Advantages of Using LED Lights For Christmas
With the holidays just around the corner, it's time to think about putting up the Christmas lights. Here are some of the many advantages to using LED lights instead of old bulb based lights:
Inexpensive
Compared to traditional light bulbs, LED Christmas lights are usually a little less expensive when you first purchase them. Since LED lights are typically less expensive to manufacture, transport and package, the savings is passed on to the consumer in the up front cost.
More Reliable
When you buy a string of traditional Christmas lights, you know that you will need to go through and check every bulb to make sure it works and won't keep the entire string from lighting up. Many years, you'll need to replace at least a few bulbs before your lights will work. Since LED's are so much more reliable, it's likely that you won't need to endure this process again.
Lasts Longer
LED lights for critical applications such as for roadside lights, car lights or construction lights can last for years and year. However, since Christmas lights are only used once a year, for just a few weeks or just a month, and then only for part of the night, these LED's can last for many Christmases, and it is unlikely you'll need to buy new ones again for quite some time. Also, because LED's are so reliable, you can enjoy great cost savings since you don't need to replace them often, when compared to other types.
Smaller
Incandescent lights, even the smallest ones are several times larger than your typical LED lights. This means less weight and less strain on your back when you are hoisting those on to your tree, roof or walls. Smaller also means that these lights will store easier and take up less room.
Less Energy
By using LED lights, you can get the same or more light while using less energy. LED's are highly energy efficient and therefore you will save on electricity cost.
Brighter
LED lights are brighter and the light is stronger than traditional light bulbs.
Battery Powered
Want to light up your front yard this Christmas? Consider LED Christmas lights that use batteries for their power. This is far safer, easier to set up and less costly than using traditional lights.
Flexibility
LED Christmas lights can be easily dimmed, turned on and off and can change colors more easily than other types.
So, the next time you're considering getting out those bulky old Christmas lights, consider upgrading to LED, they are safer, more energy efficient, cost less over time, brighter, smaller, more flexible, more reliable and last longer. What's not to like?

How to String Lights on an Outdoor Tree
No matter if you about to string lights on an outdoor tree as a Christmas decoration or as a year round decoration, there are a few things that you may want to know that will make the task much easier. First, string lights on an outdoor tree is not just a Christmas decoration. Many shopping centers, hotels and other businesses use clear string lights on outdoor trees throughout the entire year. Many homeowners are doing the same because the string lights on outdoor trees provide peaceful and soothing lighting while adding beauty to their landscape.
Before you rush to the store to purchase of these lights for your outdoor tree, there is a couple of things that you should do first that will possibly save you time later on. First, you will obviously want to decide which tree or trees that you plan on decorating with the string lights. Because they require electricity, you should locate the nearest power outlet and determine the length of the extension cord that you will need. Next, using any type of string, wrap the string around the tree where you would like the lights to go. Then measure the string to determine the length of light that you will need for your outdoor tree. Doing those two things add very little time to your project, but it may save you an extra trip or two to the store later on. Besides using a ladder, a PVC pipe can make adding the lights to an outdoor tree much, much easier. Depending on the height of the tree, pick up a suitable length of PVC pipe that will reach the top of the tree. Normally a 10 foot PVC pipe is around 2 dollars. You will need to add a simple hook to one end of the PVC pipe. A clothes hanger or any heavy duty wire will work. Once you have your list complete, shopping for the lights on string will be easy because there will be no guessing work on what lengths to buy.
Now that you have everything that you need, you should be ready to add the lights on your outdoor tree. Before you add any lights, you should plug them in first to make sure that they all work. Once you are ready, start at the top of the tree. You can either use a ladder or the PVC pipe to reach the top of the tree. Then as you work your way down, you will want to circle the lights around the outdoor tree. The space between each row of string lights does not have to be perfect. Once the lights are wrapped all the way down your outdoor tree, you will want to tuck the string lights into the tree, just a little bit. If you live in a windy area, you may need to secure the string lights with small pieces of wire. Once it gets dark, it will be easier to make the necessary adjustments. The end result will be beautiful string lights on an outdoor tree that provide a soothing lighting effect to your yard.

