Any recommendations on Christmas lights installation? Hubby doesn't want to climb on the roof anymore with his bad back. I've heard it's quite expensive.

Congrats on the kinky fornication.

Always remember, no matter how much you sweat don't let go of the ropes.

Even poors can afford them

DIY LED soffit lights

Do any of you actually have these? Everyone on my street puts up lights and it pisses me off more every year having to put them up and take them down. If these work as advertised I would pay someone to install them and only light them up for Christmas.

It those specifically, but I did put up permanent lights this year. They are awesome. When you aren't using them for Christmas lights, you can use them for accent/security lighting. The set I use lets you turn on individual lights, so I can just light up the peaks of the roof and corners with a nice, solid white light.

We don't run the lights all the time, but it was fun to turn them on for Halloween. The color options/patterns are very customizable, so you can make them do whatever you want.

Get permanent LED lighting installed. You can light up for Christmas, RWB on 4th of July, Orange on Halloween, etc

---

Worst thing you can do is this. Looks so tacky. Makes your house look like a UFO. Our HOA has banned these. Hire someone to put in some nice C9s.

---

I'd love to see that language in your HOA docs. No way that's enforceable unless people are running them year round. I'm not going to spend $400+ a year or risk climbing for roof lights. We put plenty of traditional lights and decorations along the driveway, trees and yard.

---

You can certainly enforce a restriction that says "jellyfish style" lights aren't allowed.
What you can't enforce is allowing jellyfish lights but put restrictions on when they can/can't be used. Therefore many HOAs are just prohibiting them outright.

---

you have this backwards. an Hoa can very easily restrict 'holiday' lighting when it's not a holiday. Holiday lights can be defined as lights of any color outside of white, or continuous eve/trim lights spaced 6-12" apart, etc. and they can restrict them if it's more than x weeks before/y weeks after the holiday. This is standard for most hoas.

But outside of holidays, permanent lights can be used as security and accent lighting, which is much tougher for an Hoa to restrict. They generally can't tell people they can't have security lighting which can be defined as isolated lighting in certain areas. They can make guidelines like it can't point at a neighbors house, but permanent lighting is fully controllable and as pointed out above, you can have on just a handful of them at peaks or in certain spots, every 5', or whatever.

I was on my Hoa board for 6 years.
