Christmas Light Installation in Bannockburn, IL
Custom Christmas lighting and permanent roofline lighting for Bannockburn, a village of roughly a thousand people on two acre minimums, where the house is usually further from the road than the road is wide.
The Unique Charm of Bannockburn
Bannockburn incorporated in 1929 and still holds only about 1,013 residents across 2.05 square miles, which makes it one of the smallest places we work and one of the least dense. The village began with a one acre minimum on home lots and later raised it to two, and that single rule explains most of what a lighting plan has to solve here. The Tri State Tollway was cut through the western edge in the 1950s and the Route 22 commercial zone was established in 1984. Trinity International University and its divinity school occupy the main campus, Stericycle keeps offices here, and Frank Lloyd Wright's Friedman house sits among the wooded lots. Lake Forest is north, Deerfield south, Highland Park and Highwood east. We love contributing to the local character of Bannockburn with our beautiful lighting designs, whether seasonal or permanent.
Our Services in Bannockburn
From magical Christmas displays to permanent architectural lighting, we have professional solutions for every property and every season.
Residential Holiday Lighting
Two acre minimums put most houses well back behind mature trees, so the first design question is what survives the distance. C9 bulbs on wide spacing hold a line at 150 feet where mini lights simply vanish, and a roofline half hidden by oaks needs the unobstructed runs emphasised rather than an even wash across everything. Every residential package is all inclusive: custom design, install, mid season maintenance, takedown and storage.
Commercial Holiday Lighting
Bannockburn's commercial frontage is concentrated in the Route 22 zone and around the Trinity campus. Buildings there are seen at speed from Route 22 or across a parking field, so a defined roof edge and a lit entry do more than detail work nobody is close enough to read.
A thousand residents, and no Metra platform
Bannockburn has no train station. Nobody walks home past your house from a platform, which means the audience for residential lighting is drivers on Waukegan Road, Half Day Road and Route 22, and guests arriving up a private drive. We design for those two viewing positions specifically: a strong continuous roof line that reads from the road at speed, and closer detail at the entry and the drive where people actually arrive. Spending the budget evenly across both is the most common way an estate install underperforms.
What a Bannockburn install costs
Seasonal lighting for an average house starts at $799 and up, depending on the complexity, height and access of the job. Bannockburn sits above that starting number almost always, because two acre zoning produces wide houses on long frontages and the setback forces larger bulbs on longer runs. Wooded lots add access time as well as footage, since a ladder cannot always go where the roofline needs it. We quote the whole job after we walk the roofline, never off a rate card or a square footage table.

These Christmas string lights were exactly what I was looking for, they are nicely spaced apart and give off a nice warm glow. It really looks good and adds a great ambiance. I was really impressed with the "Hanging Lights Club "they are professional and dedicated with their job. It was cold that day when they put the Christmas lights and they dont stop until they did not see the final outcome of their work.They are amazing and spectacular.I will recommend "Hanging Lights Club". If you are like us and could not wait until Christmas came around every year, then you are more likely to want to re-create that Holiday feeling which you can do by hanging Christmas Lights up.Imagine that joyful feeling you will get as you drive home each day to see your home beautifully lit up with Christmas Joy.

We hired Hanging Lights Club last year to set up lights for Diwali. They did such an amazing job that we called them again this year. This time we upgraded to color changing lights so we can use them for other holidays like Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. The team was professional and friendly. I really loved how the set up turned out for us this year!
