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>

Q: Should you hang Christmas lights on gutters or shingles?

• <div><p>You can choose to hang Christmas lights on either gutters or shingles&mdash;either option is fine. If you have gutter covers, shingles may be your only option. But, all-in-one clips are designed for both applications.</p></div>

Q: How can I hang Christmas lights without damaging my gutters?

• <div><p>Several options for hanging Christmas lights won't damage gutters. Using shingle clips avoids any hardware contact with them, and using plastic gutter clips minimizes the likelihood of scratching gutters. Remember not to rest a ladder, especially a metal one, against the gutters, and use a ladder stand-off device or stabilizer if you need to use an extension ladder. </p></div>
