Opting for the most desirable christmas lights

1. Opting for the most desirable Christmas Lights
Isn’t Christmas a awesome time? All the great food, getting to spend quality time with friends and
family, and opening presents.
Christmas lights are a big portion of the holiday atmosphere, and the new LED Christmas lights have
shown themselves to be far superior to the old-style incandescent bulbs.
LEDs are great for coloured lights, since they don’t require coloured filters the way fluorescent or
incandescent bulbs do. This, in combination with their tiny size and low heat output, makes LEDs terrific
for Christmas lighting.
LED lights are seven-to-ten times more energy-efficient than incandescent lights and last approximately
ten times as long. LEDs are also far safer than incandescent bulbs, which give off close to twenty-five
times as much heat as LEDs do and are far more likely to break than LEDs. Replacing your old
incandescent light strings with LEDs is a wonderful investment.
You have a wide range of Christmas low energy lighting to get from. Here are some of the most popular
types:
Mini Christmas Lights
These have little bulbs in the shape of a candle, but have a pointed tip. These are becoming quite sought
after and can be bought in incandescent or LED. You can get clear, white, green or brown bulbs, and
commonly other colours.
The strings usually contain fifty or a hundred lights, but you might be able to find a string of up to three
hundred. You can program some strings, setting them to flash or twinkle. But with most mini-light
strings, the whole string will go dark if one bulb fails.
Icicle Lights
These are similar in appearance and size to regular mini- energy saving light bulbs, but they’re intended
for the outdoors. They look amazing whether they’re mounted in trees or used for lining your house or
deck. They’re frequently available in clear, blue, green or white. They also come in multi-colour
combinations, such as red, green, pink, blue and yellow. You can buy them in incandescent or LED.

2. Rope Lights
These are outdoor LED lights for homes that are installed inside a vinyl pipe that protects the lights. This
“rope” of lights is easy to hang and store. The individual lights can’t be changed, but they last quite a
while because they are LEDs. These can be obtained in a assortment of special effects and colours.
C7 or C9 Lights
These have been the standard light strings for decades in the U.S., and comparable strings are available
in the U.K. The number pertains to the diameter of the bulb at its widest point: the C7 bulbs are 7/8
inches (about 3.5 cm) in diameter and the C9 bulbs, 9/8 inches (4 cm). C7 bulbs are typically two inches
(8 cm) long, including the base, and the C9s three inches (12 cm). The “C” stands for candle, though
these are more rounded than candle-style mini-lights.
One great feature of these lights is that if one bulb fails, the others will stay lit. And any bulbs that go
bad can easily be replaced. The incandescent models can get really hot and draw a lot of electricity, but
the LED varieties are cool to the touch and energy-efficient. They come in various lengths, and can have
up to a hundred-and-fifty light sockets. You can obtain them in twinkle style, and they’re also available
in different colours.
