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: How much does it cost to install permanent Christmas lights?

• <div><p>Permanent lights can save you big in labor costs down the line, as you&rsquo;ll only need to invest in installing them once. As with regular lights, costs vary based on the display and the size of your home. Costs are similar to hanging regular lights, typically falling between <b>$220 and $650</b>. </p></div>

Q: Should you tip holiday decorators?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s unnecessary to tip holiday decorators, and most professionals won&rsquo;t expect it, but it&rsquo;s a nice gesture to show your appreciation for their work. If the expert goes above and beyond to keep your delicate decorations safe, or they&rsquo;re hanging your exterior lights and putting out lawn decorations in freezing temperatures or inclement weather, a tip between <b>10% and 20%</b> of your total will be appreciated. Large jobs that include interior and exterior work are also good opportunities to tip, especially if your expert is performing a rush job close to the holidays.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth fixing Christmas lights?

• <div><p>Repairing a strand of Christmas lights will save you a few dollars and the hassle of going to the store to purchase new ones. That may or may not be enough to make fixing them worth it to you. However, if the lights are already hanging or around the tree, removing and replacing them is far more time-consuming than performing a quick repair job. </p></div>

Q: How many feet of lights do you need to wrap a column?

• <div><p>For a 7-foot-tall column, choose a light strand that is at least 32 feet long. You&rsquo;ll also need to measure the distance from the column to the closest outlet to get outdoor extension cords that are the right length.</p></div>
