What does it mean if half my string of lights is flashing?

• <div><p>The most likely cause of accidentally flashing lights is that a regular bulb has been replaced with a flash bulb by accident. If that’s not the case, you should look for a bulb on the strand that is not quite seated properly and will lose its connection when it’s touched or moved.</p></div>

Q: Why should I hire a holiday light installation professional?

• <div><p>While DIY Christmas light hanging is possible, there are a few reasons why outsourcing this project is in your best interest. First and foremost, your safety is essential. People who are physically unable to hang outdoor lights should consider hiring a pro for this job. Also, homes that pose a safety hazard, like multiple stories, should have a professional tackle the lighting project.</p><p>Additionally, hiring a professional holiday lighting expert is a great idea when you won't be able to maintain your holiday lights throughout the season, as many pros include repairs as part of their rates and packages.</p></div>

Q: What bulb makes Christmas lights blink?

• <div><p>A blinking, or twinkle, bulb makes Christmas lights blink. Usually, this type of bulb has a silver or red tip, making it easily distinguishable from other non-blinking bulbs. Most packages of Christmas lights come with additional blinking and non-blinking bulbs. Additional bulbs can be purchased at a hardware store or online retailer.</p></div>

Q: What date should Christmas lights be turned off?

• <div><p>There is no formal date for Christmas light removal, but January 2 is a standard day to take them down for many homeowners. However, some homeowners&rsquo; associations have strict rules around this topic, mandating that residents remove lights no later than two weeks after Christmas. Check with your local association or community for more information. </p></div>

Q: Do Christmas light shingle clips work if I get snow and ice?

• <div><p>Heavy amounts of snow could be a problem. In many climates, lots of snow on your rooftop can lead to freeze-thaw cycle that create <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/7-questions-ask-hiring-ice-dam-removal-company.htm">ice dams</a>, which can damage rooftops. But if you&rsquo;re using shingle clips, this snow poses an additional problem: As it melts and freezes, it can easily dislodge clips you&rsquo;ve placed on your roof.</p><p>You can clean snow off your roof after a fresh snowfall while it&rsquo;s still lightweight, but brushing off snow can also dislodge your clips. If you get a lot of snow, then roof clips become less viable. </p></div>
