Q: What bulb makes Christmas lights blink?

• <div><p>A blinking, or twinkle, bulb makes Christmas lights blink. Usually, this type of bulb has a silver or red tip, making it easily distinguishable from other non-blinking bulbs. Most packages of Christmas lights come with additional blinking and non-blinking bulbs. Additional bulbs can be purchased at a hardware store or online retailer.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth hiring a professional Christmas decorating service?

• <div><p>If you are hosting a large party this year or have staged your home for potential buyers, having a professionally-decorated tree can make a big impact. Christmas tree decorating services can also be more than worth it if you're unable to reach the top of your tree and need assistance with precarious ladder work.</p></div>

Q: 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&rsquo;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: What date should Christmas lights be turned off?

• <div><p>There is no formal date for Christmas light removal, but January 2 is a standard day to take them down for many homeowners. However, some homeowners&rsquo; associations have strict rules around this topic, mandating that residents remove lights no later than two weeks after Christmas. Check with your local association or community for more information. </p></div>

Q: What is the easiest way to hang Christmas lights on the roof?

• <div><p>The easiest way to hang Christmas lights on your roof is to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-hang-christmas-lights-gutters.htm">attach them to your gutters</a>, but there are plenty of user-friendly methods to try. You can use light clips to easily hook Christmas lights to your shingles, eaves, gutters, or soffit. However, using a telescoping pole is a surefire way to ensure your safety while hanging Christmas lights because it doesn&rsquo;t require using a ladder or climbing onto the roof.</p></div>

GREAT! The tech came with all that was needed to make the repair. I was all ready preparing that they would have to order a part and I would end up with no water over the holiday. (Why does it always break during a holiday?) I was so happy it was painless.
