LED Christmas Light Miracle - Tips On How To Put On The Lights For The Best Effect!5363907

Lights on a tree can signify so many great things about the holiday season. The sight of a family sitting around a Christmas tree, the sole light in the room, while listening to the Nutcracker Suite and tasting hot chocolate. It looks like a fairy tale, but that's what the season is about; indulging our winter fantasies through festive decor and customs.

Many people choose clear or white lamps because they go with any color scheme or tree theme. Colorful lights definitely give a festive look and single colored lights like red or blue as well go well with certain themes. LED Christmas lights ought to be the first thing mounted on a tree. Before you begin to decorate, pull the tree away from the wall or pieces of furniture so you can walk freely around it without obstruction.

How many LED Christmas lights  do I need?

A fine estimate of how many LED Christmas lights you'll need is to make use of the measurement of 100 lights for each foot of the tree. Therefore for a 7ft tree, you'll want no less than 700 lights. 100 strand light sets give good result for most people. Be sure you plan to pick up an extra set of lights in case of shortage or burnout - you would not like to find yourself starting your tree trimming and have to suspend it to run to the store for more lights!

Using the LED Christmas lights

Certainly, test the lights before beginning. Plug in each strand to make certain every thing is a go and keep them plugged in as you decorate. It's simpler to string and place them the correct way when they're lit. One of the best ways to accomplish that "lit from inside" tree is to wrap lights around picked out branches. Start by purchasing a light controller - a multi-socket extension cord. You will buy these at any home improvement or hardware store. These holiday hookups let you plug multiple strands of lights to one cord and manage them through one switch. They commonly make them in green but they're also available in white for white artificial trees. Connect the cord up and down the trunk of the tree with cord or pipe cleaner. IMPORTANT: Be sure to read the light manufacturer's instructions on strand plug on limits.

Grab a string of lights and start at the top of the Christmas tree. Plug the strand into the outlet close to the top. Starting at the base of a branch, wrap the cord around the branch. Continue until you reach the tip, then wrap back to the the base. You don't have to wrap it super tight, just enough to give the branch a sufficient glow without obstructing or crushing the individual branches, and at the same time, hiding the wires well. As you work back toward the base, you can wrap around a few individual branches tip. When you hit the base start a new branch. You don't need to wrap every single branch either (this would take a whole lot of lights and probably make the tree look as if it was on fire rather than beautifully lit!). Just ensure you are consistent with your spacing from top to bottom. Take a step back and take a look at the tree to see where there may be gaps. It's even less difficult to string with an artificial tree, as you can string as you gather together and position the branches. Using this method will give your tree dimension and depth and make it seem like it's lit from within!

Take pleasure in your lit tree. Memories are only a light strand away...
