WE WILL SHOW YOU >>> IN THE DARKNESS OF THE PANDEMIC IT'S TIME TO DAZZLE WITH HOLIDAY LIGHTS. MANY PEOPLE ARE GOING ALL OUT INCLUDING 5 ON ARE SIDE'S MONICA LALIBERTE AND COMING TO MY HOUSE TO SET IT ALL UP. >> LIKE I ALWAYS DO. I CONSIDER THIS ALL OUT, RIGHT? CLASSIC LOOK. RELATIVELY EASY IF THE LIGHTS WORK WHEN YOU PLUG THEM IN. BUT PEOPLE LIKE TO DIM AND DAZZLE. A SMART PLUG COULD BE THE KEY TO HOLIDAY LIGHTS. WHO DOESN'T LOVE AT LEAST SOME LEVEL OF HOLIDAY LIGHTS? MAYBE YOUR GOAL IS TO BE LIKE CLARK GRISWALD. JEFFREY STAPLES DOESN'T GO THAT FAR BUT HE IS A SELF-DESCRIBED THEATER TEAKY THAT LOVES A GOOD HOME HOLIDAY LIGHT SHOW. >> I WANTED TO PUT ON A LIGHT SHOW, SYNCHRONIZED TO MUSIC IN THE THEATER. I DIDN'T HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY TO DO IT. >> Reporter: AFTER YEARS OF TINKERING HE HAS A SIDE HUSTLE WITH HUNDREDS OF FOLLOWERS. YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE JEFFREY'S TECH SKILLS TO MAKE LIGHT MAGIC AT YOUR HOUSE. >> THE SIMPLEST WAY TO CONTROL THEM IS WITH A SMART PLUG. THEY ARE AFFORDABLE. YOU CAN TURN THEM OFF AND OFF WITH THE LOCAL SUNRISE AND SUNSET TIMES. THEY COST BETWEEN 15 TO $65. YOU WANT ONE THAT IS WI-FI CAPABLE. PLUG IT INTO A WALL OUTLET, PLUG YOUR LIGHTS IN THE DEVICE AND CONTROL THEM FROM YOUR SMARTPHONE. WANT TO TAKE IT A STEP FURTHER? SEVERAL MATTER LIGHT KITS CAN CHANGE COLORS, CREATE FESTIVE PARENTS AND EVEN LET YOU SET YOUR LIGHTS TO MUSIC. THEY DO REQUIRE SOME TECH SKILLS AND COST MORE THAN REGULAR LIGHTS. ABOUT 60 TO $200. >> THEY ARE A LOT OF FUN. THEY PROVIDE THAT WIMSY THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE COULD USE. >> Reporter: THIS WAS THE EASIEST OF THE BUNCH TO SET UP. THESE ARE EASIER AND MORE EFFECTIVE THAN WHAT THE GRISWALDS WENT THROUGH. >> Reporter: THAT MOVIE MAKES HELP LAUGH UNTIL I CRY EVERY TIME I SEE IT. BACK TO THE SMART PLUG. SO, YOU CAN USE ANY MODEL FOR INSIDE. IF YOU USE IT OUTSIDE, GET ONE THAT IS RATED FOR OUTSIDE USE. THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT. KNOW THAT YOU WILL LIKELY NEED TO BUY IT ONLINE. BACK TO YOU. >> MONICA, QUICKLY, A QUESTION IF WE GO ALL OUT LIKE THAT, CLARK'S BROTHER-IN-LAW EDDIE WON'T SHOW UP, WILL HE? IN THE RV? PROMISE ME. >> Reporter: LET'S HOPE THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN.
