"Prompt response, professional and friendly. Came on time for estimate and work scheduled. Cleaned the area after finishing up the project (adding recess lights to the kitchen). We are very satisfied! Thank you Hi5!"
"The work was impeccable. Carl installed the canned light and tied it into my other existing lights and you cant tell that the builders never had a light there. There was a mix up in scheduling after canceling for an emergency, so I dropped the review a star because it seemed like I had been forgotten about entirely. But less than an hour after I called, he was here and done about an hour later. Would hire again."
"I recently had the pleasure of having Ron provide me with truly extraordinary service. I needed 5 light fixtures installed throughout my home, so happy I called on him. Every aspect of my encounter surpassed all expectations, leaving me fully satisfied with the results. His attention to detail is remarkable and was a delight to have in my home. First time hiring, now I will forever be a loyal customer."
"We just love Blingle! We had such a positive experience with Blingle when they did our Christmas lights that we also used them for landscape lighting. The work was itself was excellent and very reasonbly priced, as my accountant husband definitely price shopped. But most importantly, we love that it is a local, family-owned business. The owners truly care about the work being down and the lighting guys themselves are hardworking and kind. We love to beep and wave at the Blingle van when we see it around town! Thanks, Blingle!"
"They did an outstanding job!… I would use them again in a heartbeat. I’ve been wanting to renovate, my old bedroom that was themed to look like a Florida panhandle, nice but it was so dated. They had me reimagine what it might look like if I took it up another notch,and they made it a more visually appealing and modern Caribbean vibe! I’m a guy so I need help on these things lol"

No, you should not leave LED Christmas lights up all year. While the LED lights themselves are very durable, their wiring and casings can be as vulnerable as any Christmas lights. They’re subject to drying out, experiencing cold or sun damage that causes them to crack, and even damage caused by gnawing pests. (The same is true of incandescents.) If you want your lights to last the years that they’re rated for, bring them inside after Christmas is over.
The five common types of landscape lighting are up-lighting, down-lighting, spotlights, built-in lighting, and pathway lighting.
Up-lighting casts light upwards from the ground, mostly for aesthetic purposes.
Down-lighting directs light onto the ground, lighting pathways, or outdoor space.
Spotlights cast direct, focused lighting in any direction.
Built-in lighting integrates lighting into an outdoor feature.
Your maintenance needs revolve around the type of foundation you choose, as well as how you furnish or decorate it. Patios require little else other than the occasional hose-down, but decks and other wooden structures will require annual power washing and sealing. You may also need to restain the wood every two to three years.
Adding a solid roof rather than building a pergola or leaving the space open will make maintenance much easier. Without a roof, you will need to spend more time sweeping, washing, and covering your furniture to protect it from UV bleaching.
Cold weather can cause older incandescent Christmas lights to fail by causing cracks in the finish or the glass itself. Modern LED lights are affected in the opposite way and perform even better as the temperature drops.
If you’ve gone through the troubleshooting checklist for your motion detector flood light and it’s still not working, it’s time to consider a new one. Older models that need frequent fixes can be unreliable. Newer flood lights feature advanced technology that improves your lights’ sensitivity and overall performance. If you’re fed up with unexpected darkness, investing in a new light can give you the lighting you need to feel secure.
