It is ideal to look for light strings having male and female receptacles in either ends. In this manner it is easier to route because you could connect two strings from end to end.

In the case of a tiny light, it is better to choose strings that have 50 bulbs than those with 100 to 200 bulbs since you can change a string when damaged or not working well. What ever kind of Christmas lights you’ll choose, remember to go for those that are UL-approved and take extra care on manufacturer’s instructions on the package.

Below are some tips on easy methods to hang LED Christmas lights:

1. Find a proper electrical receptacle for the bulbs and use a heavy duty extension cords that usually are 120-volt electrical electric outlet and protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter. Get a controlled switch outlet with an automatic time regulator that turns on at dusk and turns off late night.

2. Have a long measuring tape, determine the length of the house from the ground and its height, or trees and bushes you want to put your lights on. Measure the needed length of strings that you need to use.

3. Prior to plugging your LED Christmas bulbs, visually observe and inspect them for damaged bulbs and inadequate wires. If there are broken bulbs, change with new ones. It is important to use safety hand protection and long-nose pliers when pulling out light bulb. After changing the bulbs right now you can plug them and try out the string again. If the string didn’t work, check if the fuse had blown.

4. Work with a step ladder if your home’s eaves are low or you could also use an extension ladder. Remember to position it securely on the floor and against the eaves so that it can be sturdy and can support your weight.

5. Set the lights along the eaves and make use plastic clips, these clips clasp gutters and have link that holds a light string or a cable.

6. When affixing light strings to a window trim or any other vertical places, remember to use plastic clips that have screws and put them 12 inches apart. Do not use nails and staples because doing so can harm the wires which could be a cause of electrical hazards.

Christmas is time to shine. Always be creative in selecting and beautifying your LED Christmas lights. Make sure to fill the house with Christmas lights and make it the shiniest place around your community.
