Q: Can I use duct tape to hang Christmas lights?

• <div><p>Technically, you can use duct tape to hang Christmas lights, but it&rsquo;s not the best bet. Duct tape or other types of tape retain moisture, which isn&rsquo;t ideal when near an electrical wire. Plus, it can peel off due to the elements. Duct tape is also a very unattractive option, visually speaking. Instead, opt for roof clips for Christmas lights, which are affordable and easy to use.</p></div>

Q: Can I leave my Christmas lights up year-round?

• <div><p>Good news, Christmas lovers: you can<b> </b>keep your lights up all year, provided you choose the type. It's critical that you choose holiday lights made for outdoor use, as these can withstand winter weather conditions. In addition, it's best to use <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/incandescent-vs-led.htm">LED lights instead of incandescent ones</a>. LED bulbs can withstand temperature shifts and are energy efficient. </p><p>If you are considering leaving your holiday lights up year-round, ask your lighting installer about permanent installation. This project costs around <b>$3,500</b> but gives you about six to 10 years of LED lights and adds a pleasing aesthetic to your home. </p></div>

Q: Are LED Christmas lights safe to leave up all year?

• <div><p>No, you should not leave LED Christmas lights up all year. While the LED lights themselves are very durable, their wiring and casings can be as vulnerable as any Christmas lights. They&rsquo;re subject to drying out, experiencing cold or sun damage that causes them to crack, and even damage caused by gnawing pests. (The same is true of incandescents.) If you want your lights to last the years that they&rsquo;re rated for, bring them inside after Christmas is over. </p></div>

Q: What maintenance is required for holiday lights?

• <div><p>Inspect for burnt-out bulbs, secure connections, and protect from water exposure to maintain functionality.</p></div>

Q: How do I keep my icicle lights from tangling in the wind?

• <div><p>No one has figured out a perfect solution to this problem. Tying icicle lights down or adding weights to them can help, but it&rsquo;s a very time-consuming process and far from foolproof. If your winters are too windy, we suggest simply switching away from icicle lights to straight runs of non-dangling lights along the edge of your roof.</p></div>
