At Patti’s 1880s Settlement in Grand Rivers, Kentucky, holiday lights are more than a simple decoration – they’re the main attraction. The family-friendly activity center hangs more than one million holiday lights each year, specializing in expansive custom displays. From end to end, Maintenance Supervisor Ricky Hamilton estimates that his team uses more than six miles of extension cords to connect all the strands while incorporating more than 60 Intermatic Timers to manage lighting schedules throughout the holiday season.

In this video, Hamilton shares how durable, long-lasting solutions like the Intermatic T100 Series help his team create world class lighting displays year after year, all while saving time and reducing maintenance needs. Hamilton also discusses how Intermatic plug-in timers and digital timers allow him to control the property’s water pumps, security lights and more.

The festive displays are a good reminder that, whether you’re a homeowner putting up lights in the front yard or a business owner decorating a commercial space, having the right controls can make a world of difference.

Power surge protection for you whole home.

Whether you’re competing for the biggest holiday light show on the block or putting up a few modest decorations, you may be overlooking one small but very helpful aspect of the holiday decorating process – timer controls.

Installing simple plug-in timers alongside holiday lights helps ensure your home is lit to perfection while offering added convenience amid the bustle of the festive season. After all, nothing puts a damper on a cozy winter evening like having to trudge outside in the cold to shut off your outdoor holiday lights.

Plug-in timer controls can be installed in minutes both inside the home and outdoors. Outdoor models include enclosures that are specifically designed to stand up to winter weather conditions, while indoor solutions make for easy scheduling of Christmas tree lights, mantle decorations and more.

Whether it’s spending less at the gas pump, bringing reusable bags to the grocery store or turning down the office thermostat, individuals everywhere are looking for ways to reduce their environmental footprint and promote energy efficiency.

At Intermatic, we know that the use of electricity plays a vital role in the long-term health of our environment. In fact, electricity is the single greatest source of greenhouse gas contributions in the United States. This makes installing energy controls, such as timer controls, occupancy sensors and photocontrols, critical to promoting sustainability in residential, municipal and commercial settings.

Join us in celebrating this Earth Day as we highlight eco-friendly solutions that help businesses, municipalities, facilities, homes and more curb energy waste and lower utility costs.
