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’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 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>

Q: How do I keep my icicle lights from tangling in the wind?

• <div><p>No one has figured out a perfect solution to this problem. Tying icicle lights down or adding weights to them can help, but it&rsquo;s a very time-consuming process and far from foolproof. If your winters are too windy, we suggest simply switching away from icicle lights to straight runs of non-dangling lights along the edge of your roof.</p></div>

Q: How do you synchronize Christmas lights to music?

• <div><p>Several Christmas light software options, like Vixen, LOR, xLights, Animated Lights, and Light-O-Rama, allow you to sync music to your Christmas light show right at home. All you need is a computer, the software, and a controller that connects to your laptop. Depending on your technical skills, you should choose more beginner-friendly software like Animated Lights or Vixen. </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
