Best holiday decorators near Independence, MO

Q: Can I use both LED and incandescent Christmas lights together?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s not a good idea to mix LED and incandescent Christmas lights if you can avoid it. LEDs and incandescents can have significantly different electrical current needs. This difference can lead to a higher risk of problems and failure for both light strands. When possible, switch all your lights over to one kind or the other for the best results. Do not connect the different types of light strings to each other, and avoid linking them to the same circuit. </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: 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: How much does it cost to install Christmas lights on a roof?

• <div><p>The average cost to have a professional install Christmas lights on a roof is about $420, with most homeowners spending between $220 and $650. Some companies may charge between $1.25 and $3 per square foot, excluding the cost of the lights. For extensive or complex jobs, the cost can exceed $1,000. While doing it yourself can save money, it is only recommended if you are comfortable working at heights.</p></div>

Q: How do you attach Christmas decorations to the roof?

• <div><p>During the holidays, big box hardware stores sell many kinds of clips and hooks made specifically for hanging Christmas lights&mdash;including ridge clips, gutter clips, shingle clips, and mounted hooks. It&rsquo;s best to avoid nails, staples, and screws since they can damage your roof.</p></div>
