The life of an integrator can appear to be ‘all business,’ as there’s so much that goes into getting it right. But at the end of the day, we can all relate to the joyful feeling of seeing a completed project that we have worked on come to life.

In the spirit of the most joyful season of all and the industry we’ve dedicated our lives to, we’ve compiled some of our very favorite holiday light displays and some that have definitely gone wild. After all, we all know that light displays are more intricate than they look – if one goes out, they all go out!
