Indianapolis Professional Christmas Light Installers
USA Lighting designs and installs professional Christmas lighting for homes and businesses across the Indianapolis metro — from Meridian Hills and Geist to Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville, Westfield, and Zionsville. Since 2015, our crews have completed more than 2,600 lighting projects, and every holiday season our calendar fills with displays that neighbors slow down to see.
Every display starts with design, not ladders. We produce a professional photo layout or rendering of your home showing exactly which rooflines we'll outline, which trees we'll wrap, and how garland and wreaths will frame the entry — approved by you before a single clip goes on the gutter. It's the same design-led process behind our landscape lighting, applied to the most festive weeks of the year.
The lights themselves are commercial-grade C9, C7, and mini LEDs that we provide and own — brighter and more durable than retail strands, with wiring gauged for Indiana winters. You never buy boxes of lights, untangle anything in November, or hunt for storage space in January. We install beginning in October, service outages all season (usually within days), then remove and store everything at our shop.
One project price covers all of it. See recent installs in our Christmas lighting gallery, or if you'd rather keep your roofline lit year-round, ask about permanent lighting — many clients combine the two. Ready for a display you never have to think about? Book a free design consultation before the October calendar fills.
Why Indianapolis Books USA Lighting Every Season
Fully managed start to finish. Expert, design-led displays. No ladders, no tangled boxes, no December surprises.
Design You Approve First
You see a professional photo layout or rendering of your display — exactly what your home will look like — before a single light goes up.
Installs Begin in October
About 75% of displays are installed in October, with additional installs through November. Starting early ensures your home is finished before winter weather.
Service Through the Season
Bulb out? Strand failure after a storm? Call us — service is included and we usually fix it within a week.
Take-Down in January
Displays are removed throughout January, weather permitting. We can store everything off-site so your garage stays clean and your lights are ready for next season.
Lights Provided & Owned By Us
We provide and own the lights — commercial-grade C9, C7, and mini LEDs with the right wire gauge for Indiana cold. No need to dig anything out of the attic, no replacing strands every other year, no half-lit roofline on December 12.
In-Season Service Calls
If a strand goes out mid-season, we send a tech to fix it — usually same week. That's the part DIY installs and discount-app crews don't include.
Garland, Wreaths & Greenery
Lighting is only half the display. We install lit garland along railings, columns, and entryways, and hang pre-lit wreaths where they anchor the design — the layered, finished details that separate a professionally installed display from a strand of lights on a gutter.
Holiday Lighting Installation, Roofline to Yard
We layer lights across the whole property so the display feels intentional from every angle.
Roofline & Ridges
Classic C9 or C7 bulbs along the roof edge, ridges, gables, and dormers. The signature holiday outline.
Wrapped Trees
Mini LEDs wrapped tightly around trunks and major limbs — warm white, multicolor, or a mix. The detail that makes the front yard.
Bushes & Shrubs
Foundation plantings wrapped in mini lights — the layer that fills in the lower facade and makes a display feel complete from the street.
Wreaths & Garland
Pre-lit wreaths on the front door, illuminated garland on columns, railings, and porch posts.
Pathway & Driveway
Ground-level lighting accents along walkways and the drive entry — a warm, finished approach that guides guests to the front door.
Custom Features
Custom architectural features — lit entryways, columns, and archways, finished with wreaths and garland that frame the home and elevate the whole display.
Warm White, Multicolor, or Full Custom Displays
Classic warm white reads elegant and timeless — it's the look most Carmel and Zionsville homes choose, and it photographs beautifully against snow. Traditional multicolor brings the nostalgic, kid-favorite glow, and the two layer especially well together: multicolor on trees and shrubs with warm white holding the roofline.
Because the design is approved before installation, you can go as classic or as custom as you like — alternating bulb patterns, candy-cane red and white, or a fully layered display with wrapped trunks, lit garland, wreaths in every window, and pathway lighting up the drive. Want a different look next year? We redesign it. The lights are ours, so you're never locked into what's in your attic.

Christmas Light Installation FAQ
We provide them. The lights are commercial-grade C9, C7, and mini LEDs that we own — you don't have to dig anything out of the attic, store anything in January, or replace strands every few years. The same set of lights gets used year after year as part of your service.
Sooner is better. Installs begin in October — when about three-quarters of our displays go up — and continue through November. The calendar typically fills by early fall, so to secure an early install date, book by August or September.
Call us. In-season service is included in your Christmas lighting package — usually we have a tech out within a few days. We won't leave you with a half-dark roofline on December 18th.
Yes to both. Displays are removed throughout January, weather permitting. Off-site storage is optional and included for most clients — we store your lights at our shop so your garage stays clean and everything is ready for next season.
Most residential Christmas lighting installations in the Indianapolis area run between $1,500 and $10,000, depending on the length of roofline outlined, the number of trees and shrubs wrapped, and greenery like garland and wreaths. Your quote is one project price that covers design, commercial-grade lights, installation, in-season service, and take-down — no surprise add-ons. Request a free design consultation for an exact number for your home.
Yes. We design and install holiday lighting for storefronts, offices, restaurants, and community entrances across the Indianapolis metro. Commercial displays follow the same fully managed model as our residential installs: design approval first, commercial-grade LED lighting, in-season service, and January take-down.
We do. Our crews install Christmas lighting throughout the Indianapolis metro, including Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville, Westfield, Zionsville, Geist, Brownsburg, Avon, Greenwood, Plainfield, and McCordsville. If you're just outside those areas, contact us — we can often still help.
Almost always. Because every display starts with a design you approve — classic warm white, traditional multicolor, or something custom — it's easy to keep the look tasteful and within HOA guidelines. Professionally installed roofline lighting with straight lines and uniform spacing is exactly the clean look most neighborhoods want.
Seasonal Christmas lighting gives you a full custom display — wrapped trees, garland, wreaths, and roofline — installed and removed each year, with nothing on your home the rest of the year. Permanent lighting keeps low-profile programmable LEDs on your roofline year-round. Many clients combine the two. We install both, so we'll recommend whichever fits your home and budget best.
Most residential installs are completed in a few hours to a single day, depending on the size of the display. The bigger factor is scheduling: installs begin in October and the calendar fills through the fall, so booking by late summer secures the install window you want.
