What type of Christmas lights will my professional install?

• <div><p>There are many <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-christmas-lights.htm">types of Christmas lights</a> to choose from when working with a light installer. The main types available for outdoor lighting are dome, LED, incandescent, and C9, and your lighting professional’s choice will depend on the location and overall design. </p><p>C9 lighting is typically the most expensive option, ranging from <b>$15 to $70 per 25-foot strand</b>. These usually have fewer bulbs per strand, so you might need more than expected to cover a large area. Dome lighting is usually the most cost-effective option, ranging from <b>$6 to $15</b> <b>per 25-foot strand</b>. These bulbs are smaller and rounder than other options, creating a softer look. </p></div>

Q: What is the easiest way to hang Christmas lights on the roof?

• <div><p>The easiest way to hang Christmas lights on your roof is to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-hang-christmas-lights-gutters.htm">attach them to your gutters</a>, but there are plenty of user-friendly methods to try. You can use light clips to easily hook Christmas lights to your shingles, eaves, gutters, or soffit. However, using a telescoping pole is a surefire way to ensure your safety while hanging Christmas lights because it doesn&rsquo;t require using a ladder or climbing onto the roof.</p></div>

Q: Why do Christmas lights always get tangled?

• <div><p>Christmas light cords are long, thin, and flexible&mdash;which makes them exceptionally prone to tangling. As you try to untangle the very merry mess, the light bulbs and sockets may catch on the cords, making it even harder to pull cords through the knots.</p></div>

Q: How many lights do I need for a 7-foot tree?

• <div><p>Christmas trees need about 100 lights per foot, so you would need 700 lights for a 7-foot tree. </p></div>

Q: What costs are involved in holiday lighting installation services?

• <div><p>Costs can vary widely based on the lighting display's extent, the setup's complexity, labor rates in your area, and whether additional equipment or electrical modifications are required. It's best to get quotes from multiple professionals to understand the full scope of potential expenses.</p></div>
