When to go
Displays here switch on around sunset. In Hiram that means about 5:30 PM in early December and 5:32 PM by mid-month — the earliest sunsets of the year fall right in the middle of lights season. It is properly dark by about 5:59 PM, which is when the displays look their best. December nights in Hiram typically drop to around 32°F.

Practicalities
Residential displays have no facilities of their own — no parking, no toilets, nowhere to warm up — so it is worth knowing what is around. Within about three miles of the Hiram cluster, OpenStreetMap maps 2 public car parks and 1 public toilet. Only 7 cafés or takeaways nearby, so bring a flask if you want one.