Always a bigger bed to crawl into Wasn't it beautiful when you believed in everything? And everybody believed in you? It's all right, just wait and see Your string of lights is still bright to me Oh, who you are is not where you've been You're still an innocent You're still an innocent There's some things you can't speak of But tonight you'll live it all again You wouldn't be shattered on the floor now If only you would sing what you know now then Wasn't it easier in your firefly-catchin' days? And everything out of reach, someone bigger brought down to you Wasn't it beautiful runnin' wild 'til you fell asleep? Before the monsters caught up to you? It's all right, just wait and see Your string of lights is still bright to me Oh, who you are is not where you've been You're still an innocent It's okay, life is a tough crowd 32, and still growin' up now Who you are is not what you did You're still an innocent Time turns flames to embers You'll have new Septembers Every one of us has messed up too Lives change like the weather I hope you remember Today is never to late to Be brand new It's all right, just wait and see Your string of lights are still bright to me Oh, who you are is not where you've been You're still an innocent It's okay, life is a tough crowd 32 ...

Who Invented Christmas Lights?
Soon after Thomas Edison developed the light bulb that could be used for commercial use, the idea of Christmas tree lights was one of the first applications. Before the discovery of electricity candles were used as Christmas lights. The dangers of this were of major concern at the times.
As time evolved the candles had glass covers, or metal lanterns with small wicks and were hung on the trees like ornaments on Christmas trees. Think about doing that in this day and age: a recipe for a burning house.
Even with the dangers it took many years for holiday tree lights to become commercially available. It's said that the idea of these lights came from Edison's assistant, Edward Johnson: he had the bulbs made specially for his house and he displayed them his Christmas tree lights at his home on New York City.
From these humble beginnings the Christmas tree lights went through many changes before General Electric introduced them commercially. The early days of lights on Christmas trees was night lights strung together to make long stings of lights. You may have seen these in some old pictures. Those large bulbs that would shatter into a million pieces when they hit the floor.
Christmas mini lights were introduced in the mid to late 1970's. There have been many changes to the original Christmas lights but for the most part they are the same. Sales have climbed as application for these lights have changed to not just decorating the tree but also used as outdoor Christmas lights. Icicle lights are the most popular and are seen on most homes that use outdoor lighting at Christmas time. Outdoor decorative lighting has become one of the most popular types and can become somewhat of a competition among neighbors. Many people will use animated Christmas lights that can create a spectacular scene and some are even animated.
Many of the lights used now are led lights. They are long lasting and if one light goes out the whole string will still work, not like the old days, if one light was out you had to go through one by one to figure out the bad bulb. And with some holiday light strings of 100 or more, it was not a fun task. So make sure before you purchase your next set of Christmas lights that it says on the box that you don't have to replace a bad bulb to make the whole string of lights work.

Ginebra vs San Miguel QuarterFinals Game2 Part2
GINEBRA TAKES GAME 2, FORGES SUDDEN-DEATH SUNDAY vs. SMB Tubid, Menk-led Kings survive career-high 35-point onslaught from Hontiveros to even series Injury-depleted, bruised and battered. Notwithstanding their terrible state of health, the Barangay Ginebra Kings aren't ready to wave the white flag and walk away silently. Ronald Tubid scored 19 points, including his team's last six markers as Barangay Ginebra recovered in time for 91-88 come-from-behind victory against San Miguel Beer in Game 2 of their KFC PBA Philippine Cup quarterfinal series Friday night at the Cuneta Astrodome. What the Kings accomplished in Game 2 was close to a miracle. They seemed to have already lost the battle when they blew a huge 18-point third quarter lead and trailed the Beermen by three (85-82) with 1:58 remaining. But they displayed remarkable character that only champions possess. The reigning Fiesta Conference titlists never gave up in the face of tremendous odds and were rewarded with another lease on life. "We just survived the series," said Barangay Ginebra coach Jong Uichico, who gave all the credit to his troops. "Who else would you give the credit to?" he asked. "With all the distractions, injuries and all, my players never walked away from the challenges. I just hope we can hold on." The deciding Game 3 is set Sunday also at the Cuneta Astrodome.

