Planning this Year's Outdoor Christmas Lights
Posted: 25 November 2009
It’s a well-established custom in the US to festoon your home with spectacular outdoor Christmas lights as the season of goodwill approaches. UK residents are increasingly embracing this convention, so much so that in some neighbourhoods the annual display of seasonal scintillations has become highly competitive.The key to getting the best results is undoubtedly good planning: know what you want before you buy. And bear in mind that as Christmas draws near, festive lighting flies off the shelves: it’ll be hard to find any if you’ve waited until just a few days before Santa’s arrival (vendors only stock what they think they’ll sell). The earlier you plan, the more likely you’ll find what you want.
Revamp your Christmas Tree Lights this Year
Posted: 25 November 2009
If this year you can remember how disheartened you felt after last year’s climb into the loft and all the straightening out of that tangled mass of old spaghetti you call fairy lights, only to find that, as usual, most of them aren’t working, now might be a good moment to consider investing in some new ones. Christmas tree lights today come in an inspiring range of different styles and colours and are vastly more efficient and versatile than the ones you’ve been clinging onto in that old box.

Posted: 25 November 2009

Whether you are devising a grand or a small event, a corporate function, wedding reception or just having a few friends over to your home on a summer evening, getting the atmosphere just right can be a big help. Parties are not just about food and drink or music and conversation, important though these are; you might be surprised to hear that lighting can also play a subtle but key role in making a party a success.
Outdoor Christmas Lights - Safety Tips for Installation
Posted: 25 November 2009
As the festive season approaches more of us are being adventurous in our choice of Christmas lighting. We’re rapidly becoming more ambitious and imaginative, a fact that is reflected by the steadily rising annual sales of outdoor Christmas lights. Without wishing to introduce a Scrooge-like note, it’s just as well to be cautious in exactly how we go about putting up those outdoor fairy lights. Winter weather often means snow and rain – and that means water. And water and electricity are a potentially dangerous mix.
Fairy Lights - How to Create Dazzling Effects
Posted: 25 November 2009
Edward Johnson, one of Thomas Edison’s assistants, invented electric fairy lights in 1882, dressing a tree with 80 small bulbs. By 1902, his invention was being mass produced. While most western households have a special box in the loft marked ‘Christmas tree lights’ you might be surprised to find just how spectacularly diverse the range of fairly lights commercially available today actually is. If that loft box contains a tangled mass of ageing cable and burnt out bulbs, you’re missing out on a new generation of decorative lighting which can transform your home – not just at Christmas, but all the year round.
