The Unique Charm of Bannockburn
Bannockburn incorporated in 1929 and still holds only about 1,013 residents across 2.05 square miles, which makes it one of the smallest places we work and one of the least dense. The village began with a one acre minimum on home lots and later raised it to two, and that single rule explains most of what a lighting plan has to solve here. The Tri State Tollway was cut through the western edge in the 1950s and the Route 22 commercial zone was established in 1984. Trinity International University and its divinity school occupy the main campus, Stericycle keeps offices here, and Frank Lloyd Wright's Friedman house sits among the wooded lots. Lake Forest is north, Deerfield south, Highland Park and Highwood east.
Our Services in Bannockburn
From magical Christmas displays to permanent architectural lighting, we have professional solutions for every property and every season.
Residential Holiday Lighting
Two acre minimums put most houses well back behind mature trees, so the first design question is what survives the distance. C9 bulbs on wide spacing hold a line at 150 feet where mini lights simply vanish, and a roofline half hidden by oaks needs the unobstructed runs emphasized rather than an even wash across everything. Every residential package is all inclusive: custom design, install, mid season maintenance, takedown and storage.
Commercial Holiday Lighting
Bannockburn's commercial frontage is concentrated in the Route 22 zone and around the Trinity campus. Buildings there are seen at speed from Route 22 or across a parking field, so a defined roof edge and a lit entry do more than detail work nobody is close enough to read.
Permanent roofline lighting in Bannockburn
At Bannockburn setbacks the house is seen from far away, so a permanent system is planned the way our seasonal work is: light the rooflines that survive the distance through the oaks and leave the hidden ones alone. The track stays up all year and runs warm white, or any color from your phone, so the house reads from Route 22 and up the drive every night, not only in December. Permanent systems start around $3,000 for a typical roofline. If you would rather keep it seasonal, color changing RGBW C9 lights start around $1,400 and cover Halloween through Christmas from one October install.
A thousand residents, and no Metra platform
Bannockburn has no train station. Nobody walks home past your house from a platform, which means the audience for residential lighting is drivers on Waukegan Road, Half Day Road and Route 22, and guests arriving up a private drive. We design for those two viewing positions specifically: a strong continuous roof line that reads from the road at speed, and closer detail at the entry and the drive where people actually arrive. Spending the budget evenly across both is the most common way an estate install underperforms.
What a Bannockburn install costs
Seasonal lighting for an average house starts at $799 and up, depending on the complexity, height and access of the job. Bannockburn sits above that starting number almost always, because two acre zoning produces wide houses on long frontages and the setback forces larger bulbs on longer runs. Wooded lots add access time as well as footage, since a ladder cannot always go where the roofline needs it. We quote the whole job after we walk the roofline, never off a rate card or a square footage table.

Hanging Lights Club did an absolutely great job installing our new permanent lights. We had previously used them for our Christmas lights.After such a great experience, we decided to switch with permanent lighting. They are honest, professional and thorough with their work. It’s rare these days to find a company that you could trust and they exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend them!

They did an excellent job!! Very professional installing lights on my roof, carefully putting each lights on my gutter. The wirings are neat and clean I don’t see any cluttered wirings, I liked the combinations of the lights the warm and red lights. Very precised on where they cut the connections, convenient to me with the timer it wil go on and off on my desired time. I would highly recommend them to my friends, neighbors, and family specially in this holiday season.

They did a spectacular job installing our Christmas lights last year. I noticed that they were very detailed and careful when installing each light which resulted into having no issues at all after the installation. So thankful for them for making our place look so festive. Thank you and can’t wait to book your services again this year!