English girlband The Saturdays are on a roll, collecting their tenth top 10 hit early this September, with their fourth album "On Your Radar"'s second single, the club tune "All Fired Up", which shook off massive competition from the likes of Leona Lewis and Snow Patrol to land at #3 and selling about 70, 000 copies of the single in its first week, their highest first week sales yet. The Sats announced earlier this year they would embark on their debut headlining arena tour called the "All Fired Up Tour", in which Irish readhead Una Healy would be about 6 months pregnant. However, Una reassured Sats fans that she would remain committed to the band and everything would continue as planned. Helping to celebrate Arthur's Day in Ireland, the girls headed over to perform their string of pop friendly hits. Here, the girls take things back to their second album era with their #2 peaking single "Forever Is Over" and an interview with T4's Rick Edwards afterwards. Enjoy!

Types of Outdoor Christmas Lights Checklist
So you have decided to put on the best Christmas outdoor lighting display on the block this year. You have started a plan, measure the places the lights are to go. The next important step is to decide what types of lights to use.
Here is a checklist
- C7bulbs 2 inch long, large, bright, visible, traditional, and easy to change. Their big advantage is that when one light fails the rest of the string stays alight. This style of light comes with a number of different sockets on a string, which makes it easy to determine how long a string you need to fit the space for the lights. These lights can also be purchased with the cord separate to the bulbs, enabling you to choose the lighting effect required. They can be expensive to run with high power consumption, unless you choose the C7 bulb shape fitted with LED's. A twinkle style is also available for this type of string (this is where every say 6th bulb will turn on and off giving a twinkling impression).
- C9 bulbs 3 inch long with the same comments and advantages as the C7, only with a larger bulb and thus larger light source.
- Mini-Lights- These are the smaller lights traditionally using small incandescent bulbs, but many now come with LED's for outdoor Christmas tree lights. The major problems with this type of light string is that when a bulb fails it takes out a section or the entire string, making it difficult and time consuming to find the dead bulb and replace it. The cords come in white, green or brown to match the background you wish to put them against. Mini lights are great in that, the sets can be easily connected together or connected to a controller that will turn them on and off to music, or a programmed flashing display. There are many different color options for fairy lights from clear and white through to almost any color you can think of.
- LED lights are available in both the traditional C7 and C9 styles and also in mini or fairy lights. Led have the advantage of being low on power consumption and cool to the touch, much safer with children around. LED lights also last a very long time and are sturdier than incandescent bulbs, avoiding the need for bulb replacement. Mini Lights are the most common form of outdoor LED Christmas lights about, although more types are arriving each year as technology and cost improves. The most amazing LED lights are the color changing ones, generally in blue/green shades or red/orange shades where the lights gradually change through a number of colors. A very cool effect.
- Solar Lights- solar outdoor Christmas lights are becoming more and more common. They are good for places where it is hard to get power to. They are usually LED lights, charged up by the sun during the day and alight at night. In places where there is not much sun during the day they are unlikely to get charged up sufficiently.
- Net Lights - these are great for bushes and shrubs, the lights are connected together in a grid arrangement, making it easy to just drape over a plant giving the effect of equally spaced lights effortlessly. Usually LED lights.
- Rope lights - This style has LED lights encased in vinyl cord looking like a rope, hence the name outdoor Christmas rope lights. It makes storage and installation very easy and produces a softer light. These have the advantages of LED lights, without the storage issues of fairy or mini lights. As mini lights this style can also be selected to have different light display patterns such as flashing, twinkle or chaser.
- Animated Lights - These are shapes such as angels, stars, nativity scenes that have LED lights placed around the edge in varying colors to illuminate the shape. There are many different shapes available.
- Shimmering Spheres - These glowing balls and come in several different sizes. The ball consists of 100 or so mini lights connected together to make a ball shape, when illuminated it produces a shimmering effect to add to you Outdoor lighting display.
I hope you find this check list useful to help you find the right type of outdoor Christmas lights for your yard.

