Ben Kannenberg
I've spent the past eight years in the Christmas lighting industry, helping create custom holiday displays that turn ordinary spaces into memorable experiences.
Christmas has been my favorite time of year for as long as I can remember, so being able to turn that passion into my profession has been incredibly rewarding. I'm proud to help create the kind of holiday atmosphere that brings people together and leaves a lasting impression.
My experience spans client relationships, project management for large scale commercial Christmas, design coordination, sourcing, logistics, and installation planning. Over time, I've learned that a great holiday display is about much more than lights, it's about creating a place people remember.

I've spent 18 years in the landscape industry and built two companies from the ground up. Before that I spent a decade as a general manager in manufacturing, with earlier experience in accounting and IT. That's the operational side of this business: scheduling, sourcing, and the discipline to keep a crew on schedule through the busiest six weeks of the year.
I'm a father of six and a grandfather, and I bring the same hands on approach to everything I build.

I've lived in the DFW area my entire life, and Christmas lighting and event decorating have been part of it for as long as I can remember. Growing up around family businesses in the industry gave me firsthand experience creating displays that people look forward to year after year.
As a business owner I've built and grown service businesses across DFW, including professional Christmas lighting through Lone Star. As that side of the business grew, we saw an opportunity to create a company dedicated entirely to holiday work. That became Main Street Christmas Lights.
I'm married to my wife Kyley and we have two children, which has given me a greater appreciation for the traditions this work is really about. For me it comes down to more than lights: it's the design, the installation and the service that turn a property into somewhere people gather and take pictures year after year.
The name
Why Main Street
The picture in the name is a specific one: a historic downtown in December, the storefront windows lit, garland on the lamppost, a red bow on the bracket. Not a light show. Not an inflatable. A street that looks like it has been doing this for a hundred years.
That is the standard we design to, whether the property is a nineteenth century block downtown or a development that opened last year. Classic reads as permanent, and permanent reads as trustworthy, which is exactly what a commercial property wants its December to say.
It also sets a limit we hold to. There is a version of this industry built on novelty: bigger, brighter, more animated every year. We are not in that business. The properties we work with are trying to look established, not loud.
Tradition Shines Here.
The philosophy
Designed, not decorated
Decorating is putting lights on a building. Design is deciding which lines the building already has and lighting those.
In practice that means we walk the property before we quote anything, because the elevations that matter at night are not always the ones that matter at noon. A roofline that reads beautifully from the road may be invisible from the entrance where people actually arrive.
It also means we say no to things. A property does not need every surface lit. Restraint is what separates a scheme that looks designed from one that looks like a budget was spent.
The result should read as though the building was always meant to look like this in December, and that nobody had to work very hard to achieve it. That takes considerably more planning than the alternative.
The team behind it
Not a seasonal startup
The hardest question a new lighting brand has to answer is whether it will still exist in February. Seasonal companies appear in September and disappear in January, which is why property managers ask about insurance, service response and storage before they ask about design.
Main Street Christmas Lights is a new brand, but the company behind it is not new. The crews, equipment, scheduling systems and safety training come from Lone Star Irrigation, an established outdoor services company working the same metroplex year round.
What that means practically: the crews on your roof in November are the same people who work these properties the rest of the year. The scheduling that gets a truck to you in December is the scheduling that already runs a full service calendar. The warehouse storing your display in February is a warehouse that was already there.
We started this brand because commercial Christmas lighting in DFW was being sold by companies that vanish, and because the infrastructure to do it properly was already sitting in our yard.
How we work
Safety, insurance and method
Work at height
Crews are safety trained for elevated work and follow a fall protection protocol on every roof and lift job.
Insurance
The company carries commercial general liability insurance. We provide a current certificate for your property file before work is scheduled.
No-puncture mounting
Nothing is nailed, screwed or stapled into the building envelope. Clips are matched to the roof and gutter profile.
In-season response
Service through December is part of the agreement, not an add-on. A dark section is our problem to fix.
Who we serve
Commercial and municipal only
There is no residential side to this business. Our materials, crews and scheduling are built for properties that stay open.

Let's walk your property
