Q: How long does it take to hang Christmas lights?

• <div><p>There&rsquo;s no fixed answer to this question, as it depends on the size of your home and the number of lights you want to hang. On average, people spend one to four hours hanging Christmas lights. You should also consider <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/hire-pro-help-decorate-holidays.htm">hiring a holiday decorating service</a> to get the job done quickly and efficiently.</p></div>

Q: Can I fix a string of lights without a tester?

• <div><p>Yes, you can try removing and replacing each individual light bulb one at a time until you find the problem bulb&mdash;just be prepared for it to take a while. The bulb tester is worth the investment if you don&rsquo;t have a lot of extra time to spare or need to test several strands of lights.</p></div>

Q: Do you need a special extension cord for outdoor Christmas lights?

• <div><p>Yes, you should purchase and use an extension cord rated for outdoor use to power Christmas lights. Extension cords intended for indoor use do not have the same protective properties as outdoor versions, so they can&rsquo;t withstand the exposure to the outdoor elements. Be sure to plug your Christmas lights into outdoor extension cords only.</p></div>

Q: How do you hang Christmas lights on a roof peak without a ladder?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t have a ladder, you may be able to use a light-hanging pole. If not, you&rsquo;ll have to rent a bucket lift or other machinery to reach your roof. </p></div>

Q: What are the different types of lighting?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-lighting-your-home.htm">type of lighting</a> you choose can have a big part in the aesthetic and function of your space. Ambient lighting refers to indirect or diffused lighting that evenly reaches most areas of the space. Task lighting illuminates specific areas, such as a workspace. Accent lighting draws attention to details in your home, and decorative lighting draws attention to itself.</p></div>
