!±8± Christmas Lights make - Adding Twinkle

Have you grown tired of your steady-on Christmas lights?

Perhaps it's time to add a petite twinkle!

When designing your Christmas light display, there are some aspects of manufacture to keep in mind as you make your lighting plans. Early in the process you'll pick the style of lights you want to use based what you like - from original C7 and C9 Christmas light sets, to mini lights to the most recent in Led lighting. Christmas light lovers have never had so many choices. Next you need to think a color scheme.

The most beloved color is transparent with multi, red, blue and and green not too far behind. New upward trends in purple, pink, and teal are making the lighting future very exciting.

So, you've premium the types of lighting you want to use, you've decided on color and now you wonder, "what about twinkling and movement in my lighting display?" or perhaps you are thinking,"how do I drive my neighbors crazy with twinkle lights".

There are a wide range of ways to add movement to your Holiday lighting. Let's take a quick look at a few of them.

1. Turn your steady mini lights into twinkling lights. That petite extra bulb with a red tip is a flasher bulb. It causes all the lights on the string to turn on and off simultaneously.

You don't need more than one flasher per line but if you have a longer mini light set that is wired in sections, you can put a flasher in each section of bulbs.

2. Mini lights also come with built in controllers. These sets generally have 140 lights and have many functions like chase, fade, slow fade, steady on and more. These light sets are like cayenne pepper and unless you are using them on your Christmas tree - that's excellent - you should be cautious not to overuse these spicy lights.

Unless, of course, you like a carnival climate in your lawn. In which case, go for it. Remember, those neighbors?

3. C7 and C9 Christmas light sets can be set up with 2-3 lines offset by 50% or 30% of the spacing between the individual bulbs and connected to a multi channel controller that will cycle throught the 3 channels. This will give your lights a marquee effect. (This is also a good approach for outlining signs.)

4. Lastly, one of the nicest and most elegant ways to add twinkle to your lighting is to sprinkle in a few C7 or c9 twinkle lights into your transparent bulb display. imagine a astonishing tree, full of clear C7 lights - and every so often, randomly located through the tree, a very few twinkling lights.

Twinkle light bulbs start to flash as they heat up - with about a one second on and a one second off rhythm. If you use just the right estimate of twinkle lights, viewers won't necessarily see the twinkling operation right away - they'll just see that you have a magical tree or two in your yard.

Steady on, twinkling, flashing. There are distinct ways to personalize your Christmas light display with light movement. Just think it someone else part of your total design.
