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: Can you hang lights on eaves?

• <div><p>Yes, if your roof is in stable condition, you should be able to hang Christmas lights from the eaves. Hang Christmas light directly from the eaves for best results, using light clips or an alternative type of adhesive. When installing lights on your eaves, be sure to work carefully and avoid adding too much weight or pressure to them.</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: 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: Does cold weather affect Christmas lights?

• <div><p>Cold weather can cause older incandescent Christmas lights to fail by causing cracks in the finish or the glass itself. Modern LED lights are affected in the opposite way and perform even better as the temperature drops. </p></div>
