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: Which additional home decoration projects can be undertaken simultaneously with the Christmas tree setup?

• <div><p>Consider hiring your professional to decorate other areas of your house in addition to the Christmas tree. They can match the rest of your home decor to the tree's design and even extend the style to your outdoor holiday decor .</p></div>

Q: How can I hang Christmas lights on my ceiling without nails?

• <div><p>You now know you can hang Christmas lights with adhesive hooks, but if you need alternatives, consider pushpins, tacks, staples, and adhesive putty (for small projects). If you have a drop ceiling, look for clips and hooks designed for the metal framing. </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>

Came out on a holiday weekend because rain delayed the originally scheduled dates. Removed some very large, overgrown, unmanageable pompous grass bunches using some heavy equipment. No damage to our yard, and cleaned everything up when they were finished.
