Christmas lights in Philo
Professional Christmas light installers in Philo
Philo is fifteen minutes from our Champaign base and one of the first towns we lit outside the city. The two-stories on the original grid have the front porches and gables that make warm white C9s and porch garland look like they belong, and the newer ranches on the north edge show a clean single roofline from the road.
Every Philo install is full service: design, commercial-grade lights, free maintenance, January takedown and storage, on the same route we run for Tolono and Sidney.
Whether you're looking for a Christmas light company, a Christmas light hanging service or full holiday light installation, every Philo 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. Want lights without the yearly cycle? See permanent lighting in Philo.
Local knowledge
We know Philo's homes
Older two-stories near Washington Street pair a roofline outline with porch-rail garland and a wreath. The brick ranches of the 1960s and 70s look best with a single clean line and lit shrubs. Newer ranches take a full outline with lit beds, and farmhouses toward Sidney add fence and barn lines that show from Route 130.
Weather note for Philo: Philo is open prairie on all sides with steady winter wind from the west. We use tight clip spacing and anchor every peak.

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!
