Permanent lighting isn’t just for December anymore. Utah families from Bluffdale to Brigham City—and everywhere in between—are finding creative ways to use their permanent Christmas lights all year long. Whether it’s a backyard BBQ in July, a spooky Halloween bash in October, or a birthday bash in the middle of spring, these lights bring customizable, color-changing fun to every occasion.
Let’s dive into 10 clever ways to make the most of your permanent lights every month of the year.
- Valentine’s Day – Share the Love: Nothing says romance like pink and red twinkling across your roofline. Create a cozy ambiance with soft fades and heart-themed patterns. Planning a special date night at home? Use your lights to set the mood before your partner even walks in the door.
- St. Patrick’s Day – Shamrock Vibes Only: Go green with pride and light up your home in rich emerald tones. Create an animated “chase” effect to mimic a leprechaun running across your roof. Bonus points if you program a gold sparkle at the end to represent a pot of gold.
- Easter – Pastel Perfection: Soft lavender, baby blue, peach, and mint green set the perfect springtime scene for egg hunts and Easter brunch. A slow-fade between colors brings a gentle, elegant vibe to your home’s exterior.
- Independence Day – Fireworks Without the Fire: Your home becomes the light show! Red, white, and blue animations, sparkles, and wave effects make your house a patriotic centerpiece. Sync your lighting with music using your app and host the best 4th of July block party in town.
- Halloween – Trick or Treat Ready: Cue the creepy effects: deep orange, blood red, and eerie purple lights set the stage for a haunted house look. Add in pulsing animations or strobe settings for extra spook factor. Some families even use motion sensors to trigger light changes when trick-or-treaters approach.
- Thanksgiving – Warm & Welcoming: Rustic hues like amber, golden yellow, and deep red create a cozy, inviting feeling perfect for fall gatherings. These lights pair beautifully with fall wreaths, pumpkins, and seasonal porch decor.
- Birthdays – Celebrate with Color: Celebrate your loved ones with a custom color palette. Choose their favorite colors and set the lights to flash, fade, or spell out their name in lights (if your system supports advanced patterns). Add a birthday playlist and you’ve got a celebration to remember.
- Game Days – Show Your Team Pride: Whether you’re a Utah Utes fan, BYU supporter, or Jazz faithful, show your spirit with matching team colors every game day. Flash your lights during scoring moments or keep them steady while hosting the watch party.
- Backyard BBQs & Summer Nights – Subtle Elegance: Turn your home into a summer oasis with soft white or warm amber lighting. These tones are perfect for late-night dinners, outdoor movie nights, or just relaxing on the patio after a long day. Dim the brightness for a calming, resort-like glow.
- Christmas – The Classic Returns: When December rolls around, you’re already ready. Flip your preset to classic red and green, frosty whites, or go bold with a full animated light show. There’s no rush to install anything, no ladders to climb, and no extension cords to battle. Your home becomes holiday-ready with one tap on your phone.
Bonus: Neighborhood Sync Nights
Coordinate with neighbors to create themed lighting nights for holidays or community events. Whether it’s red, white, and blue for Memorial Day or gold and purple for a local high school celebration, neighborhood-wide displays make your entire block feel unified and festive.
