Tips On How To Hook Up LED Lights  To Brighten  Your   Holiday Tree

The Christmas season is the best  time of year,  adorning  my home and the Christmas Tree. So how do you drape  LED  lights on a Christmas Tree? On we go to the fine art of draping  aGreensupply.com christmas lights on our Trees.... And yes, it can be  regarded as an art. And to some a fine art.

Make sure that before you begin, to have  all the supplies you  require on hand. This will eliminate not having a material  you need  while you are the on the ladder. So we will start with the ladder,  make certain you have  a secure  step ladder or small ladder  available. You will need this while you are draping  the upper branches, even with a small  tree, being on a ladder makes stringing your LED  lights much  more effortless.

You will of course need your lights, an extension cord if the socket is not  in close proximity or a step on off/on switch cord, makes lighting your tree  simpler, and some patience.

Would you be surprised to  find out that it is recommended  that you start  stringing  your Christmas Tree aGreensupply.com LED lights at the bottom? We had always begun at the top. Why? You can follow the electrical outlet with the cord  of LED lights and not have too much or too little left over  from stringing  from the top. Never looked at it that way before. You will also be able to begin with the correct  male/female connections, ever  drape LED lights and end up with two  female ends?

When adorning  your Christmas Tree, always  begin  with the lights. The lights are the primary   object  that should be put on  before garland or  trinkets. Before you start, check  that the lights are  functioning properly, nothing worse than  hanging up  the lights on the tree and half the strand is not working.

As you string your LED lights  employ  a weaving motion one light under  a branch and the next light over, under  and over. Insert the cord into the branches so the cord does not show.

Estimate your space as you work your lights into the branches,  overlap and  spread out your rows so that there are no  unadorned  spots or clumps of lights together. Be especially careful not to bundle the lights together at the top  of the tree. The crown  of the tree should be the  special place for your topper.

If you decide you need more  lights on your Christmas Tree, use  extra strands and repeat the process  of weaving from the top of the tree to the bottom.

Not certain  how many lights you  require, a quick rule of thumb is to take  the height of your tree and  multiply by 10. For example, a six-foot tree would require  about  60 feet... I know I go way overboard  on the  number  of lights on my tree  but just can't help it.

Now that you have finished stringing and are  pleased  with the lights on your Christmas Tree, it is time to  embellish  your tree with ornaments, garland and whatever tickles your  imagination....
