Christmas Light Installation in Bridgehampton, NY

Christmas & Holiday Lighting in Bridgehampton

Ask anyone in Bridgehampton for directions and they'll point you to Bridgehampton's Main Street or the Hampton Classic showgrounds. Bridgehampton is the Hamptons' crossroads — a Main Street of restaurants and galleries, the Hampton Classic grounds, and estate lanes running south past Mecox Bay to the ocean. The homes run to shingle-style estates south of the highway toward the ocean off Ocean Road, 19th-century village homes on Main Street and Ocean Road, and newer homes on former farmland north of the highway, and that range is exactly why a one-size display doesn't work here.

Atlantic wind and salt spray are relentless from November through January, and any strand that isn't sealed and properly anchored will fail before Christmas. That's the weather half of the job. The Bridgehampton half: ocean-side and Mecox Bay homes take open wind; marine-grade hardware on exposed elevations. Marine-grade LEDs, coated clips, and attachment rated for storm wind go on every ocean-facing run — and we come back after the first nor'easter to check it.
