Is it safe to fix my own Christmas lights?

• <div><p>Yes, tackling blown fuses and broken light bulbs is definitely safe. Fixing the wiring on a strand of Christmas lights isn’t a good idea, though, because of the danger of shock and fire. However, if you don’t feel comfortable working with any type of electricity, consider hiring a professional Christmas light installer to manage the job safely and efficiently.</p></div>

Q: How do professionals put lights on a Christmas tree?

• <div><p>Professionals use the same methods found in this guide unless they&rsquo;re decorating a particularly large Christmas tree. In that case, they may also make use of tools like extension poles to get the job done. </p></div>

Q: Who does holiday decorating?

• <div><p>If you need help with your holiday decorating, the first step is determining your lighting and decor needs to narrow down your pro options. For example, if you want a custom outdoor light display with all of the bells and whistles, you&rsquo;ll likely need to hire a local holiday light installer who specializes in that service. But if you only need to hang some lights inside in hard-to-reach places, consider hiring a handyperson or an interior decorator instead. It&rsquo;s best to contact at least three different companies for quotes and to find out what services they offer.</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: How do you make a prelit Christmas tree light blink?

• <div><p>If you take home a pre-lit Christmas tree but want to spruce it up with blinking lights, don&rsquo;t worry, there&rsquo;s a simple solution. You can easily replace the light bulbs on the pre-lit tree with flashing bulbs. For a more subtle look, only replace some of the bulbs with flashing bulbs.</p></div>
