Is it really important to install decorative festive lights for my garden?

Yes, and this is especially because the astonishing outdoor festive lights make a huge impact on the looks of your garden.  In fact, it won’t feel like It’s Christmas if we don’t see these sparkling and bright festive lights. The night comes alive when December comes, and now is the right time to decorate your garden.

How do I choose the best external decorative festive lights?

When we talk about lights in general,  the rule of the thumb is, less is more. But this is Christmas so go ahead and experiment as long as you like; have fun and be adventurous on your decors, especially the lights.

What are other factors I should consider when I shop for festive lights?

Before you go out shopping and deciding on what for festive lights to get, here are some tips on what to do, and what not to do

• Dangle the lights for the best effect

For the trees on your garden, sprawl them with the decorative lights, from bottom to the top. Make sure that they are visible and not covered by leaves, and hang them on sturdy branches.

 Or you can use grid string type lights for your trees. It’s easy to install, has gorgeous light effects at night, and fits most trees. 

• Use connectible lights

This type of light set is adjustable and extendable. You can get to choose the length that you require for your garden. Just don’t commit the mistake of combining different sized light sets. This is to prevent untimely burning out of the lights on the smaller light set.

 Test the lights sets before decorating

To easily identify busted or missing bulbs, test them first before deciding to install on a tree.

• Extension cords must not be overloaded

Extension chords can only handle as much and don’t treat them as a regular power outlet. Let’s say your extension cord with 3 outlets is only 10 feet long, it can only accommodate up to three light sets with a maximum of 10 feet of length as well.

• Use surge protectors
  For a merrier and more festive holidays, use extra protection against overloading and voltage spikes; plug your light into a surge suppressor.

• Don’t disregard the festive lights after the holidays

To avoid spending again every year for your lights, tuck them in properly unto their boxes or moisture-free storage areas. Roll the chords or string accordingly so that straightening them up the next time will be hassle-free. Storing the lights and other accessories correctly will also extend their life so you don’t have to buy again the same lights the following Christmas.

• Don’t experiment with replacement bulbs

            Replacement bulbs have different specifications and they vary in voltage and types.

            Refer to the manufacturer’s manual before buying a replacement bulb and not trial and

Error method.

  Best Review From Customers

“It’s a nice Xmas ornament but there’s a couple of issues I have – 1, it’s not very big. For £25 I would have expected it to be bigger. Also, 2, you can’t open it up to replace the lights when they inevitably fail, so, if I bring it out next Xmas and the lights don’t work there’s nothing I can do about it.
Don’t get me wrong, it looks really cute and I like it a lot, but it’s simply not worth £25. £15 would be better value.

Also, apparently there’s 40 LED’s in this thing, but I can only see about 10, I’m not sure 40 would even fit inside such a small ornament!”

Worst Customer Review

I bought the snowman and penguin and delivered on time. Good construction until I plugged the snowman in and although it worked and lit up beautifully, found the securing screw cap the wrong way round. Too late to try and return as it’s for the kids and Christmas. Shame there isn’t a robust quality assurance process to over see these things.
I will not be buying from this company again.

I was really pleased with both the price and quality this item. I bought two to put outside the house at Christmas and they looked really impressive. The ice white lights are very bright and added a real focal point at the front of my house over the Christmas period. They attracted many admiring comments from my neighbours and those visiting me over Christmas and although they are safely tucked away again now they will certainly be taking pride of place in front of my house again next year.

Worst Customer Review

Bought two of these for Xmas 2106 – all bulbs working but one tree a different shade to the other! Recently unpacked and setup for this Xmas… 1/8th of the bulbs on each tree now do not work.Not sure why because they’ve lived in a box for a year?

“I bought these lights for my granddaughter to string around her bedroom ceiling. Her walls are gray/taupe, so the brown wire very much blends in. Her room now has the most amazing atmosphere. And what to say about the price?!?!? I couldn’t believe I could get 40′ of lights for so little! This has made me and my granddaughter very happy!.”
