Christmas Lights

When November rolls around, you start thinking of hanging up Christmas lights. I know that is what I do.

Getting old

I am getting old and I will be the first one to admit it because I am getting old. Besides, ladders and high places don’t mix with me at the moment. No, I am not afraid of heights. I am just afraid of getting dizzy and falling off.  Check out my JustinJenkins.info blog.

Moved

When we moved, we has some extra money due to the sale of our house so I decided to get some permanent lights. You know the things that you will not have to put up or takedown. I have been looking at some different companies. There are quite a few out there. However, I decided to go with Everlights.

EverLights

This was the first company I looked at like a long time ago. I know I could never get them on the old house. Due to the wife saying no more than once. I had them come out and give me a quote. I didn’t call anyone else. I was sold on their app.

I watched a lot of YouTube videos from other companies and they didn’t show if they had a calendar so that you can schedule your lights. They explained what the lights can do but not if you can schedule the lights. Everlights did that and that is what I was sold on. I wanted the ability to schedule the lights so I won’t have to remember to do that.

App

So the app is pretty basic. It has been upgraded and that is nice.

The calendar feature

As you can see I have the month of February booked up.

My thoughts

What sold me to this company was the calendar feature. I wanted to make sure I can schedule out my lights and they come on when I want them to. This is the thing I saw when looking at permanent lighting for my house. Other companies never showed me this option in their app so I didn’t consider them at all. I like where my lights were placed. they were placed in the rain gutter and they are pointing directly straight out. Not down at the house. I like that look.

Now I don’t have to bother my kids to come and put up Christmas lights and take them down. Some might say just don’t put lights up. I say WHAT!! That is not me.
