Set It and Forget It: How Timers Make Holiday Lighting Easy and Efficient
January 13, 2025

Turning your lights on every evening, then remembering to turn them off before bed—it’s one more thing to juggle during an already busy season. And if you forget, you could end up wasting energy or waking up to a pitch-black house during a holiday party.

That’s why every On Point Holiday Lighting setup includes automatic timers—so you can enjoy your display without lifting a finger.

Here’s why timers are one of the most overlooked (but most appreciated) features of professional holiday lighting.

Lights That Work With Your Schedule

With our timer setups, you choose when your lights come on and go off each day. Some of the most popular options include:

  • On at sunset, off at midnight
  • On from 5:30–10:30 PM (perfect for guests or neighborhood viewing)
  • On all night during special events or holiday weekends

Once we program it, you don’t have to think about it again—it just works.

Save Energy Without Sacrificing Cheer

Leaving lights on all night may seem festive, but it can rack up electricity bills and contribute to unnecessary energy waste. Timers allow you to:

  • Minimize power usage
  • Reduce your carbon footprint
  • Extend the life of your lights

Plus, our commercial-grade LED lights are already ultra-efficient—timers make them even smarter.

Perfect for Travelers and Busy Families

Going out of town for the holidays? Hosting events and running errands nonstop? Timers ensure your home still looks bright, welcoming, and lived-in—even if you’re not there to flip a switch.

Many of our clients love how automated lighting adds a little extra peace of mind while they’re away.

Safe, Hands-Free Operation

You won’t need to:

  • Fumble with plugs in the cold
  • Worry about timers syncing with sunset
  • Navigate messy app setups or smart home devices

We handle the timer programming as part of your installation. Everything is tested and ready before we leave your property.

Included in Every Installation—At No Extra Cost

Unlike DIY kits that require you to buy extra timers or set up complicated smart plugs, our timer system is included with every On Point lighting package. It’s part of our promise to make the holidays easier for DFW families.