Tennis Racquet String Tension - Tips on How to Decide
Tennis racquet string tension is a commonly misunderstood issue but a very important consideration for your racquet. What racquet string tension should I use? Well, when it comes down to it, it really is a matter of personal preference, but here are some guidelines and facts to keep in mind. First, there is generally a tension range that is provided by the tennis racket manufacturer and is usually located on the throat of the tennis racket. If you ever find yourself unsure or struggling to decide what tension, a number smack dab in the middle of the recommended racquet string tension is usually a good one to start with. You can then increase or decrease your string tension until you find something that feels good.
Since all tennis rackets recommend different tensions (they are generally somewhere in the 50 or 60 pound range), there is not one tension that can be recommended. You can only use the following guidelines. Lower tension increase power and higher tensions increase control. With a lower tension, the racket acts almost like a trampoline. The ball hits the racket, the strings quickly form a small pocket (relative to the tennis string tension) and your swing and strings shoot the ball out of the pocket. Obviously, this is a little over exaggerated, but it is a metaphor to how the strings respond with a lower tension. This all results in a little less control.
Racquet string tension that is on the high side causes the racquet to act more like a board or "brick wall". This tight racket string tension causes the ball to flatten out more, which allows the strings to have a better bite on the ball. This, in essence, provides more control. Many players prefer tighter strings but it does have a board like feel that you may not like. It is also important to keep in mind that racket string tension will feel different with different rackets. Some tennis rackets are flexible while others are stiff. Your current tension may feel very different on a different racket even though they have the same recommended string tension.
Tennis string tension really becomes a matter of personal preference and trial and error. And it starts all over again if you get a new tennis racket. So just remember the basics:
1. Higher string tension means reduced power but more control
2. Lower string means more power but reduced control
Now that I have said all of this, I will throw a kink into the mix. These guidelines really apply to those tennis players who are passed the beginning stage of tennis and are a more intermediate or advanced player. A beginner could be hitting balls all over the place but a higher or tighter racket string tension is not going to help them out with better control. A beginner would most likely benefit from a lower tension because the strings will be more forgiving and help with the number of off center hits that they have. I would suggest that a beginning tennis player stick with the mid-range string tension that is recommend for the tennis racket.

If you want Christmas lights that can be used with ease, not only outdoors, but also indoors, then, Christmas rope lights are what you should opt for. The tubing provided in these lights is the reason for their flexibility and versatility. There is no dearth to the amount of decorations you can do with the help of these that come in a variety of sizes and colors.
Idea #1: Accentuate the windows and roofs
Opt for Christmas rope lights if you are on the lookout for good alternatives to string lights. As compared to vintage Christmas lighting, these can be laid straighter. They come equipped with special clips that help hold them in place when you use them to accentuate the roofing of your house and the windows. You can also use them in conjunction with string lights for a better effect.
Idea #2: Create Christmas shapes
The best part about Christmas rope lights is that they are neither too tough nor too soft. The tubing of the light is such that you can mold them into shapes of your choice. If you want to create an outline of the Christmas tree in your yard, then, you can consider using these Christmas rope lights. You can also use them in varying colors to create candy canes, bells, stockings, trees and stars. The mounting clips available in the market today can be used to hang the various shapes created by these lights outdoors.
Idea #3: Accentuating the various Christmas art pieces
Have you created a snowman in the yard? Do you have a replica of the snowflake in the garden? You can highlight these art pieces by accentuating those using Christmas rope lights. If you want to create an outline of the hedges and fence surrounding your house, there can be no better alternative to these lights. Christmas rope lights, in combination with string lights in green and red colors, can be used to highlight the driveway to your house and even the sidewalks.
Idea #4: Decoration Indoors
If you thought Christmas rope lights could weave their magic only outdoors, then, you are in for a surprise! These lights are great options for indoor decorations. If you want to decorate the doorway of your room or the children's room in a unique way, then, use them alongside string lights. You can also decorate the railings of the staircase, mantels and other indoor artifacts using Christmas rope lights.

