Choosing the Perfect Type of Christmas Lights
The original Christmas lighting was provided not by electricity or LED bulbs but by candles and torches. Christmas lights adorn everything during the holidays, including homes, trees, and outdoor decorations. While the use of decorative lighting during winter festivities has been around before Christmas was even celebrated, Christmas lights are now a distinctive feature of winter celebrations. Christmas light decorations, therefore, are not exclusively for the celebration of Christmas. Holiday lighting comes in different sizes, shapes, and colors. When decorating your Christmas tree, here are some things to consider when choosing what kind of lights will best complement your other winter decorations.
When it comes to buying Christmas lights, there are many different colors and types to choose from. While red, green and blue Christmas lights are still popular, the options for colors have impressively expanded in recent years. Aside from these traditional holiday shades, unique colors like pink and purple Christmas lights, as well as clear Christmas tree lights are becoming more widely appreciated.
There are different factors to consider before you purchase Christmas lights. There are specific holiday Christmas lights for different purposes, like those for indoor use. They are ideally designed for calmer environments than to those for outdoor use. On the other hand, outdoor Christmas lights are generally more durable since they have to withstand different temperatures. You can also use solar Christmas lights, or those commonly referred to as
LED Christmas lights. Such lights use less (or, with solar lights, no) electric power. As a result, they can be used anywhere.
You can also choose from
colored and clear Christmas tree lights. If you want to create a colorful and fun mood, the best option is the colored ones. However, you should use clear lights if you want a more traditional theme or a more subdued ambience. If you can't decide, opt for a pre-lit tree with both colored and clear lights!
Whether you prefer colored or clear lights, your holiday celebration wouldn’t be as festive without Christmas lights.
