Q: How can I save money on Christmas lights?

• <div><p>First of all, don&rsquo;t shop for bargain lights&mdash;often, you&rsquo;ll end up with a faulty or broken strand, full of dead bulbs or less-than-luminous brightness. Choose quality lights that will last you many years&mdash;LED lights have been known to last as long as 100,000 hours. Second, plan ahead and purchase lights for next year&rsquo;s Christmas during this year&rsquo;s post-holiday sales. Finally, have a vision and a plan&mdash;if you know the measurements of your home, including any windows, doors, and outside bushes you wish to light up, you should be able to only purchase the necessary lights and not more than you need.</p></div>

Q: How do you hang Christmas lights on a roof peak without a ladder?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t have a ladder, you may be able to use a light-hanging pole. If not, you&rsquo;ll have to rent a bucket lift or other machinery to reach your roof. </p></div>

Q: 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&rsquo;ll last you for many holidays to come&mdash;far longer than your basic halogen bulbs. Along with that, they also save you big on energy costs throughout the season.</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: 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>

The only problem was the color of the pool deck paint did not match the paint chip color. This was not the fault of Jayâ s and they will be coming back to Re-Paint the deck once the paint comes in from factory."
