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: Do you need a special extension cord for outdoor Christmas lights?

• <div><p>Yes, you should purchase and use an extension cord rated for outdoor use to power Christmas lights. Extension cords intended for indoor use do not have the same protective properties as outdoor versions, so they can&rsquo;t withstand the exposure to the outdoor elements. Be sure to plug your Christmas lights into outdoor extension cords only.</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>

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: Should you hang Christmas lights on gutters or shingles?

• <div><p>You can choose to hang Christmas lights on either gutters or shingles&mdash;either option is fine. If you have gutter covers, shingles may be your only option. But, all-in-one clips are designed for both applications.</p></div>
