About Larger Than Lights
Larger Than Lights is a Denver-area Christmas lighting company built around craftsmanship, communication, and personal accountability. Founded in 2021, the business was created to move away from impersonal, volume-driven holiday lighting and toward a more thoughtful, relationship-based approach. Every installation is planned as a custom project, shaped by the home, the property, and how families experience the season.
The company is owned and operated by Andrew Tycksen, a full-time firefighter who started Larger Than Lights as a way to build a meaningful seasonal business rooted in family and community. The company remains family-run, with Andrew directly involved in planning and oversight and his wife supporting operations and decorative details. This close structure keeps communication simple and ensures homeowners always know who is responsible for their project.
Crew quality is a defining part of how Larger Than Lights operates. Installations are handled by a trusted local team that includes firefighters and experienced crew leads, including Andrew’s father. That background brings a strong focus on safety, preparation, and attention to detail. Rather than rushing through installs, the team prioritizes clean lines, secure attachment methods, and systems designed to perform reliably throughout the season.
From a design standpoint, Larger Than Lights specializes in fully customizable LED Christmas lighting, with a particular focus on trees and larger-scale features. The company uses larger C9 bulbs for greater visual impact and offers custom-decorated wreaths with hand-installed ornaments for improved daytime appearance. Residential and municipal projects are approached with the same level of care, reinforcing a brand built on trust, consistency, and creating holiday experiences that feel intentional and lasting.

Serving the Denver Area With Thoughtfully Planned Christmas Lights
Larger Than Lights was built to serve homeowners across the Denver area who want more than a one-size seasonal setup. Our work is grounded in careful planning, consistent execution, and an understanding that every home and neighborhood has its own character. While the company operates from the Denver metro area, much of what defines our approach comes from hands-on experience working in nearby communities with different home styles, property layouts, and winter conditions.
Each service area brings its own considerations. Homes in Westminster often feature complex rooflines and mature trees that require precision and scale. In Arvada, walkable neighborhoods and established landscaping call for balanced designs that look intentional up close. Properties in Lakewood frequently sit on sloped lots or feature elevation changes, making sightlines and secure installation especially important. Newer homes and taller rooflines are common in Broomfield, while wide roof spans and open front elevations shape many projects in Thornton.
Rather than treating these areas the same, our Christmas light installation process adapts to the specific demands of each location. That includes planning for visibility, selecting appropriate bulb size and spacing, and installing systems designed to perform reliably through snow, wind, and long winter nights. Trees, rooflines, entryways, and decorative elements are all considered as part of a cohesive layout, not isolated features.

Make Your Home The Talk Of The Neighborhood
A Different Approach Than DIY or General Lighting Services
Many homeowners start by considering do-it-yourself Christmas lighting or hiring a general service provider, but those options often come with tradeoffs that aren’t obvious at first. Holiday lighting introduces seasonal challenges such as ladder safety, winter weather exposure, temporary electrical load, and the need for consistent performance over several weeks. Larger Than Lights was built specifically around those challenges, offering a purpose-driven approach that prioritizes planning, reliability, and clear communication rather than treating lighting as a one-day task or an add-on service.

Customer feedback has played a major role in shaping how Larger Than Lights operates.

Common Questions About Christmas Light Installation
When is the best time to schedule Christmas light installation in Denver?
Most homeowners schedule Christmas light installation between early November and early December. Booking earlier allows flexibility around weather and ensures displays are ready for seasonal events, family gatherings, and neighborhood celebrations.
Why do homeowners hire professionals instead of installing Christmas lights themselves?
Professional installation reduces ladder-related safety risks and accounts for electrical load, weather exposure, and full-season performance. Many homeowners also prefer a planned design that looks consistent rather than adjusting lights repeatedly throughout the season.
Are professional Christmas lights safe to use in snow and cold temperatures?
Yes, when installed properly. Professional systems use outdoor-rated LED lighting, secure attachment methods, and protected electrical connections designed to perform reliably in snow, wind, and freezing temperatures.
How long does a typical Christmas light installation take?
Most residential installations are completed in a single visit, though larger homes, extensive tree lighting, or custom décor can require additional time for planning and execution.
What makes tree lighting more difficult than roofline lighting?
Tree lighting involves vertical or spiral wrap patterns, precise spacing, and bulb sizing to avoid uneven brightness. Large or complex trees require experience to achieve a full, balanced look without gaps or sagging.
Will Christmas lights damage my roof, gutters, or landscaping?
When done correctly, Christmas lights are attached using specialized clips rather than nails or screws. This protects roofing materials, gutters, and exterior finishes while keeping lines clean and secure.
How long can Christmas lights stay up after the season ends?
Christmas lights are typically removed in January. Seasonal lighting is designed as a temporary installation, and removing it after the holidays helps preserve both the lighting system and the home.
