LED Christmas Light Wonder - The Way To String Them For Maximum Wow!8685312

Lights on a tree can suggest so many fantastic things about the holiday period. The sight of a family sitting around a Christmas tree, the only light in the room, while playing to the Nutcracker Suite and having hot chocolate. It seems like a fairy tale, but that's what the time of year is about; indulging our winter dreams through festive decor and traditions.

Most people choose clear or white lights because they go with any color scheme or tree theme. Multicolored lights definitely give a festive look and individual colored lights like red or blue as well go well with certain styles. LED Christmas lights must 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 entirely around it without blockage.

How many LED Christmas lights  do I need?

A good figure of how many LED Christmas lights you'll need is to apply the measurement of 100 lights for every foot of the tree. Hence for a 7ft tree, you'll want no less than 700 lights. 100 strand light sets give good result for most people. Always plan to pick up another set of lights in case of lack or burnout - you would hate to find yourself beginning your tree trimming and have to suspend it to run to the shop for more lights!

Putting up the LED Christmas lights

Obviously, test the lights before you start. 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 correctly when they're lit. One of the best ways to realize that "lit from inside" tree is to wrap lights around picked out branches. Start by getting a light controller - a multi-socket extension cord. You can buy these at any home improvement or hardware merchant. These holiday hookups let you plug multiple strands of lights to one cord and control them through one switch. They generally make them in green but they're also obtainable in white for white artificial trees. Attach the cord up and down the trunk of the tree with wire or pipe cleaner. IMPORTANT: Make 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 cable around the branch. Carry on until you reach the tip, then wrap back towards the base. You don't have to wrap it super tight, just enough to give the branch enough glow without obstructing or crushing the individual branches, and simultaneously, hiding the wires well. As you work back toward the base, you can wrap around a few individual branches top. When you hit the base start a new branch. You don't need to wrap every single branch either (this would take a ton of lights and probably make the tree look like it was on fire rather than beautifully lit!). Just make certain you are consistent with your spacing from top to bottom. Step back and take a look at the tree to see where there could be gaps. It's even easier to string with an artificial tree, as you can string as you gather together and position the branches. Using this technique will give your tree dimension and depth and make it look like it's lit from within!

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