How can I save money on Christmas lights?

• <div><p>First of all, don’t shop for bargain lights—often, you’ll end up with a faulty or broken strand, full of dead bulbs or less-than-luminous brightness. Choose quality lights that will last you many years—LED lights have been known to last as long as 100,000 hours. Second, plan ahead and purchase lights for next year’s Christmas during this year’s post-holiday sales. Finally, have a vision and a plan—if you know the measurements of your home, including any windows, doors, and outside bushes you wish to light up, you should be able to only purchase the necessary lights and not more than you need.</p></div>

Q: Can I use duct tape to hang Christmas lights?

• <div><p>Technically, you can use duct tape to hang Christmas lights, but it&rsquo;s not the best bet. Duct tape or other types of tape retain moisture, which isn&rsquo;t ideal when near an electrical wire. Plus, it can peel off due to the elements. Duct tape is also a very unattractive option, visually speaking. Instead, opt for roof clips for Christmas lights, which are affordable and easy to use.</p></div>

• <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>
