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: 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&rsquo;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&rsquo;s touched or moved.</p></div>

Q: What’s the safest way to hang Christmas lights?

• <div><p>There are several ways to hang Christmas lights safely. Here are some key <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/christmas-lights-safety-tips.htm">Christmas light safety tips</a> to keep in mind:</p><ul><li><p>Always use Christmas lights and extension cords that are rated for outdoor use.</p></li><li><p>Don&rsquo;t overload outlets by plugging in too many lights.</p></li><li><p>Opt for LED lights for a safer display that saves on energy costs.</p></li><li><p>Do not use old or broken Christmas lights.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Who can I hire to hang Christmas lights?

• <div><p>Aside from a <a href="https://match.angi.com/booknow/zip?taskoid=61520">professional light installation company</a>, there are a few other pros who may be able to help you hang Christmas lights. Along with specialty holiday decorators, a handyperson near you can also hang Christmas lights (and can fix that pesky drippy sink while they&rsquo;re at it). Either way, not all of these pros will offer the service, so be sure to call ahead and get multiple quotes before you hire.</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>
