Welcome to Candy Cane Lane! That’s how neighbors refer to the home of Eastland, TX’s own Jackson Lighting Crew. Outfitted by all eight members of Daniel and Ashley Jackson’s family — including Zaiden, Landon, Ella, Madelyn, Ian and Taryn — the crew installs holiday-style lights for homes and businesses all over their community.

Daniel Jackson owns Bryans Signs & High Impact Graphics (Eastland, TX) so the Lighting Crew is a part-time labor of love. Check out just some of the ways Daniel, Ashley and the “kiddos” spread fun and excitement all over town.

Of course, the Jackson family decorates their own home. “There were over one million light bulbs on this house and counting,” Daniel says of this photo from last year.

A crew needs a truck and trailer and both of those need nifty wraps. Daniel and fellow installer Ricky Rodriguez wrapped the self-designed job in a day.

Mr. Twinkle, logo-mascot for The Jackson Lighting Crew, is no “little star.” Everywhere he goes, Daniel says, “when the kids see this truck, they are just all about him.”

You better believe The Jackson Lighting Crew truck and trailer light up at night! The truck features color-changing lights in the undercarriage.

One of the crew’s client homes. All that wrapping experience makes them pretty good at wrapping trees — with lights.

Displays are not beyond the range of The Jackson Lighting Crew, as this customer’s home demonstrates.

At first, Daniel placed signs on his clients’ properties, like many other services trying to get their name out there. More recently, excellent word of mouth and a Facebook page have eliminated the need for the signs. And that’s a sign company behind that decision!

The children of the crew do many behind-the-scenes jobs, such as getting rolls of lights and screwing the bulbs in, helping to load the trailer and more. I like how one is supervising from the truck.

Here’s one more house decorated by The Jackson Lighting Crew. Look closely and you’ll see two pumpkins, which tells you how early many of these lights go up.

The crew works more than residential homes. Check the corner accent lighting for the local Majestic Theatre. “We also do wedding/backyard lighting,” Daniel says. “Anything you can put lights on.”

Let’s not forget it was a Prints and Wraps column that inspired this gallery, so here’s one more night shot of the truck.
