In this episode of the Christmas Light Installers Mastermind Podcast, we’re joined by Armando Gutierrez from InvisiLights to break down everything installers need to know about permanent lighting and why it’s one of the smartest additions to a Christmas light installation business right now.

We’re currently in takedown season, and while most installers are focused on wrapping up Christmas jobs, this is actually the perfect time to start planning what’s next. Armando shares real-world insight into how permanent lighting can create year-round revenue, keep crews working, and help installers transition from seasonal to sustainable businesses.

In this episode, we discuss:

• What permanent lighting really is (and what it’s not)
• Why takedown season is the best time to prepare for permanent lighting
• How permanent lighting complements a Christmas light business
• Common mistakes installers make when getting started
• Why hands-on training matters
• How installers are using permanent lighting to grow in the off-season

If you’re a Christmas light installer wondering what your next move should be after takedowns, this episode will help you start thinking strategically about the future of your business.
