Dean Nida & Associates, formerly Nida Lighting, was established by Dean Nida as a full service holiday lighting company serving central Ohio in 1988. Initially, our clientele consisted of residential customers, whose homes we decorated for the holiday season. Gradually, our full service clientele has evolved into a commercial account base, including Children's Hospital, the hotels at Port Columbus and The Longaberger Company.

We have provided a combination of design, manufacturing and service to meet the goals of our customers. We also provide lighting for special events such as weddings, corporate events and restaurant exterior and interior lighting.

In 1991 we began selling commercial grade holiday displays. Over the years we have evolved into a company with clients in all 50 States and 10 foreign countries. Our product line includes not only holiday lighting and holiday displays for Christmas but also rope lighting, specialty lamps, landscape lighting and street pole banners.

Holiday Displays

Providing the most traditional of designs to the new and cutting edge displays never seen before, we offer personal assistance in helping you find the right display(s) to make the holiday special. We work very hard to help our customers find the right decorative fit for their organization or city.

All of our displays are made with the highest UL listed products. Lighting is offered in both incandescent and LED.

C6, C7, & C9 Bulbs

Both the C-6 and C-7 lamps are candelabra based.

The C-6 lamp is a 4 watt bulb and is ideal for small trees. They are great for lining display frames because they allow more spacing between the sockets when the sockets are laid horizontal to the frame. This is a special ordered lamp. Because the lamp is 4 watts the color is a double dipped treatment.

The C-7 lamp is a 7 watt  lamp. The C-7 bulb is ideal for evergreen tree lighting, roof lines, large displays or pole mount decorations. . The C-7 lamp is a long life 3,000 hour rated lamp with triple dipped color. Sockets are nickel plated to reduce corrosion.

The C-9 lamp is a 7 watt lamp as well. They use a candelabra base socket. Ideal for use on rooflines, large evergreen trees or large wreaths. They are rated for 3,000 hours, nickel plated bases and triple dipped paint to last the life of the bulb.

We sell all of these lamps in increments of 25 and you can mix up the colors as long as you order in 25 of each color. Discounts are available for case quantities of 1,000 lamps.

Pole Mount Banners

Pole mount decorations and street pole banners adorn the streets during the Christmas season. This “Christmas season”, however, seems to begin earlier each year. Christmas pole mount decorations and street pole banners seem to be hung earlier each year as well! Once the snow flies, it is a lovely idea to take a stroll around town under the pole mount decorations. Pole mount decorations seem to create such a festive Christmas mood during the holiday season. Walking early in the evening and enjoying the pole mount decorations before the Christmas season is over is a wonderful way to get some exercise.

Wedding Lighting

Wedding lighting is an important part of the decorating for any wedding ceremony and reception. When deciding upon your wedding lighting, you may find that the use of curtain lights in various areas is one way to make the job of creating a wedding lighting masterpiece an easy one.

LED Lighting

LED Christmas tree lights use up to 95% less electricity than regular holiday lights, and last up to ten times longer. LED stands for light-emitting diode. This modern-day technology is a much more environmentally friendly way to enjoy holiday lights during the Christmas season.

Mini-Lights

We offer mini-lights in a variety of lengths and bulb spacing. Our cords come in green white or brown. Clear mini-lights are still the choice of the majority of our customers but we offer mini-lights in solid colors and in special theme color combinations.

Rope Lighting

Rope lighting is not the first thing that pops into people’s heads when they think of Christmas. However, rope lighting is one tool that can be used to beautiful your home for the Christmas season. Dean Nida is now also offering new LED rope lighting.

LED Christmas string lights and LED rope lighting, when used to decorate your home over the holidays, quickly become a part of any family’s Christmas tradition.

Giant Trees!

Giant Artificial Christmas trees have become the “must have” for all major shopping malls and complexes. Because of the danger of live cut trees falling over and injuring someone, artificial trees have been a great alternative.
