Displays here switch on around sunset. In Taunton that means about 4:14 PM in early December and 4:14 PM by mid-month — the earliest sunsets of the year fall right in the middle of lights season. It is properly dark by about 4:46 PM, which is when the displays look their best. December nights in Taunton typically drop to around 24°F.
