Outdoor Christmas Lighting Displays – Why not try something different this year? You may use your existing Christmas lights in new or unique ways. Alternatively, you can research some of the new Christmas lighting styles that are on the industry.
Of course the cheapest alternative is to re-use your old Christmas lights in ways that are different from this past year or previous years. If you are inclined to run a series along front gutter of your property, try to change things up. Perhaps this year you may opt to light up the handrails of front porch along with the perimeter of your door. Experiment with various ideas. Maybe you’ve got a couple front trees that may be strung with lights while maintaining your house unadorned. Think outside of your traditional Christmas lighting ideas. You may try a number of different lighting ideas. If a new idea fails to appeal to you, simply down it and try something fresh.
A more expensive method of switching things up, is to put money into fresh Christmas lighting. With the newer lighter and more energy efficient lights on the market, you even be saving money in the long run. Nowadays more energy efficient lights will have a positive impact on your energy bill. If you do not have the budget for fresh Christmas lights this year, think about purchase just one”attention” piece. The addition of this ball to your existing strings of lights will add some glow.
A word of caution if you’re considering whether to buy brand new Christmas lighting. Christmas lights trends tend to come and go. What appeared spectacular and wonderful one year may not look so spectacular another calendar year. I learned this lesson with icicle lights. The very first year that they were on the market I loved them. They seemed so fresh and sparkly. The following year their popularity appeared to explode and each second house was adorned with icicle lights. I quickly tired of icicle lights. I tend towards more subtle traditional lighting schemes, wait a couple of years before buying into the new Christmas lights trends and you’ll not be as likely to make a mistake.
