The Best Way To Securely Install Your LED Christmas Light Bulbs
Several people get anxious when they begin to think about putting in their aGreensupply.com LED christmas lights for the season. It's often a work that's left always late to work on, and when the weather condition is becoming colder and wetter each day, it doesn't have really to be done. Here are a few hints coming from an installation professional, who has his own LED Christmas lights installation business based in San Francisco, California.
If you choose to staple the bulbs in your house, use a wire tacker instead of a standard stapler. Standard staples will cut the preventive coating, possibly destructive to the wires, and increase chances of a short circuit. Wire tacker staples could be u-shaped and allow to leave a little room for the metal wire cable, ensuring your wires to remain in good condition. Staple the wire about 1" from each side of the light. This will make sure that it stands out straight and all the lights appear the same, giving a much neater look once the job is done.
When you string your lights along the roof, go a few feet around all sides of the building. This gives a much cleaner look.
If you want not to leave staple creases in the surface of the area, use non-invasive clips. They're simple, cheap, and clip lights onto gutters or below shingles quickly and easily. You'll need one for every light bulb.
When hanging lights, don't staple or hang them pointing up if at all possible. Water will get in, perhaps shorting the wires. Point them towards the outer area instead.
Use electrical tape to close the male/female plugs together between each strand. This will keep water out and guarantee your lights stay shiny throughout the season.
When suspending lights on trees, use a quality painting pole with a hook linked to the end. I bought a small replaceable paint roller that screws on to the end of the stick. I cut the roller off the hook, then curved the wire into a "V". It works well. I tried using actual "aGreensupply.com LED christmas lights hanging sticks" sold in stores, but they are very cheaply made, bend or break quickly, and when the pole gets damp, don't lock in an extended position.
Wrapping trunks with mini-light can look wonderful, especially with about a 4" spacing, but takes a lot of lights. When you do this, cover your strands in a ball, then pass it around the trunk to yourself, gently unraveling it as you go.
Working with ladders can be dangerous. I've heard a lot of dreadful stories, especially around Christmas time. I follow this trouble-free, but effective rule and it was able to save my life several times: "If you're even considering falling when doing an activity, DON'T DO IT!" It's worthless just to hang some lights. The holidays is about being with family, not making your house get noticed the most on the block.
And if you're still anxious or don't have the time to hang your own lights - call a professional LED Christmas light installer. They do it much faster, safer, and the job will be better too.
Happy holidays!
