It’s Not Too Late to Get a Jump on Holiday Lighting
With the trends that are becoming popular with Halloween decorating, there are many that may say people who haven't started decorating for the holidays already are late to the party. But traditionally, that isn’t the case. This is the perfect time to start thinking about holiday decorations. With the longer decorating season, homeowners can now enjoy their home’s decorations for longer without having to deal with the scrutiny of their neighbors. Plus, getting an early start can mean dodging some of the holiday bustle that is inherent in the season.
This year, go all out decorating the house. Take some advice from local handymen that specialize in Christmas lights installation. Here are a few tips about trends and safety that can help make any home the talk of the block.
Choosing the Right Holiday Lights
One of the main colors of the season is green. Evergreen trees are a symbol of the season and their perennial color lends its meaning to the hope of rebirth after the winter is over. But, green can mean more than one thing this holiday season. New LED holiday lights are a simple way to go green and celebrate the continued health of nature by reducing the carbon footprint of holiday decorations.
Eco-friendly lights come in a variety of colors to help people celebrate any of the various holidays that are observed during this season. Along with the lower energy usage, homeowners can enjoy lower energy bills. This allows people to really take their decorations over the top without adding a huge electricity bill to their holiday budget.
Always Maintain Electrical Safety
When installing holiday decorations, be sure to take every step to ensure things stay safe. A few tips are:
- Don’t use incandescent bulbs on a live tree or around the yard. Their heat can ignite dried-up plant matter and cause a fire.
- Use power strips to plug multiple strands of lights and turn them off every night.
- Make an effort to break up electrical decorations into multiple circuits.
- Protect outdoor lighting with GFCIs.
- Keep extension cords protected from traffic or reroute them around high-traffic areas.
Hire Professional Lighting Installers
For those who have the desire to have a beautifully decorated house but not the time, there is always professional lighting installation. Handymen specialize in home decoration and they can light up a home in less time and usually for a lower cost than a homeowner can. Additionally, by hiring professional help, homeowners have the confidence that it will be done safely and conveniently.
