Mini Christmas lights are the most common lights used in recent years. The bulb shape resembles a candle with a pointed tip. Mini Christmas lights are generally 1/4 inch in diameter and 5/8 inch tall.

C6 Christmas lights are the smallest of the strawberry-shaped lights that many consider the traditional Christmas bulb shape. The bulbs are generally 3/4 inch in diameter and 1 1/8 inches tall.

C7 Christmas lights have the same strawberry shape as C6 Christmas lights but are slightly larger. C7 Christmas lights measure 1 inch in diameter and 1 1/2 inches tall. Their width gives them a rounded, bulbous look.

C9 Christmas lights have the same traditional strawberry shape as C6 and C7 Christmas lights but are slightly larger than C7 Christmas lights. C9 Christmas lights measure 1 1/4 inches in diameter and 2 1/2 inches tall.

G Series Christmas lights are shaped like globes and come in a wide variety of sizes. The number after the G designates the maximum diameter of the bulb in eighths of an inch. To calculate the approximate diameter, you simply take the number after the G, divide it by 8, and round to the nearest inch. For example, G25 is a globe-shaped bulb approximately 3 inches in diameter, and G15 is a globe-shaped bulb that is almost 2 inches in diameter.

Incandescent lights and LED lights are the two main types of Christmas lights. In the past, incandescent Christmas lights were the norm, consisting of glass bulbs with metallic filaments inside. LED Christmas lights, on the other hand, are Light Emitting Diodes that glow when they come in contact with an electrical current. Both types of lights are acceptable for holiday lighting projects, but LED Christmas lights have several distinct advantages over conventional incandescent Christmas lights. In contrast to incandescent Christmas lights, LED Christmas lights offer the following advantages:

1 - More energy efficient: LED Christmas lights use about 1/10th of the electricity consumed by incandescent lights. Because the filaments in incandescent bulbs must be warmed in order to produce light, the bulbs waste a fair amount of energy generating heat instead of focusing on producing light. LED Christmas lights, on the other hand, do not have bulbs (only covers) and generate very little heat. For example, it takes only 4 watts to illuminate a 70-light LED string, but it takes 4-5 watts per bulb to illuminate a string of C7 incandescent lights.

2 - Safer: Because LED Christmas lights generate less heat, they reduce the risk of fire.
Longer life: LED Christmas lights last on average 10 times longer than standard incandescent lights. LED Christmas lights do not have filaments, which is the metallic part of incandescent bulbs that burns out or breaks easily.

3 - More durable: Because LED bulbs are made with hard plastic instead of glass, LED Christmas lights are much harder to break. Glass-bulb incandescents break more easily. The colored layer of translucent paint on incandescent bulbs is also prone to fading and flaking when exposed to weather.

4 - Brighter colors: LED Christmas lights emit a brighter and more distinct color than their incandescent counterparts. Incandescent lights generally emit subtler, yellow-tinted colors, which can sometimes have a faded appearance.

Although LED Christmas lights have many advantages over conventional incandescent Christmas lights, LEDs also cost more. All decorators must weigh the cost against the benefits to decide whether it's worth it for their particular use. Remember, though, that you'll be saving money in energy consumption costs by using LEDs because they require less electricity. They're also safer, longer-lasting, and emit more intense colors. LED Christmas lights might seem a bit futuristic, but they're also the Christmas lights of the present.

While shopping for LED light sets, you might also come across Wide Angle LED lights. These miniature LED Christmas lights have a wide angle lens that diffuses light outward instead of focusing it at the tip of a bulb. Because of their ability to spread light, Wide Angle LED lights are another option when striving for a brighter effect than traditional mini lights can provide.

How Many Lights Do I Need?

When decorating a Christmas tree with lights, you should use approximately 100-150 mini Christmas lights per foot of tree. The 100-light recommendation will allow more room for ornaments and foliage to be seen, but the 150 recommendation will create a stronger twinkling effect. Slender trees will light up just fine with 100 lights per foot, but you will want to use 150 Christmas lights per foot for a tree with thick, full foliage. Here's a light count guide for quick reference:

* For a 6-foot tree: 600-900 Christmas lights
* For a 7-foot tree: 700-1050 Christmas lights
* For an 8-foot tree: 800-1200 Christmas lights
* For a 9-foot tree: 900-1350 Christmas lights
* For a 10-foot tree: 1000-1500 Christmas lights

