Charles and Wanda have lived in their Cincinnati home for over 30 years. Every December, their house lit up the block – Charles would get onto the roof and string lights across the entire roof – they had two large trees they would drape trunk to tip in with 100s of lights. You could see their house from a block away. 

But a few years ago, things changed.

Charles, now 72, had undergone surgery on his knee and their two trees sadly had to be removed from their yard. With the trees gone, and Charles feeling uneasy on a ladder – their Christmas cheer had went away with their light show. 

“I didn’t want him up there,” Wanda said. “But it broke our hearts. The lights were our tradition.”

And they weren’t alone.

🎅 The Truth About Traditional Holiday Lights in Cincinnati

Let’s face it — the weather in Cincinnati is no friend to holiday decorating. The wind, the ice, the ladder-wobbling kind of cold that makes your fingers go numb just uncoiling the extension cords.

Every winter, homeowners across deal with:

• Dangerous setups on icy rooftops

• Cords and tangled strands

• Paying for seasonal install crews that rush and overcharge

• And worst of all — doing it all again next year

Charles and Wanda were ready to call it quits — until they heard about Lumenary Pro, a permanent outdoor lighting system designed to look beautiful all year, with just a tap of an app.

 💡 The Lightbulb Moment

Wanda found Lumenary Pro after seeing an ad on Facebook. When she first showed Charles, he wasn’t sure about having Christmas lights up all year – the cords, the mess, the upkeep. 

It wasn’t until they watched Lumenary Pro’s explainer video about permanent lights that they realized there was no up-keep, cords (or wires) – and they could use them year round for events outside of Christmas because they are customizable. 

No cords. No ladders. No cold fingers.

Just a simple, elegant light track – invisible by day, brilliant by night – controlled entirely by your phone.

“The app made me a bit nervous as i’m not a computers guy” Charles said. 

“It’s so easy to use he was playing around with the lights before he was shown how to use it” Wanda joked. 

🔧 What Makes Lumenary Pro Different?

Charles isn’t a tech guy. He just upgraded to an iphone from a flip phone last year and calls Alexa “that robot woman.” at our daughters house and even he was impressed.

Here’s what made them switch:

• Custom Color-Matched Installation
  “Charles really didn’t want any exposed wires or cords especially year round. When he learnt that everything was concealed and color matched to the metal thingamajigs (soffits) he was sold.”

• Permanent Track System Custom Fabricated – Without Delay
  When we were told everything was custom made to our house we thought it might take a long time to get an install but we were up and running within 9 days.

• App-Controlled, Year-Round Lighting
  “We love that we can use them for every holiday now, but I don’t love that Charles changes them during election time. I usually turn them all pink when he tries to do that. It’s silly fun we have together.”

• Warranty-Backed & Maintenance-Free
  “We always say they don’t make things like they used to, but lights are like me and they have only got better with time” Charles jokes “The warranty made me feel better about the price because I knew I wouldn’t be fixing the d*mned things!” 

🎁 “It Brought the Magic Back”

Now, every night in December, their lights sparkle to a custom playlist of red, white, and green. Charles doesn’t climb ladders anymore — he changes the colors from the couch.

Wanda even scheduled them to Frozen Colors for their granddaughters birthday and she absolutely loved it.
