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

• <div><p>No, you shouldn&rsquo;t insert an LED light into an incandescent socket. It usually won&rsquo;t fit anyway, but in the unlikely chance that it does, its electrical demands are too different for it to work properly. </p></div>

Q: How many string lights can be on one outlet?

• <div><p>How many string lights can be on one outlet depends on a number of varying factors, including the total wattage of your circuit, the type of lights, the energy needs of the lights, and cord specifications. It&rsquo;s better to play it safe here to protect your circuit, so figure out the max wattage of your circuit, compare that to the lights, and move on from there. Generally speaking, LED string lights require less energy than incandescent bulbs, translating to a higher number of lights per circuit. </p></div>

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: What does professional holiday decoration include?

• <div><p>Professional holiday decorators are used to working with homeowners with varying needs, so the services can include nearly anything related to holiday decorations. Some services you might want to consider include the following:</p><ul><li><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/hire-pro-hang-christmas-lights.htm">Exterior light hanging</a></p></li><li><p>Other exterior decorations</p></li><li><p>Exterior tree decorating</p></li><li><p>Interior tree design and decorating</p></li><li><p>Removing holiday decorations at the end of the season</p></li><li><p>Packaging decorations after removal</p></li><li><p>Holiday decoration storage</p></li></ul><p></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>

A prompt, professional company. They painted the wood accents, and porch & patio areas on our brick house. There was also a small barn & a utility shed - both were painted to match the house & both had decorative trim. A great job resulting in an updated look.

I wanted to have a tall tree decorated for Christmas and realized that was a small job comparing to yards that are fully decorated, but Steve was willing to take my job anyway. He did a great job in a timely manner. Very pleased.
