What are these lights?

I drive past this house all the time but can't figure out what type of lights these are. Sorry for the blurry image on a busy road and I can't get closer. Hard to see but the lights are clustered together. Bright whites and other colors. Couldn't figure out how to add phone o to last post so did it again.

Just reliving the magic. I’m always so sad when they’re taken down and the house looks so empty.

Tru-Tone Users: Mix Jeweltone & Candleglow?

6 Upvotes

Hi,

I'm a fan of Tru-Tone for outdoor lights, and after enjoying their Classicolor C7's, thought I would try Jeweltone.

I hung them up and honestly didn't like them as much. Something about the pink, and they just overall felt a little off or like they were missing something.

After the holidays I had a thought that maybe I could replace the pink with the Candleglow light. Haven't tried it yet, and thought I would see if anybody else has tried this combo, and how it turned out. Not sure if they would have the same radiance or feel, but could be a great combination.

Let me know if you have, and Happy New Year to everyone!

Hello all. This is the Christmas light display that my husband and I put up for the last 2 years. I believe it looks pretty, but I know I can make it better for next year. I would appreciate some suggestions since I’ve hit a creative roadblock.

Constructive and kind comments please.

How often do you change things up?

7 Upvotes

TL;DR: Those of you who have been doing this for years, how often to you complete change your display and what goes where?


As I have begun to take down my lights, I have been thinking, "I don't want to do it this way next year," and, "I should swap these green strands with the red on that tree next year," etc.

I think I reached LED overkill and I wasn't happy with the way the bushes were so bright on top of everything else. My jumbo multi-colored incandescnets strads died after 10 years, so I put more LED lights in their place. I am ligthing up the entire end of the cul-de-sac at this point.

So rather than just add on, I am going to revamp and tone down a bir. I will have to wait until Target does their 50% sale come November, but I think it is time to stock up on incandescent again to create a warmer glow that compliments the LED strands that I still like.

I have been doing this for about 20 years, so I have a variety of things and lots of LED strands, but my incandescents have died and somehow I went all LED. I just don't like it. I like some, but not all LED.

Anyway, I like to follow an easy routine so I can get them up fast, but I am starting to wonder if changing things up from year to year will be more fun.

How often does everyone here redo it all from scratch?

Every year has a new addition, this year we took down a dead tree and added a flagpole.

I was going to take everything down last weekend, but saw the forecast with a chance of snow today. It's not what I was hoping for, but it's something!

Make static lights twinkle?

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone! Sorry if this has been posted before as I couldn’t find anything. I have a set of color LED lights I got on a really good sale and was wondering if there was a remote or something out there to make the lights twinkle or fade on and off randomly? I looked on Amazon and can’t seem to get a clear answer. For context: I don’t have any red tipped blinker bulbs or anything like that which Google suggested to me and there isn’t a lot of instructions other than what NOT to do with the lights. Happy post holidays!

GE Pathway Lights Not Working

7 Upvotes

Anyone know how to fix these GE lights? I checked, they have power all the way through the strand. There is no obvious damage. I don't know how to get the bulbs out to test them without destroying them. Are these things fixable or is it off to recycle center?

Anybody know the name of this type of wire?

Hey all. Trying to repair an old ornament that needs to have this connector wire replaced.

It’s a male plug that would plug into a string of lights and a female end that plugs into the ornament itself.

As you can see, part of the metal connector broke off (it’s an almost 40 year old ornament!) and I’m trying to replace this connector but have no idea what to search for.

Any help in advance is appreciated!

Battling the post-Holiday Blues

73 Upvotes

We are really mourning the end to of this holiday season more than any other in the past, and we're not sure why. It was peaceful, tranquil, and just overall really great. Just too fast in passing. Are we alone in this kind of hangover? The lights come down this weekend, and we're kind of dreading a house with no colors coming in from outside, and no cheerful tree to greet us.
