My take on it it…. Just my 2 Cents.

We’re in The Villages, right? This is our time to enjoy what life we have left, to make the most of it. Sports, family, celebrating our country – that's what it's all about.

And those lights...They just add to the fun. Light up your house in your favorite team's colors for game day. Christmas, 4th of July, Mardi Gras, New Years etc.
And the grandkids absolutely love them.

I put them on my place, my uncle's, and my mom and stepfather houses. I can't tell you how many people walking or driving by ask if I can get them installed on their houses too!

So, I partnered with a company, that will install them with my assistance and personally guide each homeowner and show them how to control the brightness, change the color patterns, set the timers, and how to keep the movement subtle.

When nothing special's going on, I just light up the corners in a dark blue. I like the way it looks, and honestly, I think it adds a little security. Makes the place look like it's got a system, you know? Like, 'they probably have cameras too, I'm not messing with that house.'

Life's short, right? We're here to enjoy it.

I added a few pictures. If you're curious about those lights, and want them installed, just give me a holler for details.

Best Regards to all if you like them or not ;-)
They only “benefit” the neighbors because they have to look a them from across the street all the time. How do you “benefit” when you’re siting inside the house?? Same with wind chimes and all the other stuff outside of your home we get to hear and look at while your inside the home. Different perspective, why not put crazy colored lights or have a fan blowing on a wind chime inside the house?
