Christmas Fairy Lights

With Christmas fast approaching it’s time to think about how you’re going to decorate the house and the yard.

Today with the advances in technology it is possible to illuminate just about anything and everything at an affordable cost.

Christmas Fairy Lights come in a variety of styles and colors and your display options are simply limited by your imagination.

Types of Christmas Lights

Fairy Lights – the most common type of Christmas Light and one of the most versatile coming as it does in varying lengths, colors, styles. These lights are generally bulbs on wire strands which are evenly spaced with each length including a fuse bulb. When bulbs burn out they are easily replaced.

LED Lights – these lights are low on power consumption, cool to the touch and don’t require bulb replacement. They come in a variety of single colors and also come in color changing forms where the lights gradually change through a range of colors.

Solar Lights – solar outdoor lights are becoming increasingly common and are great where you need illumination but don’t have access to power. Like all solar lights they charge themselves during the day and provide illumination when dark.

Net Lights – these lights, generally LED lights, are connected together in a grid allowing them to be displayed in any form whether hung straight in a window to give the appearance of a grid of light or whether draped over a plant to make it appear that the plant is uniformly lit.

Rope Lights – these LED lights look like a rope of lights, are extremely easy to install and store and provide a soft light. They are available in a variety of styles varying from color, to display patterns such as chaser, twinkle or flashing.

Animated Lights – these are shapes that have LED lights which illuminate the shape. They come in many shapes, sizes and colors. Some of the most popular are Angels, Stars, Nativity Scenes.
