The Best Way To Accentuate Using Outside Led Christmas Lighting

Hanging LED christmas lights is popular and customary for many families

. But it can be a daunting and stressful experience. Take the time to plan and hand the LED christmas lights in systematic, organized style. A little planning can do a lot!

Here's what you should know to get the LED christmas lighting endeavor done without the stress and headache.

1. Write an Electric Plan. Plan ahead and know what you have to hang lights on, and how you plan to plug them in. Connecting too many strings of bulbs together can blow fuses (especially the cheapest strings of lights). Plan the format by utilizing a couple of electrical outlets.

2. Safety Issues. Clear the dried leaves from gutters and downspouts to alleviate the chance of fires. Be sure the electrical cords are intact and not cracked or torn. Be sure the hooks are secure and have durable place to connect the lights.

3. Use Proper Equipment. Get out the equipment you will need for the task. Perhaps, you will need a ladder, tape measure, light clips or pins, attractive lights and extension cords. You might also need a hammer, pliers and a screwdriver.

4. Segregate light strands and check out the lights. Before attaching any decorations, separate the strands, lay them out across the yard or driveway to get all the twists and kinks from the strings. Check for broken bulbs and split wiring. Plug in the light strings, and swap out any dead bulbs. It's easier to replace burned out bulbs before they are suspended and out of reach.

5. Hangers, hooks and clips. Equally space the hooks or clips along the eaves of your house. Make sure the hooks/clips are linked firmly and spaced far enough apart to prevent the light strands from dangling or swinging in the breeze. Usually, 12 inches is perfect. Attach all the hooks along the spots you plan to have lights. Don't use staples or nails, since the wiring can be split, light strands can be ruined, and potential fire risks can be created.

6. Hang the lights. Before climbing the ladder, make sure it is on leveled ground and has a firm footing. Ask someone to hold the ladder balanced. When hanging LED Christmas lights, try your best to hold the strings up to protect against the weight from the not-yet-hung portion of the strand from pulling off or breaking any clips or hooks.

7. Switch on. Now that the lights were placed securely in the light hooks, connect the strings into the created outlets. Set clocks if you're using them. Find out to be sure there are no extension cords dangling, or drooping wires that could create a safety risk.

8. All Systems Go. Now it's time to turn on the light fittings and do a final check for any missing or dead bulbs. If there should be a whole string that isn't working, check the connectors before replacing the string. Many times the problem is a bad connection or a burned out light bulb instead of a defective string, especially if the strand worked before hanging.

9. Enjoy the Show! Pick up any debris and empty boxes, get your instruments away, and take a walk from your house to have a better look at your creations. Bet you've got the most wonderful light display in your block!
