No Fuss Lights “Christmasizes” Stafford Centre

When it comes to bringing the joy and wonder of Christmas to the greater Houston area, no one in the world can do it quicker than Santa Claus himself – after all, he can drop off toys to all of the (good little) children’s homes in the area in just one night.

But after St. Nick, No Fuss Lights has to be a close second in terms of rapid “Christmasizing.” Why? Because the No Fuss Lights crew managed to decorate the Stafford Centre Performing Arts Theatre and Convention Center in less than 48 hours!

That’s right! No Fuss Lights secured the contract to adorn the performing arts center and the surrounding trees with holiday lights; and less than 48 hours later, all of the lights were up and shining brightly for the world to see. In case you’re keeping score, that’s over 40 light-wrapped trees and about three thousand feet of Christmas lights on the building itself!

No Fuss Lights is honored to serve the city of Stafford by decorating one of the finest performing arts venues in the Houston area. Given how fast No Fuss Lights was able to beautify the Stafford Centre, you can imagine how your own home will look after the skilled designers and lighting technicians work their magic – turning your house into the envy of the neighborhood!

Ten Things You Can Do Instead of Putting Up Christmas Lights

Do you really have the time or the inclination to struggle with ladders, bulbs, extension cords, and light strands this holiday season? Then why put yourself through all of that stress?

Here are ten things you could be doing instead:

1. Watch football, baseball, or hockey on TV. Face it – that’s how you really want to spend your weekend, right?

2. Binge watch. You know that TV series that debuted this fall that everyone raved about but you didn’t have time to watch? Go to your favorite on-demand service and watch all of the episodes all at once.

3. Winterize your car. Make sure it’s got enough antifreeze in it, and check the tires to make sure they’re properly inflated. You’ll need your vehicle to be in tiptop shape for those holiday errands and road trips.

4. Winterize your home. Check you smoke detectors, inspect your gas heaters, and wrap your pipes. It may not be super-fun, but it’s better than trying to check Christmas light bulbs to see which one on the strand isn’t working.

5. Do a crossword puzzle (or Sudoku). No matter the difficulty level, it’ll be easier than trying to unravel the Gordian-knotted Christmas lights that have been sitting in the attic for ten months.

6. Go outside and stroll/jog/walk the dog. It’s good exercise, it gets you outdoors, and you can chuckle each time you hear a neighbor curse while putting up his Christmas lights.

7. Spend time with your kids. You’ll have a lot more fun with them than you would if your leg is in a cast after falling off a ladder while hanging your Christmas lights.

8. Get started on your Christmas shopping early. Unless you enjoy searching for parking spaces and battling crowds at the mall because you waited til the last minute.

9. Go to a holiday show. That’ll get you in the Christmas spirit much quicker than hanging Christmas lights will.

10. Sleep. No explanation needed.

Instead of hanging the lights yourself, call the professionals at No Fuss Lights to handle the task for you. They’ll take care of all of the decorating, make your home the envy of the neighborhood, and take it all down after the holiday season is over.

Set Up Your Christmas Light Installation Appointment Now

It’s completely understandable.

Because it’s just mid-October, you don’t want to think about Christmas right now. Even though the holiday displays and merchandise are already up inside most stores. Even though you’re starting to see Christmas commercials on TV and trailers for Christmas movies in theaters.

You’ve already got enough on your plate dealing with a busy autumn, working on securing Halloween costumes, or preparing for Thanksgiving. At this point, you don’t have time to worry about all of the tasks, responsibilities, and social engagements involved with Christmas.

No Fuss Lights gets it, too. But that’s where they can help.

Because if you give them a call today or fill out the contact form on this website, you can get on their schedule before anyone else in the Houston area even has Christmas on their radar. The professionals at No Fuss Lights will do the rest – measuring your home, quoting you an estimate, installing all of your lights and holiday displays, maintaining them during the holiday season, and then packing everything up when Christmas is over.

Then you can spend the rest of October focused on the things that you need to get done today – without stressing over a holiday that’s still several weeks away. And when the Christmas season does roll around, that’ll be one less item on your to-do list that needs to be completed.

For optimal flexibility, go ahead and book your appointment with No Fuss Lights before November 1. Just call 281-809-7021 today, or fill out the contact form here and a No Fuss Lights representative will contact you within 24 hours.

Then you can sit back, enjoy October, and not even think about that late-December holiday.

LED Christmas Lights Are More Efficient – And Safer, Too!

You may have heard about some of the advantages of using LED bulbs for your Christmas lights instead of the standard incandescent bulbs. For starters, LED Christmas lights are more durable and versatile than their incandescent counterparts. But the biggest advantage to LED lights is their efficiency – which also makes you and your family safer.

That’s because while an incandescent string of holiday lights can emit 20 watts (or more) of heat, a similar strand of LED lights puts out only five watts of heat. Obviously, this means that a Christmas display made up of LED lights will be more efficient and use less electricity than the incandescent lighting displays of years past.

But using LED lights for your holiday decorating needs also helps protect your family – especially the little ones in your home. If you’ve ever touched an incandescent bulb, you know how hot it can get. So if these bulbs were to make contact with the tender skin of a child, he or she could suffer a painful burn. Even if it isn’t severe enough to require medical attention, such a burn would make any little one miserable.

In contrast, children won’t be harmed by touching LED lights because the bulbs aren’t very hot to the touch. That means you can feel better about placing more Christmas lights in and around you home in areas which may be within a child’s reach – like on a lawn decoration, Christmas tree, or a strand of lights that frames a door or window.

No Fuss Lights uses only high-quality LED lights in all of their holiday lighting displays. This helps all homeowners minimize their environmental impact, power usage, and risk of harm to their children.
