The Real Cost of Christmas Lights Over 20 Years

Every year, people climb ladders, untangle cords, and freeze their fingers putting up Christmas lights — but what does it really cost over time?Let’s break down the numbers and compare three options: professional installs, DIY setups, and permanent lighting from Infinity Lights.

💡 The Average Infinity Lights Home

Our average installation costs about $2,500 for a typical home.That’s a one-time investment — not a yearly expense.

Spread out over 20 years, that’s only:

$2,500 ÷ 20 = $125 per year.

That’s less than most people spend on takeout or streaming subscriptions.And unlike temporary lights, Infinity Lights gives you more than just Christmas glow — it’s a complete year-round lighting system.

🎉 More Than Just Christmas

Infinity Lights aren’t limited to the holidays.You can instantly switch to colours and patterns for:

• 🎃 Halloween

• 🎆 New Year’s Eve

• 💖 Valentine’s Day

• 🍁 Thanksgiving

• 🇨🇦 Canada Day or 🇺🇸 Fourth of July

• 🏒 Team colours for game nights

• ✨ Or warm, subtle tones for architectural lighting year-round

One system — endless possibilities.It’s your home, your colours, your control — all from the app.

🪜 Option 1: Hiring a Professional Every Year

Most professional light installers charge between $600 and $1,500 per season, depending on roofline and design complexity.That includes installation, removal, and storage.

Let’s take a realistic average of $900 per year.

$900 × 20 years = $18,000.

That’s eighteen thousand dollars gone — and you’ll still be climbing ladders or calling someone else next year.

🧰 Option 2: Doing It Yourself

You could try hanging lights yourself.

You’ll still pay for:

• Lights (which fade or fail every 2 years on average)

• Clips, cords, and timers

• Storage boxes and replacement costs

• Time and risk on the ladder

Say you spend $200 every 2 years replacing lights and supplies — that’s $2,000 over 20 years.Now add your time: 4 hours per year (80 hours over 20 years).Even valuing your time at $25/hour = another $2,000.

➡️ True cost: ~$4,000 — not counting the frustration or danger.

🌈 Option 3: Infinity Lights — Built to Last

Now, compare the real numbers:

Lighting Option	20-Year Cost	Ownership	Year-Round Use	Time Spent
Professional Installer	~$18,000 – $20,000	❌ None	❌ Seasonal only	0 hrs
DIY Setup	~$4,000 + 80 hrs labour	⚠️ Partial	❌ Seasonal only	80 hrs
Infinity Lights	$2,500 one-time	✅ Yours	✅ All seasons	0 hrs

🏡 The Smart Investment

At $2,500 installed, Infinity Lights pay for themselves in just a few seasons.After that, they keep giving back — no more setup, no storage, no replacements.And they transform your home every day of the year — from warm architectural tones to full-on festive patterns.

It’s not just lighting for Christmas.It’s lighting for life.

💬 Final Thought

Stop climbing ladders. Stop wasting weekends.Invest once, enjoy forever.
