Q: What safety concerns should I keep in mind when considering a holiday lighting project?

• <div><p>Ensure you have a safe environment for them to work on, and there aren&rsquo;t items such as logs, build-up of yard materials, missing or damaged shingles, and weak areas on the roof. Communicate any known electrical issues with contractors at the beginning of the project, and consider hiring an electrician to fix those. Finally, if you are attempting the project yourself, do so when there isn&rsquo;t any rain, and you can safely get your footing on the roof using proper equipment, such as an extension ladder. Don&rsquo;t attempt this alone, and have a helper nearby to assist.</p></div>

Q: Does light installation include taking down Christmas lights?

• <div><p>Most contractors will include removal of your lights in the price of installation, but it&rsquo;s always a good idea to double check. Storage of the lights is often also part of the package when you hire an installation professional, since you might choose to use the same lights for several years.</p></div>

Q: How many string lights can be on one outlet?

• <div><p>How many string lights can be on one outlet depends on a number of varying factors, including the total wattage of your circuit, the type of lights, the energy needs of the lights, and cord specifications. It&rsquo;s better to play it safe here to protect your circuit, so figure out the max wattage of your circuit, compare that to the lights, and move on from there. Generally speaking, LED string lights require less energy than incandescent bulbs, translating to a higher number of lights per circuit. </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: How do you hang string lights without nails?

• <div><p>Nails are a popular choice for hanging string lights, but they are not the only option. Use outdoor hooks, zip ties, or even awning hangers to string up lights outdoors. For indoor lights, use simple tacks, zip ties, damage-free adhesive hooks, or drawing pins. When all else fails, just wrap the lights around some furniture or outdoor fixtures. </p></div>
