Christmas lights in Decatur
Professional Christmas light installers in Decatur
Decatur has holiday lighting traditions that go back generations, and the lakefront homes of South Shores, the big two-stories in Forsyth and Mt. Zion and the historic houses of the West End are where those traditions show best. A warm white C9 roofline reflecting off Lake Decatur, or outlining the stone gables of a West End home near Millikin, is the kind of display people drive across town to see.
We serve Decatur and its suburbs from our Champaign base, about 55 minutes down I-72, on dedicated Macon County install days through the season. Every install is full service: design, commercial-grade lights, free maintenance, January takedown and storage.
Whether you're looking for a Christmas light company, a Christmas light hanging service or full holiday light installation, every Decatur install follows our five-step full-service process: we design the layout for your home, install commercial-grade LED C9 lights on custom-cut lines with roof-safe clips, maintain the display at no charge all season, take it down in January, and store it until next year.

Local knowledge
We know Decatur's homes
South Shores and the Lake Decatur shoreline are Decatur's signature lighting addresses, and we often light both the street and lake sides so the display reflects on the water. Forsyth and Mt. Zion have the largest newer two-stories in the area, with multiple gables that take a full C9 outline. The West End near Millikin has brick and stone homes with ornate rooflines and old trees, where garland, wreaths and wrapped trunks complete the design. Across north and west Decatur, mid-century ranches look best with a single clean roofline and lit shrubs.
Weather note for Decatur: Decatur's lakefront homes get wind and moisture off Lake Decatur, and the mature trees of the West End shed ice after storms. We use weather-sealed sockets, tight clips on lake-facing rooflines and route lines clear of drip points.

Our lights were amazing. Lights were done quickly and efficiently. When the season was over he was back to take them down just when he said he would. We have had him put our lights up for several years and will continue to! Highly recommended.

We just had our lights installed by Midwest Holiday Lighting on Thanksgiving day. We just called them and let them know we would like them to do our light install and they worked us in quickly. They were very friendly, knowledgeable, courteous, and patient. We love the holiday lighting they installed on our house and will use them for years to come. They provided all the materials, completed the install quickly, and will store the lights for us during the off season. I added the wreath last minute and they had all the supplies to install it. We could not be happier with Tom and his crew and the job they did installing our lights. Thank You Midwest Holiday Lighting for making our holidays feel more merry and our home look brighter! Enjoy!
