Hanging Lights Using Christmas Light Clips

Friday, September 18th, 2009
Joe Willmeth asked:


Outdoor Decorating With Christmas Lights Using Light Clips.

Today with all the new advances in Christmas lighting systems it is nice to know that these advances in hanging outdoor Christmas lights has made it easier to decorate your home for the holidays. Now you have access to all purpose Christmas light shingle clips that are simple to use and can be used from season to season. Most outdoor Christmas light clips can be used with C7 outdoor light strands, C9 commercial Christmas light sets, rope lights and the most popular icicle miniature lights to enhance your home during the holiday season. The Christmas light clips are usually made of flexible heavy duty plastic. The Christmas light eave and gutter clips are the perfect way to quickly and easily line your roof or fence with lights at Christmas time.

You have seen homes decorated with lights that look like they were just thrown in a line across the yard or roof. To have a professional looking light display and for precise positioning of each bulb, use one light clip per light no matter if they are C7 light sets, C9,outdoor light sets or Miniature lights. This way you have more control when you are placing the lights. If you are hanging your lights by the cords, shingle clips can be spaced 12 to 24 inches apart. It is recommended to place clips 6 inches apart for stabilizing icicle lights. Make sure that you bend the icicle light wires hanging down so they hang straight like a real icicle. There is nothing worse looking than icicle lights that have just been put up with no straitening.

How Many Light Clips Will I Need?

Ten feet of C7, C9 or Miniature lights will use approximately 20 clips. If you are hanging the popular Icicle lights, a 300 light set (25.5 feet) will require approximately 50 clips. Rope lights require Christmas light clips spaced 12 inches apart. Directions for use of the gutter light clips are usually included when you buy your light clips.

Here are the instructions for the most popular light clips.

To precisely position each bulb, detach the C-shaped light holder and attach it to the clip in front of the remaining piece. With a twist and push motion, insert the light socket into the light holder. C7 and C9 lights fit the larger loop; minis will fit in the smaller opening.

For shingle use slide the straight flat end under the shingle, lifting on the top curl to fit over the shingle. Insert light cord or tube securely in clip. Adjust light to desired angle.

For gutter use, holding the straight flat end roll the curled end of the fastener over gutter lip. Then, insert light cord or tube securely in clip. Adjust light to desired angle.

For Vinyl siding, attach the C-shaped light holder onto the curled part as the notch. Insert light and slide into desired position. Then, insert the tip of the flat straight end of the fastener into the horizontal seam of the siding. Lights are held safely away from the siding surface.

For fences and decks the curl will stretch to fit on deck railings and fences. Then, light cords can be slipped in the hook or the C-light holder can be used to hold individual lights.

Take time to plan your outdoor decorations. You should have at least one focal point which will be your major attraction. From the major focal point, tone down the decorations to highlight or picture frame the major display. Your outdoor display does not have to be large or grand. Create a theme and keep your display simple and to the point, then you will cheer up everyone that passes by during the holiday season.

What type of lighting should I get for taking photos in a room with no natural light, such as a basement?

Thursday, September 17th, 2009
sk asked:


I am getting ready to finish my basement and will be designing an area with backdrops, etc. so that I can take pictures of my son. I have a decent camera for a point and shoot (Canon A630)…and am hoping to start taking some portrait shots of my 1 year old. Since the basement has little to no natural light, I am wondering what type of lighting I should install in order to get quality photos. Do I need to invest in lighting specifically geared towards photography or can I re-create that type of lighting by finishing out the area with a certain type of light? I don’t know much about the different types of photography lighting available, but I can use some of the advanced options on my camera. I am definitely still an amatuer in photography, but I am hoping to improve. Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated!