Tennis Racquet String Tension - Tips on How to Decide
Tennis racquet string tension is a commonly misunderstood issue but a very important consideration for your racquet. What racquet string tension should I use? Well, when it comes down to it, it really is a matter of personal preference, but here are some guidelines and facts to keep in mind. First, there is generally a tension range that is provided by the tennis racket manufacturer and is usually located on the throat of the tennis racket. If you ever find yourself unsure or struggling to decide what tension, a number smack dab in the middle of the recommended racquet string tension is usually a good one to start with. You can then increase or decrease your string tension until you find something that feels good.
Since all tennis rackets recommend different tensions (they are generally somewhere in the 50 or 60 pound range), there is not one tension that can be recommended. You can only use the following guidelines. Lower tension increase power and higher tensions increase control. With a lower tension, the racket acts almost like a trampoline. The ball hits the racket, the strings quickly form a small pocket (relative to the tennis string tension) and your swing and strings shoot the ball out of the pocket. Obviously, this is a little over exaggerated, but it is a metaphor to how the strings respond with a lower tension. This all results in a little less control.
Racquet string tension that is on the high side causes the racquet to act more like a board or "brick wall". This tight racket string tension causes the ball to flatten out more, which allows the strings to have a better bite on the ball. This, in essence, provides more control. Many players prefer tighter strings but it does have a board like feel that you may not like. It is also important to keep in mind that racket string tension will feel different with different rackets. Some tennis rackets are flexible while others are stiff. Your current tension may feel very different on a different racket even though they have the same recommended string tension.
Tennis string tension really becomes a matter of personal preference and trial and error. And it starts all over again if you get a new tennis racket. So just remember the basics:
1. Higher string tension means reduced power but more control
2. Lower string means more power but reduced control
Now that I have said all of this, I will throw a kink into the mix. These guidelines really apply to those tennis players who are passed the beginning stage of tennis and are a more intermediate or advanced player.

Who Invented Christmas Lights?
Soon after Thomas Edison developed the light bulb that could be used for commercial use, the idea of Christmas tree lights was one of the first applications. Before the discovery of electricity candles were used as Christmas lights. The dangers of this were of major concern at the times.
As time evolved the candles had glass covers, or metal lanterns with small wicks and were hung on the trees like ornaments on Christmas trees. Think about doing that in this day and age: a recipe for a burning house.
Even with the dangers it took many years for holiday tree lights to become commercially available. It's said that the idea of these lights came from Edison's assistant, Edward Johnson: he had the bulbs made specially for his house and he displayed them his Christmas tree lights at his home on New York City.
From these humble beginnings the Christmas tree lights went through many changes before General Electric introduced them commercially. The early days of lights on Christmas trees was night lights strung together to make long stings of lights. You may have seen these in some old pictures. Those large bulbs that would shatter into a million pieces when they hit the floor.
Christmas mini lights were introduced in the mid to late 1970's. There have been many changes to the original Christmas lights but for the most part they are the same. Sales have climbed as application for these lights have changed to not just decorating the tree but also used as outdoor Christmas lights. Icicle lights are the most popular and are seen on most homes that use outdoor lighting at Christmas time. Outdoor decorative lighting has become one of the most popular types and can become somewhat of a competition among neighbors. Many people will use animated Christmas lights that can create a spectacular scene and some are even animated.
Many of the lights used now are led lights. They are long lasting and if one light goes out the whole string will still work, not like the old days, if one light was out you had to go through one by one to figure out the bad bulb. And with some holiday light strings of 100 or more, it was not a fun task. So make sure before you purchase your next set of Christmas lights that it says on the box that you don't have to replace a bad bulb to make the whole string of lights work.

How to String Lights on an Outdoor Tree
No matter if you about to string lights on an outdoor tree as a Christmas decoration or as a year round decoration, there are a few things that you may want to know that will make the task much easier. First, string lights on an outdoor tree is not just a Christmas decoration. Many shopping centers, hotels and other businesses use clear string lights on outdoor trees throughout the entire year. Many homeowners are doing the same because the string lights on outdoor trees provide peaceful and soothing lighting while adding beauty to their landscape.
Before you rush to the store to purchase of these lights for your outdoor tree, there is a couple of things that you should do first that will possibly save you time later on. First, you will obviously want to decide which tree or trees that you plan on decorating with the string lights. Because they require electricity, you should locate the nearest power outlet and determine the length of the extension cord that you will need. Next, using any type of string, wrap the string around the tree where you would like the lights to go. Then measure the string to determine the length of light that you will need for your outdoor tree. Doing those two things add very little time to your project, but it may save you an extra trip or two to the store later on. Besides using a ladder, a PVC pipe can make adding the lights to an outdoor tree much, much easier. Depending on the height of the tree, pick up a suitable length of PVC pipe that will reach the top of the tree. Normally a 10 foot PVC pipe is around 2 dollars. You will need to add a simple hook to one end of the PVC pipe. A clothes hanger or any heavy duty wire will work. Once you have your list complete, shopping for the lights on string will be easy because there will be no guessing work on what lengths to buy.
Now that you have everything that you need, you should be ready to add the lights on your outdoor tree. Before you add any lights, you should plug them in first to make sure that they all work. Once you are ready, start at the top of the tree. You can either use a ladder or the PVC pipe to reach the top of the tree. Then as you work your way down, you will want to circle the lights around the outdoor tree. The space between each row of string lights does not have to be perfect. Once the lights are wrapped all the way down your outdoor tree, you will want to tuck the string lights into the tree, just a little bit. If you live in a windy area, you may need to secure the string lights with small pieces of wire. Once it gets dark, it will be easier to make the necessary adjustments. The end result will be beautiful string lights on an outdoor tree that provide a soothing lighting effect to your yard.

