Extra Long Christmas Lights – It is that time of the year to begin considering putting up your Christmas lights. Why not try something different this season? You can use your present Christmas lights in new or different ways. Alternatively, you can research a number of the newest Christmas lighting styles that are available on the industry.
Of course the cheapest choice is to re-use your old Christmas lights in ways that are not the same as last year or preceding years. If you tend to run a series across the front door of your house, try to change up things. Maybe this year you can choose to light up the handrails of front porch along with the perimeter of your front door. Experiment with different ideas. Perhaps you’ve got a few front trees that can be strung with lights while keeping your home unadorned. Think outside your traditional Christmas lighting ideas. You can try out a lot of different lighting ideas. If a new idea fails to appeal to you, just down it and try something new.
A more expensive way of switching things up, is to put money into new Christmas lighting. With the wider lighter and more energy efficient lights available on the market, you be saving money in the long run. Nowadays more energy efficient lighting will have a positive impact on your energy bill. If you do not have the budget for new Christmas lights this season, consider buy just one”focus” piece. For example, there are excellent light balls available at Ikea. The accession of the ball to your present strings of lighting will add some spice.
A word of caution if you are thinking about whether to buy new Christmas lighting. Christmas lights trends tend to come and go. What appeared magnificent and lovely one year might not seem so spectacular another calendar year. I learned this lesson using icicle lights. The first year that they were on the market I loved them. They seemed so new and sparkly. The following year their popularity seemed to explode and each second house was adorned with icicle lighting. I quickly tired of icicle lights. I recommend not spending very much money on the newest Christmas trend. I tend towards more subtle traditional lighting approaches, wait a year or two before buying into the new Christmas lights trends and you will not be as inclined to make a mistake.
