Your Year-Round Haven Lighting Calendar: 10 Scenes Every Middle Tennessee Home Needs

Most people think permanent lighting is just a better version of Christmas lights. Turn them on in November, take them down in January, done.

That’s selling the system short by about eleven months.

Haven Lighting’s 9 Series Pro and X Series give you 32 colors, full app control, and a scheduling calendar that runs your entire year on autopilot. One setup. No ladders. No seasonal crews. Just open the app, pick a scene, and your home does the rest.

Here are ten scenes every Middle Tennessee homeowner should have saved and ready to go — plus the dates that matter around here.

1. Titans Game Day (September – January)

Navy and light blue on the roofline. Maybe a white accent on the landscape lights. If you’re feeling bold, run a slow fade between the two.

The Haven app’s scheduling feature means you can set this to kick in every Sunday at noon during football season and revert to your default scene at midnight. No touching your phone on game day.

For the record, the Titans moved to their new stadium in 2026. Your house should look like it got the memo.

2. Vols Orange (Fall Saturdays)

If you went to UT — and in this part of Tennessee, odds are decent — you already know. Solid orange on Saturdays during football season. Rocky Top from the speakers is optional but encouraged.

Set it to alternate with Titans colors throughout the weekend: orange Saturday, navy Sunday.

3. Predators Gold (October – June)

Nashville is a hockey town now, whether people expected that or not. Gold and navy for Preds home games during playoff runs. The Haven app lets you schedule specific dates, so you can load the home game schedule at the start of the season and forget about it.

4. Halloween (October)

Orange and purple is the classic. But Haven’s 9 Series Pro gives you access to the Effects Store — free downloadable light shows that include flickering, chasing, and haunted-house-style patterns. Your roofline can look like it belongs in a horror movie without a single extension cord.

Start October 1. Your neighbors will notice.

5. Thanksgiving Harvest (November)

Warm amber and soft white. Think candlelight, not spotlight. This is the scene that makes your house look like a magazine cover when family pulls into the driveway.

A lot of homeowners skip this one and jump straight to Christmas. Don’t. Thanksgiving lighting done right sets a tone that pure red-and-green can’t match.

6. Christmas and Holiday Season (Late November – January)

This is what most people buy permanent lighting for — and Haven delivers. Classic red and green. Cool white and warm white. Candy cane alternating patterns. Icicle effects. Whatever your family’s tradition is, build a scene for it and save it.

The scheduling calendar handles the switch from Thanksgiving to Christmas automatically. Set it once in your first year, and it runs every year after that.

MTCL installs hundreds of temporary holiday lighting jobs every season. We know what looks good on Middle Tennessee homes. Permanent lighting gives you that same result without the annual install and takedown cycle — and you control it from your couch.

7. New Year’s Eve (December 31)

White and gold. Clean, celebratory, classy. Run a countdown effect from the Haven Effects Store if you want to get fancy. Reset to your winter default on January 2.

8. Valentine’s Day (February 14)

Red and pink. Simple and effective. Your spouse will notice. Trust me on this one.

This is a one-day scene — schedule it to run February 13–15 and revert automatically. Two taps in the app.

9. Fourth of July (July 4)

Red, white, and blue with a chase pattern. This is the scene where Haven’s synchronized transformer technology really shows off — every light on your property runs in perfect sync without any wires connecting the transformers to each other.

In Middle Tennessee, the Fourth is an all-day event. Set the lights to start at dusk and run until midnight. Your house becomes the backdrop for the neighborhood cookout.

10. Everyday Elegance (The Other 300 Days)

Here’s the one people forget. Most of the year, your house doesn’t need to make a statement. It just needs to look good.

Warm white on the roofline. Soft white on the landscape. Maybe a slight amber accent on the walkway. This is the scene that runs when nothing else is scheduled — and honestly, it might be the most important one.

Haven’s automation handles landscape lighting schedules year-round. The system adjusts for sunrise and sunset automatically, so your lights turn on and off at the right time whether it’s June or December. No seasonal adjustments needed.

How the Haven Calendar Actually Works

The Haven app’s scheduling feature is what ties all of this together. Here’s the short version:

You build a scene — pick colors for each zone, set brightness and effects. Save it. Then drop it on the calendar for the dates you want it active. The app handles the transitions. When one scene ends, the next one starts. No manual switching required.

For homeowners who want to set it and forget it, you can build your entire year in one sitting. Football season, holidays, everyday default — all scheduled in advance. Haven’s smart transformers sync across your whole property automatically, even if they’re on different Wi-Fi networks.

The firmware updates itself over the air. When Haven adds new features or effects, your system gets them automatically. The system you install today keeps getting better without replacing hardware.
