Christmas mini lights are a popular item among those decorating natural or artificial Christmas trees, sculptures or holiday light displays. With each bulb consuming only 1 watt or less, up to three strands may be connected into a single outlet. With the advent of interesting products such as net lights, icicle lights and twinkle lights, the possibilities for easy holiday decoration are practically endless.

The following are a few varieties of mini Christmas lights that are currently being offered:

Battery Operated Mini Christmas Lights.

Battery operated mini lights are an excellent option for Christmas displays that are either far from a line power source, or otherwise need to appear cordless. Sold in sets of 12, we offer both 10 light and 20 light strings. In both cases, you may choose from clear or multi colored options. The battery pack, which requires two (2) D-size batteries, is separated by two feet of cord from the first mini bulb, and each bulb is about six inches apart.

Christmas Icicle Mini Lights.

Our commercial grade Icicle Christmas Mini Light is another quick and easy option for anyone creating indoor and outdoor Christmas displays. Drops are spaced 6″ apart, with a 2.5″ to 4″ spacing between each bulb. We currently offer three basic icicle mini light designs, with 5″ – 15″, 10″ – 20″ and 15″ – 30″ drops. Each icicle mini light strand contains 100 bulbs. The patented clip design ensure that each drop hangs straight, giving the appearance of real icicles. These products sell out quickly, so be sure to call for availability!

Mini Christmas Net Lights.

Net Lights are one quick and easy way to decorate trees, hedges and shrubs for Christmas yard light displays. Our net lights are sold in two sizes: 2′ x 10′ (“hedge topper”) and 4′ x 6′. Up to three nets can be connected together from a single outlet. Sold in sets of 12, our mini Christmas net lights can immediately transform your yard into a glimmering holiday display!

Premium & Commercial Christmas Mini Lights.

Our premium and commercial grade mini lights from American Lighting can be used for both indoor and outdoor applications. The commercial series offers 3,000 hours of performance, while the premium lasts about 1,500 hours. These mini Christmas lights are offered in strings of 35, 50, or 100 lights, with spacing ranging between 2.5 to 6″, and are available in a full spectrum of colors.

Twinkle Christmas Mini Lights.

Our extremely long-lasting (25,000 hours!) twinkle Christmas lights are ideally suited for permanent installation-for the holiday season or even year round. These mini lights are offered in both 15 foot and 80 foot strands, with lights spaced every 6″. Twinkle Christmas mini lights are sold in sets of 12.

Our LED mini string lights are an excellent alternative to standard strings. The color strings have a lamp life of 100,000 hours, while the white light strings last 60,000 hours on average. Our LED Christmas lights have a strong UV rating, making them perfectly safe for outdoor use.Those LED Christmas lights use 80-90% less electricity than standard incandescent Christmas lights.

Contractors and designers should be paid for their creative skills, not high equipment costs that leave them in the end with only minimum profits. The better grade the equipment, the more both the client and the designer save on technology expenses and invest together in a vision rather than a fixture and a wire.

Outside Christmas Decorations – How to Make a Christmas Light Show

The ultimate goal of anyone who loves to decorate their yard for Christmas is to set up a full light show that includes music. These shows can be difficult to set up, but they are spectacular to see and are well worth the effort.

Here are some steps to get your started on creating your own show:

Do your Research.

Before going any further, be aware that setting up a Christmas lightshow as part of your outside Christmas decorations take a lot of time and patience. It can be a great hobby, but it’s not as easy as plugging some lights in flipping a switch. So, if you are ready, keep reading.

You are going to need a few items to make this work:

1. A computer to do the programming.

2. A light controller with multiple channels. This is what controls the lights.

3. A software program to program the light controller. This will define when the lights turn on and off in relation to the music.

4. An FM transmitter to broadcast your music. Another option is a pair of speakers on your front porch, but it is unlikely that the neighbors appreciate the same song playing over and over again.

5. The lights! For a complete effect, this should include not just regular lights, but icicle lights, net lights and yard displays.

Organize and Plan.

Now you are getting down to the fun part. To make the show work, you will need to sit down with pencil and paper and design your system. Decide what music you want to play (preferably something that has to do with Christmas), and where the decorations will be. Your plan should include a drawing of your front yard, with sketches and notes on how the show will work.

Buy Your Equipment and Decorations

Now that you have your plan, you are ready to buy your decorations. This can get expensive fast, so do some research to make sure you aren’t overpaying. I suggest going through the internet for the software and control box for the lights. A search in Google or Yahoo should yield several results and allow you to compare several options.

Test, Test, and Test!

It’s important enough to say again: Test, Test, and Test! The first thing you should do is set up your controller for a single set of lights and make sure you can get it to turn on and off. Then get it to turn on and off to music. Then add a second set of lights and make sure you can get that one to turn on and off. See why this takes so long? It can be tedious, but the results are well worth it.

Set It All Up

After everything is programmed, it’s just a matter of setting it up. Hang the lights, set up the displays, and plug it in.

Now, all you have left to do is sip hot cocoa and watch your neighbors scramble to get their decorations looking half as good as yours!

Good Luck and Merry Christmas!

I have search the answers but they are to narrow and don’t give me enough information on how they found the answer.
There is a saying “give a man a fish and he is feed for a day but teach him how to fish and he will be feed for a lifetime”

Please teach me to fish for the answer.

But the answer would be a start.

It is an age old question.It has kept many a man up at night,pencil in hand,scribbling figures and measurements endlessly on ream after ream of paper.Still it perplexes even the most astute scholar of mathematics:How many lights should I put on my tree?When decorating indoor and outdoor trees for the holiday season,just how many lights should be used?The Christmas Light Source has found a solution to the problem.No more sleepless nights,no more endless formulas to compute.No,all you have to do is visit their website to see the Christmas Lights Calculator and answer a couple of questions to find out pretty much instantly how many lights you should put on your tree.
