What are the best types of Christmas lights for a roof?

• <div><p>When it comes to bang for your buck, LED lights are the clear winner for Christmas lights. While these will cost more upfront, they’ll last you for many holidays to come—far longer than your basic halogen bulbs. Along with that, they also save you big on energy costs throughout the season.</p></div>

What are the pros and cons of professional holiday light installation?

• <div><p>Considering the pros and cons of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/hire-pro-hang-christmas-lights.htm">hiring a professional holiday light installer</a> can help you decide if it’s right for you. Here are some advantages and disadvantages:</p><p><b>Pros</b></p><ul><li><p>Saves time</p></li><li><p>Reduces stress</p></li><li><p>Produces for custom, high-quality designs</p></li><li><p>Provides better-quality lights</p></li><li><p>Reduces personal safety risks </p></li><li><p>May Include takedown and storage services</p></li></ul><p><b>Cons</b></p><ul><li><p>More expensive than DIY light installation</p></li><li><p>Less control over the design</p></li><li><p>High demand for installers</p></li><li><p>Contractors may keep the lights and decorations</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Why is half my strand of Christmas lights out?

• <div><p>It can be frustrating to see one half of your lights working while the other half is dark. Long strands of Christmas lights often contain more than one circuit. If half of your strand won’t light up, there’s likely a burned-out or loose bulb on that circuit in the strand. Check the strand and replace any loose or damaged bulbs. </p></div>

What does it mean if half my string of lights is flashing?

• <div><p>The most likely cause of accidentally flashing lights is that a regular bulb has been replaced with a flash bulb by accident. If that’s not the case, you should look for a bulb on the strand that is not quite seated properly and will lose its connection when it’s touched or moved.</p></div>

Q: Do you need a special extension cord for outdoor Christmas lights?

• <div><p>Yes, you should purchase and use an extension cord rated for outdoor use to power Christmas lights. Extension cords intended for indoor use do not have the same protective properties as outdoor versions, so they can&rsquo;t withstand the exposure to the outdoor elements. Be sure to plug your Christmas lights into outdoor extension cords only.</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
