Holly Easton
Outdoor Lighting Editor — Outdoor, Smart, Solar & Battery Lights
9 years experience · Spends her days in owner-review threads and spec sheets for outdoor string lights, permanent lighting systems, smart and solar setups.
Holly spent nine years around outdoor lighting and low-voltage electrical retail before moving to consumer research full time. She runs the outdoor and smart/solar side of Merry Lights Guide, cross-checking weatherproof ratings, bulb life, app-control reliability and installation ease against verified owner ratings, contractor forums and expert write-ups — never buying or installing the products herself. Her rule: if the homeowners who've actually run a string of lights through a full winter season don't rate it highly, it doesn't make the list.
