn’t be surprised if someday hanging lights are viewed as reckless and unnecessary.
For the Light Enthusiast
A favourite type of customer is the light enthusiast. These people are excited by the technical sophistication and endless possibilities of permanent lights. Especially iStar Permanent Lights since our cutting-edge technology allows for the execution of their vision. Every sports game, holiday, and party is accompanied by electrifying patterns that trace the edges of their homes. These Clark Griswolds of the world become childlike as their homes become a canvas to showcase their passion for lights.
Hassle-Free
Strung lights are frustrating for most people. For many, the hassle of putting them up and taking them down is high on the list of most dreaded chores. Hanging lights is time-consuming on a good day and miserable on a cold one. Although leaving lights up from year to year potentially saves homeowners from the hassle of yearly take-down, another hassle is created. The eyesore. Canadian weather means lights that remain for more than a season discolour, the clips often break, and lights end up hanging off the eavestrough. Permanent lights are becoming increasingly popular because they solve this problem for good. Husbands and wives no longer need to bicker about Christmas lights and can instead enjoy them.
Architectural Lighting
With how uncertain the world is, it has become more important for one’s home to be a place of rest. It is remarkably common for people to be interested in permanent lights, not for the grand effects and extravagant colours (that they offer), but rather for the cozy, inviting looks that are also possible with the architectural presets. These architectural presets allow for a classic look that people use every evening. Permanent lights are far more energy-efficient than pot lights and offer endless spacing and grouping options for a picturesque home.
Christmas
Although permanent lights are now enjoyed all year long, Christmas is undoubtedly one of the main reasons people purchase permanent lights. A home topped with snow and trimmed in lights is a hallmark of Christmas. 87% of Canadian families celebrate Christmas so it is no surprise that Christmas is not only the most wonderful time of the year but also the busiest for our company. When asked what people enjoyed best about Christmas, an overwhelming majority cited lights. Permanent Lights now allow the luxury of changing Christmas lights. Feel like the classic red and green one night and moving colours the next? No problem! Permanent lights make Christmas even more magical!
Recently Brent and I have discussed if we should purchase an electric vehicle. The obvious reason for doing so is the cost of gas but as we read more and talk to more people, other surprising reasons are piquing our interest. I hope you have found this article helpful and enlightening on your journey to discovering if permanent lights are a worthwhile investment for your family.