Decorating Tips

Decorating with Christmas lights can be a complicated project. With so many strings of lights, different kinds of plugs, extension cords, and power concerns, it's easy to get overwhelmed. Here are a few tips to simplify your decorating process and keep you safe this year:

* Hang them lit. Remember to plug your Christmas lights into the outlet before arranging them on the tree. This allows you to discover any loose bulbs or technical problems before the lights are on the tree or the house. It will also help you distribute the lighting evenly.
* Connect only three sets. When connecting incandescent or LED Christmas lights end-to-end, do not exceed three sets.
* Prevent surges. Light sets should be plugged into a surge protector light bar to deter overload.
* Separate by bulb count. Do not connect strings of different numbers of lights. When connecting strings of Christmas lights, you must separate by bulb count. Keep 100-light strings with 100-light strings, 50-light strings with 50-light strings, and so on for any number of lights. If you connect a 100-light set with a 50-light set, the 50-light set will burn out prematurely. The same is true with novelty light sets or tree toppers: if they don't match the bulb count, then plug them into their own outlet on an extension cord to prevent burnout.
* Don't overload extension cords. A standard 9-foot-long extension cord with a three-plug receptacle will handle three light sets per plug receptacle: two on the front, and one on the back. Be sure to separate light sets by bulb count. You can have multiple bulb counts on the same extension cord, but you can't plug them into the same plug receptacle outlet. For example, one plug receptacle could have three 100-light sets, the other plug receptacle could have three 50-light sets, and the third plug receptacle could have three 35-light sets.

Power Setup: Watts and Amps

Pay attention to watts and amps when decorating your home with Christmas lights. The first thing to note is that the wattage of an incandescent bulb varies by size and by the length of the string. Although you can connect up to three sets of Christmas lights end-to-end, you still have to consider the total load that will be drawn from your outlet. A standard outlet can support only 16 amps. Often this exterior outlet is on the same circuit as the room on the other side of the wall. That means you have to add up the amps you're already using inside the room to determine how many amps you have left for your exterior Christmas lights. You can calculate the number of amps you'll need for your lights using this equation:

(Number of feet x Number of watts) / 125 volts = Number of amps

For example, incandescent C7 lights typically require about 5 watts per bulb. If you have a string measuring 200 feet, multiply 200 feet by 5 watts to get the total number of watts needed, which is 1000 watts. Then divide the 1000 watts by 125 volts to get a total of 8 amps. This string of lights will pull a total of 8 amps. Check if your plug has 8 amps to spare. If it does, you can plug your lights in there.

For mini incandescent lights, you can use the following approximations to determine amps:
o Light strings with 35 or 50 lights: 0.2 amps
o Light strings with 100 lights: 0.4 amps

If your LED or incandescent Christmas lights are not working, try these troubleshooting tips to find the source of the problem.

* Got enough power? Make sure all circuits are on and all plugs are plugged into power sources that can handle the load.
* Check the fuse. If your plug or light set has a fuse, check to see if the filament in the fuse is broken. If it is, replace it.
* Spread plug prongs. Sometimes plug prongs don't make full contact with the circuit. Gently pry the prongs slightly outward to ensure circuit contact.
* Brighter than usual? If your incandescent lights seem brighter than usual, it's likely that multiple lights have burned out. Find and replace the defective bulb(s).
* Test with your finger. Run your finger over the tops of the incandescent bulbs. If the set lights up when you touch a particular bulb, you know you've found the culprit. Remove and replace this bulb with one that will make a secure connection with the circuit.
* Test with a tester. This method is particularly useful when testing incandescent mini light sets. Plug one light set into the plug outlet on the light tester. Push the test button on the tester. Any defective bulbs will make a buzzing sound. Note the bulbs that buzz and remove and replace all of them. If your light set has more than 50 lights, it might be easier to take each bulb out one at a time, plug it into the tester, and see if it's defective. Continue until you find the defective light.

Bulb Repair

For successful replacement of a defective incandescent bulb, please follow these guidelines:

* Unplug the lights first. Always unplug the light set before replacing a new bulb. If you don't, you'll have a current surge, which will burn out the new bulb.
* Don't mix and match. Just like strings of lights, don't replace a bulb on a 35-light string with a bulb designed for a 50-light string. Bulbs for 35-light strings use 3.5 volts, but bulbs for 50-light strings use 2.5 volts. If you use the wrong voltage on a single bulb, then your light set will not work properly.
* Stick to the same brand. Not all light sets and replacement bulbs are designed the same way. Use replacement bulbs from the same manufacturer that created your light set to ensure proper fit and function.
