For those of us that put a high value on privacy they are worthless. I hope to NEVER have to live someplace where anyone that wants to can see my house.
They are just a peter measuring contest for culdesac people. Ah, there’s the miserable prick nobody cares to hear from.

What is the deal with the cul-de-sac? I lived on one for 19 years, then moved, and he said I move "every 5 minutes."  One, relentless theme. His only purpose for coming on here. What a miserable way to live. Poor bastard.

It used to be tacky to keep Christmas lights up year round; now people pay good money for it. During the day you never know they are there until you’re about 20 feet away and you know to look for them

Are they like strip lights in a housing? And are they mounted with screws or nails and plugged into one another on a long run? If so, it sounds fairly easy to mount. Sounds like they're making some good bucks for very little labor.

Who? I had a quote from jellyfish and one from everlights. Both were within $300 of each other. Front and sides around 6k. That’s 5 years worth of traditional lights just for the Christmas season

I am no so interested in for Christmas but I like to outline my roof line with LED Clear lights to accent my house

I have crazy high roof lines and tourrette to get framed out with lights I am good with the price, seems pretty cheap to me to be honest.

Even if I were high rollin don't think that would be for me. I hear you, For me I have no issues or second thoughts about spending money on my house or where I live. I want the best I can get for my dollars, I learned this lesson many years ago. I want the best mattress, the upper end appliances, the top of the line HVAC equipment, it seems if you spend just a tad more than going price your return of investment is much greater and you get a much superior product.

This. I’ve never been upset about the money I spent on my house or shop. People think I’m crazy when I tell them my 30x40 shop was $70,000, but it’s exactly what I wanted.
