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>

Q: How can I prevent Christmas lights from becoming damaged?

• <div><p>You can take a few steps to prolong the life of your holiday lights. Make sure to replace burnt-out bulbs as quickly as possible to avoid overloading the rest of the circuit and knocking out more lights. Before packing them up each year, plug each strand into the wall to confirm everything is still working. Wrap the lights carefully back into their original packaging or something similar&mdash;winding a strand tightly together or leaving it to hang loose in a storage bin can lead to frayed or damaged wiring. </p></div>

Q: Is it worth hiring a professional holiday decorator?

• <div><p>Hiring a professional decorator for the holidays&mdash;especially when <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/hire-pro-hang-christmas-lights.htm">hanging your holiday lights</a>&mdash;has countless benefits. Professionals know how to safely secure lights, can save you money on decor, and above all, make your home look stylish and chic. </p></div>

Q: 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&rsquo;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: Can I put up outdoor Christmas lights myself?

• <div><p>To get in the festive mood, you might turn to hanging holiday lights yourself. In many circumstances, DIY Christmas light installation can be cost-effective, not to mention fun. However, it&rsquo;s best to consider any limitations to this task and how that might affect your overall project, like tall roofs. Consider <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/hire-pro-hang-christmas-lights.htm">hiring a Christmas light installer</a> to place lights or decorations in hard-to-reach areas like roof peaks to avoid the risk of injury. </p></div>

"I signed a contract with Midas Lighting in December 2021 for holiday lighting at my house. At the time, I was not informed that it was a 5-year contract. I requested to cancel the service this year, 2025, but they are threatening to charge me 50% of the contract, which is $1,013 The contract clearly states a duration of 3 to 5 years, and I have already completed 3 years. I believe I have the right to cancel the contract since I no longer need their services. I do not recommend this company due to their misleading terms and aggressive collection attempts. "
