Pack Your Bags and Don’t Look Back

The Holidays mean long car trips and packing the minimum airline weight for your luggage.  They also mean leaving your home empty.  You don’t want to be worrying about your house’s safety while you’re away with family and friends.  With controlled lighting, you can have the peace of mind that unwelcome guests will steer clear away.

Once you’re ready to leave for your trip, set the house lighting to all shut down once you press a button.  Simply use your tablet, smartphone or device, or even a wall panel, to make sure every light is off.  But when you feel uneasy about leaving the house bare and vacant-looking, program the lights to the “Away” setting.  They will automatically turn on at times you set for them to do so.  Your home will appear lived-in, while you’re enjoying homemade food and gifts with the family.

Host the Perfect Party for All

Lighting can drastically change the entire mood of an event.  Welcome your guests to a properly lit and decorated home for the holidays.  Place themed lighting along the sidewalk and walkway, ensuring they have a lit path to your front door.  Enhance the festivities by setting lights to dim after dinnertime to create ambiance, or have them brighten as everyone exchanges presents.  Manage the lights so there won’t be a glare on the TV screen as everyone crowds around to watch the game.  Then, when the party is over or when things are winding down, lower the living room lights completely, as you pop in your favorite holiday movie for everyone to enjoy.  Your holiday party is made easy and stress-free when you have controlled lighting in place.

Don’t let the holidays bring the blues.  Keep your plans festive and cheerful, while still ensuring your family is safe and your home is secure.  To learn more, contact us at (210) 858-6954 or online through our contact page.
