- Who knew I was a Christmas Light Contractor?? Surprise!
My other business is called Lets Get Lit, and is a Christmas Light Installation Business.
Our business model is to supply everything from the timer, cords and Christmas Lights all the way to the takedown AND storage of the lights all year.
Before you DM me on instagram asking me if the business is profitable, I'll just tell you that YES it is in a major way, and it scales year over year so fast it's unreal...when you do a great job of course!
This video was shot on location of our last install of the 2021 season in Madisonville LA.

Nick quit his 16 year "career" as as a District Manager for Journeys shoes in August 2019, and while he worked to scale Lets Get Lit and is Bounce House Business The Jump Off, he drove uber, sold trash that he found on the side of the road, and picked up as many odd jobs (like building swing sets) as he could.
Then in late 2019, Nick hit "The Bounce House lottery" (nickglassett.com/bounce-house...) and when the pandemic shut everything down in 2020, he sprung into action and took that moment to make The Jump Off and what it is today and lay the foundation for Lets Get Lit!

Another excellent video Nick ! Thanks for taking the time to show us this. Very in depth - Adam
You bet! Thank you Adam!
Thank you so much for taking the time to post this video. It was very educational and scary watching you on those ladders. I have never seen someone carry a ladder on another ladder to the roof of the house.....LOL
Haha you bet man!
Great job. Very helpful
Thank you brother...first year doing any lights , most people sell a course or something, appreciate the video
I have one too
For measuring gables, why don't you multiply your height and width measurement, then divide by 2? This should give you your entire length of the gable.
so good
Great video! Thank you!!
I’ve got everything I need, to do the whole perimeter of my house as well as the ridges. Do you recommend that I do the perimeter and gables first and then add inline females to run up for the ridges? I have a 500 socket cord, so I know I’ll have to use at least two outlets..I’m just not quite sure where to start... I’d even be willing to pay you for a 10 minute consultation call for advice. Any advice is helpful! Thanks in advance!
Yep do it just like that! And 500 bulbs is only one outlet
Great videos Nick.
Quick question. Its my first year in the Christmas light business. How do you hire and train people and retain them for the next year with it being such a short season to expand # of houses beyond a 1 man crew? I do not have a complimentary seasonal business.
Pay them really well so they want to come back next year!
Hey Nick thinking about getting into the Light business hopefully this up coming season 🙏🏾 I Don't want to over buy but I Don't wanna under buy when it comes to stocking up..plugs.lights. clips ect.. looking back when u first started was there anything you wish you bought more or less of ?
Buy more of everything if you plan on going hard! I was playing catch-up my whole first season and it was expensive and stressful! Planned for about 40 homes, goal was 60, we did 110!!
do you re do your insurance policy for doing this every year or just run on the same GL policy as the jump off?
Have to have a separate policy for your separate LLC. Inflatables are way too risky to lump in with another business man
Do you need like permission from the distributers to resell there products/use there products in your builds.
Ex: If I were to buy a strand wire and lights from a company.
Nope. Buy away letsgetlitsupply.com
Why do professional light installers like to install lights pointing out or pointing up versus pointing down? Is there a specific reason for this?
The clips are designed that way AND the bulb is brightest at the top aka pointing out. There is guys that point them down tho just not a large portion
I couldn’t see the “binder clips” what is that?

Great video, where do you buy your lines and lights from?
he named a couple suppliers in the video..
Https://www.christmaslightcontractorsusa.com/?ref=pi14paeo32 higher here my friend!!
What if a house doesn’t want the lights the next year?
Recycle baby
Is that spt 1 zip cord you use? Is this better than regular extension cord?
Yep spt 1! It’s not better or worse than an extension just easier cause the wire is so thin. Spt 1 and 2 are both 18 gauge wire, spt 2 just has thicker insulation. Most extension cords are 16 gauge and groused (but no Xmas lights have a ground so that’s irrelevant)
@@nick_o_glass do you run all your lights out of a single electrical outlet?
@@Bacongood4u yep out of the 110 houses we did this season only 1 had multiple timers. Had 3 homes that were over 500 bulbs
@@nick_o_glass thanks seems like a great business
Great video! Do you usually do all LED lights these days??
100%
So how are you quoting the price for the client before the install??
Measure via google earth! I have a video on that
I have a 24ft double wet and dry slide I'm letting it go fir 2000. It's a 7,000. Dollar slide and if your nit interested do you know any one that might be
No sorry
Hun:” See that”
Me: no ur a mile away 😂
😂
How much do you charge? Do you go by Profit margin or ??
Base price $7/ft
Where do you get the bouncy house
That’s a pretty vague question my friend BUT most my units come from spacewalksales.com, ezinflatables.com and HEC-worldwide.com
What timers do you prefer?
I e gone back and forth from mechanical to photocell. I don’t have a preference really I just want it to work lol
@nick_o_glass you should do a little 3 min video on timers. There's not alot of videos/ info out there on them.
where do you source materials? manufacturers or is there an online source?
multiple suppliers are named in the video

opinion on novelty lights?
Like for other holidays beside Xmas? Love!
@@nick_o_glass i meant novelty lights as in the website lol. any opinion on them as a supplier?
@@landenkeller8218 oh! No opinion BUT use who I use www.christmaslightcontractorsusa.com/?ref=pi14paeo32
Is there a reason you use 15” spacing and not 6 or 12”?
Yep a few reasons! 1. It looks better. These lights are SO MUCH brighter than store bought lights that you don’t need as many, and when you do run the closer spacing it gets busy FAST. 2. It provides a better profit margin cause I’m using less bulbs and clips. We offer 12” if they want it, we charge more for it
@@nick_o_glass thanks
For my house I went with the 12" because it was very easy to calculate, and I hate math. So, if your roofline is 30 ft (30 bulbs) Far as 15" I would have to figure that out or maybe just round up. But if you want to go Griswold-like you could go with the 6" spacing, its just for that 30 ft , you would have to double up on bulbs. I'd think 18" or 24" spacing would look good too but they maybe more ideal for stake lighting.
Bruh - sum it up - just make it short and to the point
Nah. Long videos are my thing bro.
