Can I leave my Christmas lights up year-round?

• <div><p>Good news, Christmas lovers: you can<b> </b>keep your lights up all year, provided you choose the type. It's critical that you choose holiday lights made for outdoor use, as these can withstand winter weather conditions. In addition, it's best to use <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/incandescent-vs-led.htm">LED lights instead of incandescent ones</a>. LED bulbs can withstand temperature shifts and are energy efficient. </p><p>If you are considering leaving your holiday lights up year-round, ask your lighting installer about permanent installation. This project costs around <b>$3,500</b> but gives you about six to 10 years of LED lights and adds a pleasing aesthetic to your home. </p></div>

Q: How can you tell which Christmas light is burned without a tester?

• <div><p>If you need to visually inspect your Christmas lights to determine which are good and which need replacement, there are a few things to look for. First, look for discoloration, such as a dark spot or two on the inside of the glass. The spot is an indication of a burnt filament. Also, look for missing filaments, cracked bulb glass, and broken sockets.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth fixing Christmas lights?

• <div><p>Repairing a strand of Christmas lights will save you a few dollars and the hassle of going to the store to purchase new ones. That may or may not be enough to make fixing them worth it to you. However, if the lights are already hanging or around the tree, removing and replacing them is far more time-consuming than performing a quick repair job. </p></div>

Q: Can I fix a string of lights without a tester?

• <div><p>Yes, you can try removing and replacing each individual light bulb one at a time until you find the problem bulb&mdash;just be prepared for it to take a while. The bulb tester is worth the investment if you don&rsquo;t have a lot of extra time to spare or need to test several strands of lights.</p></div>

Q: What do you need to do for a Christmas light show?

• <div><p>To synchronize your Christmas show to music, you&rsquo;ll need the standard holiday lights, decorations, lawn ornaments, tools, and outdoor-rated extension cords. You&rsquo;ll also need a digital controller, computer, and software that allows you to create your musical show. </p></div>

The ladies did an excellent job! Our adult children scheduled a deep clean for us as a gift. Everything sparkled and the house smelled so clean. The office was very helpful in communicating arrival times. Definitely looking to have them back before the holidays
