Introduction
Every winter, homeowners brace themselves for the same exhausting ritual — untangling lights, climbing ladders in the cold, replacing burnt-out bulbs, and dealing with storage and upkeep.But what if you never had to do that again?
At Infinity Lights, we specialize in permanent exterior lighting systems — a one-time installation that pays for itself year after year.In this article, you’ll learn how our system can save you time, money, and even reduce the risk of injury. We’ll also explain why this investment adds long-term value to your home or business.
The Hidden Costs of Seasonal Lighting
1. Time and Labour Every Year
Each holiday season means repeating the same process: purchasing lights, untangling cords, testing bulbs, hanging, removing, and storing everything again.Over the years, this adds up to dozens of hours lost — time you could spend enjoying the holidays instead.
2. Risk of Injury or Damage
Climbing ladders in freezing conditions is one of the most common sources of home-related injuries. Not only do you risk a fall, but hanging lights can also damage your gutters, shingles, or siding. Even hiring someone doesn’t eliminate that risk entirely.
3. Maintenance and Replacement Costs
Most string lights aren’t built to last through Canadian winters. Moisture, wind, and temperature changes often lead to early failures. Replacing lights every couple of years ends up costing more than you think.
4. Storage and Space
Boxes of tangled cords and burnt-out bulbs take up valuable storage space — and every year, something breaks, tangles, or goes missing.
5. Energy Inefficiency
Even LED string lights draw more power than today’s advanced permanent lighting systems. Over time, electricity costs make seasonal lighting less efficient and more expensive.
Why Permanent Lighting Is Worth the Investment
1. Set It and Forget It
With permanent exterior lighting, you never have to climb a ladder again. Your system stays in place year-round, completely weatherproof, and ready for any occasion. Control your lights from your smartphone to instantly change colours, brightness, or effects.
2. Long-Lasting and Weatherproof
Our lighting systems are designed for Canadian weather. Every component is rated for snow, ice, UV, and heat — providing year-round reliability with minimal maintenance.
3. Energy Efficient and Cost Effective
Infinity Lights systems use premium, low-wattage LEDs that provide maximum brightness at a fraction of the energy cost. Over time, the savings on hydro alone can offset part of your installation.
4. Enhances Your Property Value
A professionally installed permanent lighting system instantly boosts curb appeal. It adds a modern, finished look that buyers notice and appreciate — especially during evening hours.
5. Minimal Maintenance
Aside from an occasional check or cleaning, permanent systems require almost no upkeep. No bulbs to replace, no cords to store, and no annual setup fees.
