Hanging your own lights in a Paducah December is a cold, wet, slightly dangerous way to lose a weekend.
You drag the tangled box out of the garage. Half the strand is dead. Now you're up a ladder on rain-slick eaves in forty-degree damp, fingers numb, with the light gone by half past four.
Hours later, it's… fine. A little crooked over the garage. And after the first ice storm pulls a run loose, you get to climb back up and do it again.
There's a better way — and 1,000+ homeowners have already found it.
Imagine doing absolutely nothing — and having the best lights on the street.
Whether you're in the Lower Town arts district, on Fountain Avenue, out at Lone Oak or Reidland, or in one of the newer builds toward Hendron — you never see a ladder. A designer maps your property, our local crew installs a flawless custom display, we keep it right all season, and we quietly take it down when the holidays end.

Paducah is one of a very small number of cities in the world designated for craft and folk art.
UNESCO named Paducah a Creative City of Crafts and Folk Art in 2013 — a list most Americans have never heard of and very few American cities are on. The Lower Town artist relocation programme is why.
It shows everywhere: the National Quilt Museum downtown, the floodwall murals along the Ohio, and a Fountain Avenue district full of restored houses that people took on precisely because they were difficult.
In a city where people restore houses by hand, a sloppy line of lights over the porch is genuinely noticeable.
We light every street in Paducah.
We're not a national chain parachuting in with a truck of generic strands. BrightWrx Western Kentucky is led by Brian Richardson, a Hopkinsville native who has called Cadiz home since 1989:
Built for a Paducah winter.
Sitting at the confluence of the Ohio and the Tennessee, Paducah gets river damp on top of close to fifty inches of rain a year — and it sits squarely in the band where winter storms arrive as freezing rain. That is the worst combination there is for outdoor lighting.
- Winter rain & constant damp: sealed, weather-rated connections instead of the open sockets that corrode by December
- Ice storms & freezing rain: clips and hardware rated to hold a load when a system ices over, not just to look neat in November
- Humidity, year-round: commercial-grade housings built for air that never really dries out, which is what shorts cheap strands
- Severe storm wind: low-profile, properly anchored installs that stay put when a front comes through
Not a franchise. Not a truck full of generic strands.
We make our own lights
Commercial-grade fixtures BrightWrx manufactures itself — built to outshine and outlast anything from the store, and backed by a Lifetime Guarantee on materials.
LED from the beginning
BrightWrx helped pioneer LED-only holiday lighting in the United States back in 2006, when most installers were still hanging incandescents. That head start is why these systems last.
Historic homes, handled properly
Fountain Avenue and Lower Town are full of restored houses with original trim. We use damage-free attachment, never staples, and design to the architecture.
Locally led, not parachuted in
Brian Richardson is a Hopkinsville native who has called Cadiz home since 1989. He started with one man and a truck in 1994 and built a group of service businesses out of this county.

How much does holiday lighting installation cost in Paducah, KY?
Every property is different — a Fountain Avenue restoration, a Lone Oak ranch and a Reidland two-storey all need different designs. We give you a clear quote up front with no surprises and no hidden fees. Start with the form, call (270) 350-9148, or design your home in Light Designer in about 60 seconds.
Can you work on a historic home without damaging it?
Yes — it's a large part of what we do in Paducah. We use damage-free attachment on original trim and eaves, never staples, and we leave the property clean at takedown.
Do you offer permanent lighting in Paducah?
Yes. Permanent architectural lighting is a low-profile, app-controlled system installed into your roofline — invisible by day, any color by night. One install covers Christmas, the Fourth, game nights, and everyday curb appeal.
What if a light goes out mid-season?
It's our problem, not yours. Contact the team and we'll get it put right — season-long service is part of the full-service experience, not an add-on.
Do you take the lights down too?
Yes — takedown is included. When the season ends we remove everything, leave your property clean, and store your materials for next year.
What's the guarantee, exactly?
If you're not happy, your lights are free. We're licensed, bonded and insured, and BrightWrx has been doing this since 2006.
