How long can you hang lights on stucco without damage?

• <div><p>The length of time shouldn’t matter much if you stick with lightweight Christmas lights and similar decorations. Those shouldn’t pose risks to your stucco. You should avoid attaching anything to your stucco that could fall because it’s too heavy, which may take part of the stucco with it. Some methods, like using double-sided tape or adhesive hooks, will naturally wear out over time and lead to falling lights, so don’t expect to leave these lights up year-round.</p></div>

Can I replace incandescent bulbs with LED bulbs on a light string?

• <div><p>No, you shouldn’t insert an LED light into an incandescent socket. It usually won’t fit anyway, but in the unlikely chance that it does, its electrical demands are too different for it to work properly. </p></div>

Considering the pros and cons of hiring a professional holiday light installer can help you decide if it’s right for you. Here are some advantages and disadvantages:

Pros

Saves time
Reduces stress
Produces for custom, high-quality designs
Provides better-quality lights
Reduces personal safety risks
May Include takedown and storage services

Cons

More expensive than DIY light installation
Less control over the design
High demand for installers
Contractors may keep the lights and decorations
