As any designer, artist or architect
will say, lighting is everything — and it’s
a majorly underappreciated asset when
it comes to the exterior of your home.
All it takes is a little lighting to
completely transform a space. For
instance, throw icicle lights on any
house and it’s instantly decorated for
Christmas; light up some tiki torches
along the driveway and you’ve got
yourself a summer party.
That’s just the beginning, though.
With a permanent outdoor lighting
system from Leading Edge Decorative
Lighting, the ways to use outdoor lights
are nearly endless. Cofounded by Ryan
Amoroso and Mike Genzlinger, Leading
Edge Decorative Lighting is changing
the game on how exterior lights are
used.
“The feedback we get from
customers is that they use them more
than they initially thought,” Genzlinger
said. “I think a lot of people sign up
thinking they’re going to replace their
Christmas lights and just use them
around the holiday, and they see the
value in that, but once they get them
on and see the versatility of it, they
realize there’s never going to be a day
that they’re not in use.”
Even when it comes to the
holidays, lights are no longer limited
to Christmastime. With 30 patterns, 14
different movement settings and 16 million color options, the same lights
used for Christmas can be customized
to use for Valentine’s Day, Easter,
Memorial Day — you name it — without
ever having to get out the ladder.
“Switching to permanent Christmas
lights from traditional holiday lighting
was the best decision I’ve made,”
said Timothy Krauss, a Leading Edge
Decorative Lighting customer from
Gilbert. “They look fantastic year-round,
and I no longer have to go
through the hassle of putting up
lights every season. I would highly
recommend permanent Christmas
lights to anyone looking for an easy
and convenient solution for their
holiday lighting.”
Besides holiday lighting, other
uses include accent, security and patio
lighting. These features can be used to
accent architectural elements of your
home, increase safety and wow guests.
“People are impressed by how
much they can do with them — how
many different patterns, how many
colors they can set up,” Amoroso said.
“It’s not just an initial reaction, either.
It continues to grow on them, because
as you start to work within the app and
find out exactly how much you can do
and what different colors or patterns
you can create, I think most people find
new excitement in playing with it.”
He added that not everyone
is looking for all the colors and
movement, instead opting for simple
accent lighting. That’s a need Leading
Edge Decorative Lighting fulfills as well.
“I recently had permanent accent
lighting installed on my property and
I couldn’t be happier with the result,”
said Julianna Galvis, a Queen Creek
customer. “Leading Edge did a fantastic
job, and the lights look absolutely
stunning. It has definitely made my
home feel more welcoming.”
