Smart Buying For Christmas Lights
Christmas Lights are popular during the holiday season because it gives life to our Christmas decors. They are available in different styles and prices. So here are a few suggestions in buying the best possible Christmas lights for your house at a reasonable price.
Compute the space where the Christmas Lights will be used.
You need to measure the exact length of the area where you will put the lights then add a couple of inches based on where your power outlet is located. So in case you are planning to hang them outside your house, determine the length of your own home and the distance to the power outlet.
However, in the event you plan to place the Christmas Lights on your Christmas tree, you can use a tape measure to determine the specific length of the Christmas lights that you will need to buy.
Determine how many strands of Christmas lights you need to have.
It will depend on your measurements of the area needed to be covered with Christmas lights and the length of strands of Christmas lights you will purchase. For example, your measurement is 50 feet and each strand of Christmas lights measures 10 feet, then you'll need five strands of Christmas lights.
Additionally it is advisable to use shorter strands of Christmas lights so that you could easily replace them if one strand gets damaged.
Decide the kind of Christmas Lights you need.
To easily determine the type of Christmas lights, you should know the function of your Christmas light. Would you be hanging them outside your own home? Are you planning to have indoor Christmas lights together with your Christmas tree?
As soon as you know your purpose then take a look at the features of Christmas lights which include bulbs, strand type and plug type.
- Bulbs: The bulbs could be in various sizes, shapes and color. You have to determine your Christmas holiday motif so that you could choose Christmas lights that match your other decors. Then, decide on the number of bulbs you like because Christmas lights differ in the number of bulbs per strand. Look inside the pack and you will see the number of bulbs included in the Christmas lights.
You also have to check the wattage of each bulb since the illumination of your decoration will depend upon the wattage and number of bulbs you would utilize. Moreover, bulbs have different lightning effect. Some bulbs may have a steady glow whereas others blink in different ways. So pick the Christmas lights with the bulb that you would love.
- Strand type: The strand of Christmas lights could either have serial or parallel wiring. In a serial wiring, all bulb won't light up if one of them is broken. Thus, it is best to have Christmas lights that has parallel wiring so that even when one of the bulb is damaged, all other bulbs would still illuminate.
- Plug style: Select an end to end type of plug if you're planning to use several strands of Christmas lights. This would permit you to easily connect all strands of lights together. But if your decorations will only require one strand of Christmas lights, then the plug type may not be that essential.
