1. Test Lights Before Hanging
Plug in all your lights before hanging them to check for any burned-out bulbs or frayed wires. This saves time and frustration, as you can replace faulty bulbs or strands right away.
2. Use Outdoor-Safe, LED Lights
LED lights are energy-efficient, stay cool to the touch, and have a longer lifespan than traditional bulbs. Ensure that all lights and extension cords are labeled for outdoor use to avoid safety hazards.
3. Plan and Measure
Before starting, sketch out your desired layout and measure the areas you plan to decorate. This helps you know exactly how many strands you’ll need and can save you extra trips to the store.
4. Use Light Clips, Not Nails or Staples
Plastic light clips are easy to install and won’t damage your roof, gutters, or siding. These clips also make it easier to take down the lights without leaving holes or marks.
5. Layer for Depth and Dimension
Combine different types of lights (mini, icicle, or globe) or colors to add depth. Wrapping trees and bushes or layering different colors can create a vibrant, textured display that stands out.
