Christmas lights are a festive reminder of the holiday season. They come in a variety of forms, including icicle lights, twinkling lights, projectors, strands of lights, and many more. There are also LED lights, which are energy-saving alternatives to traditional light sets.
Xmas lights, as the name implies, are electric lights used to decorate houses and commercial buildings during the holiday season. Some of the most common types of Christmas lights include:
Twinkling lights are ideal for creating a cosy ambience during the dark winter nights. A typical set of twinkling lights is made up of three or four strings. It's advisable to choose a string with a lead cable length of at least six metres.
You can also opt for a light-up bauble that will add extra sparkle to your tree. However, some people leave their lights up all year round.
If you have a big deciduous tree, you may wish to consider trunk lights. These are designed to illuminate eaves or other parts of the tree that are hard to reach.
The most popular types of lights are battery operated or plug in. When choosing a battery powered set, make sure that it's rated for outdoor use. Make sure that you get a plug that has an on/off switch.
Another option is to install lights on your tree using a generator. This can be a costly proposition, though. CPSC estimates that hundreds of trees are destroyed each year due to fires.
