“It looks so great! Can I use it indoors too?” Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Clearwater & Tampa Bay has been bustling around installing outdoor holiday lighting. We’ve heard this comment a time or two when residential and commercial clients see the exquisite holiday lighting pieces we use to dress up their yards or storefronts, and the answer is “Yes, of course you can!”
Pre-lit garlands and trees are beautiful both outdoors and in.
Actually in many instances, this strategy is desirable. By utilizing a few of the same, or at least similar, pieces inside and out, home/business owners can create a consistent holiday design that encompasses their whole property. Of course, if we were only using string lighting to create your holiday look this year, the approach might not be so effective. But with our wide range of pre-lit products, it’s easier than ever to create beautiful, coherent holiday décor both outdoors and indoors.
Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Clearwater & Tampa Bay develops holiday outdoor lighting designs with top of the line products. While we use the best holiday string lighting around, some of the most striking products include pre-lit Christmas trees, wreaths, garlands, and ornaments. With these products, there is no need to add lights. We simply place them and plug them in. We also have a wide range of 3-D holiday decorations composed of lights – starbursts and such to name a few. Beautiful outdoors, all of these decorations can certainly be used indoors as well, and no additional holiday lights need to be added.
Unity of style is created when decorations used outdoors are also used in the interiors of office buildings and showrooms.
While our outdoor lighting decorations work beautifully indoors, please don’t try to reverse this strategy. Indoor holiday lights should never be used outdoors, even if they are new. Indoor lights are not built to withstand the elements like their outdoor counterparts. The wear and tear of temperature change, precipitation, and traffic can quickly turn such decorations into fire hazards. Unless you’re friends with a group of firefighters and already plan to have them over for the holidays, I’m sure you don’t want them showing up in a big, red truck at your party. Outdoor holiday lights can come in, but indoor holiday lights should never go out.
So yes, use our outdoor lighting decorations indoors this holiday season. If Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Clearwater & Tampa Bay has already installed your holiday lights, let us know what you want to add indoors as soon as possible. That way, we can have it to you before the festivities start. If we haven’t yet installed your lights, hurry up! There may still be time to order pieces for indoor use before your install date. Whether hallway, great room, banister, or showroom, our holiday lighting decorations can be the perfect thread to unite interior and exterior during this “most wonderful time of the year.” Contact us today.
