What is Pioneer Day?
On July 24th, Utahns commemorate the arrival of the Mormon pioneers to the Salt Lake Valley in 1847. It’s a state holiday of remembrance and pride celebrated through parades, fireworks, rodeos, family cookouts, and more.
But the deeper meaning lies in the historical significance of the journey and pioneering spirit.
Lighting up your home for Pioneer Day is more than festive decor. It’s a visual tribute and a way to connect with history, your neighborhood, and your loved ones.

The best part? You can schedule your lights to come on automatically, so the party starts and ends exactly when you want it to.
Smart Lighting - for the Past, Present, and Future
The pioneers were forward thinking, and so are today’s homeowners.
Permanent lighting uses a low-voltage LED technology. This means:
- Energy Efficiency: On average there is a 60-70% improvement on energy savings, making them 4-5 times more effective than traditional light bulbs.
- Long-Lasting: While incandescent bulbs can last about 1,000 hours, LED lights can shine for 50,000+ hours. This means they’re designed to last for decades.
- Safer and Sturdier: LEDs run cooler, reducing fire risks. Plus, the light lenses are more resistant and built to withstand Utah’s changing seasons.
A modern solution that honors the spirit of tradition while making life easier.
