Why We Only Use Commercial-Grade Christmas Lights for Your Home
July 8, 2024

If you've ever walked through a big-box store during the holidays, you've probably seen shelves stocked with colorful Christmas lights. While they may seem convenient, store-bought lights often fall short when it comes to durability, brightness, and performance—especially outdoors.

At On Point Holiday Lighting, we use commercial-grade LED lights for every installation. These are the same high-quality materials trusted by cities, businesses, and professional installers—and they're a big part of what makes our displays shine brighter and last longer.

Here’s why using commercial-grade Christmas lights is essential for a reliable, long-lasting holiday display.

Built for Outdoor Performance

Store-bought lights are typically made for short-term use or indoor applications. They aren’t designed to withstand extreme cold, rain, or wind. In contrast, commercial-grade lights are built with outdoor durability in mind.

Our lights are:

  • Weather-resistant and sealed for outdoor use
  • Designed to withstand freezing temperatures and moisture
  • Made with UV-resistant materials to prevent fading or cracking

This means fewer outages, fewer replacements, and a safer, more secure setup.

Custom-Cut to Fit Your Home

With commercial-grade lighting, we’re able to cut and configure each strand to the exact measurements of your home. This results in:

  • Clean, seamless rooflines and edges
  • No excess wires or awkward loops
  • A display that looks professional and perfectly tailored

Store-bought strands come in fixed lengths, which often leads to gaps, tangles, or lights that don’t align with your home’s features.

Brighter, More Consistent Illumination

Commercial-grade lights deliver:

  • Higher lumen output for brighter displays
  • Even color distribution across your entire setup
  • Longer-lasting LEDs that don’t dim or flicker mid-season

Whether you prefer warm white or bold multi-color, your lights will stand out from the street—bright, even, and visually stunning.

Better Safety and Efficiency

Our commercial-grade LED C9 lights are not only brighter, but they’re also safer and more energy-efficient. Compared to standard retail lights, they:

  • Use significantly less electricity
  • Stay cooler to the touch (reducing fire risk)
  • Last for thousands of hours without needing replacement

This helps keep your display both safe and cost-effective.

Professional-Quality = Peace of Mind

By using commercial-grade materials and installing them professionally, we offer more than just great lights—we deliver a worry-free experience. You can count on:

  • Fewer issues and outages
  • Built-in maintenance if something goes wrong
  • A polished, clean look that stands out for all the right reasons

You get all the sparkle with none of the stress.