David Bowie - Starman
David Bowie - Starman Copyright - RCA Victor "Starman" is a single by David Bowie, released in April 1972. The song was a late addition to The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, included at the insistence of RCA's Dennis Katz, who heard a demo and loved the track, believing it would make a great single.[1] It replaced the Chuck Berry cover "Round and Round" on the album.[ The lyrics describe Ziggy Stardust bringing a message of hope to Earth's youth through the radio, salvation by an alien 'Starman'. The story is told from the point of view of one of the youths who hears Ziggy. According to Bowie himself, speaking to William S. Burroughs for Rolling Stone magazine in 1973, Ziggy Stardust is not the Starman but merely his earthly messenger -- contrary to received opinion which often paints Ziggy as an extraterrestrial.[2] The song has inspired interpretations ranging from an allusion to the Second Coming of Christ,[3] to an accurate prediction of the plot for the film Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977).[4] The music is in a gentle pop rock vein, featuring prominent acoustic guitar and a string arrangement by Mick Ronson, not dissimilar to the style of Bowie's previous album Hunky Dory (1971). The chorus is loosely based on Judy Garland's song "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" from the film The Wizard of Oz. Other influences cited for the track are the T. Rex songs "Telegram Sam" and "Hot Love" (the "boogie" references and "la la la" chorus) and ...

Stringing Outdoor Tree Lights
Ask anyone if they recognize what tree lights are and you will probably get one of many replies. Alright, that's not reliable. You will in all probability generate one reply out of numerous possibilities. Most people exclusively think about tree lights as something to set up at Christmas, only outside tree lights really cover a lot different outdoor landscape lighting methods that makes the best of both a trees raw beauty and convenience.
Having already brought up Christmas tree lights, we may as well talk about that concept a little. An obvious annotation is that threading lights in a tree is not something confined to Christmas. If you have reveled dining or patronizing in an elegant plaza, you may have had the joy of encountering beautiful white lights strung up into trees. A hotel adjacent my residence keeps lights in trees on their charmingly landscaped property all year-round.
Assuming the use of white lights, the result is peaceful and calming. Colored lights arouse more whimsical or festive modes. For home landscaping endeavors, I am a proponent of class and nuance and would completely recommend using small white lights. Choosing for colors will work okay for the holidays but results in an unquestionably circus-like sentiment the rest of the year. But, if your objective is a tropical beach-bar setting, you could be capable to get by with it.
In addition to fancying a quieter expression, it is also crucial to acknowledge that there's a smidgen of an art demanded in threading lights into trees. It is one of those things where a surplus balance isn't a valuable matter. Failing to acquaint a little of haphazardness into your stringing exertions and you end up with a disturbingly hokey look. The design gets excessively apparent and takes away from the results. Ever notice how rare straight lines are in trees? Overly fewer lights will compound things as well, making it obvious that they're on a strand. If you don't twine an attractive Christmas tree but one time a year, you are in all likelihood going to scramble getting it right in your yard too.
That's not to say that intended artificiality is always an atrocious matter. A lot of master landscape lighting installers will, at a customer asking, attempt a few pretty unusual things out. Their experience admits them to pull off what just about of us would only botch up awfully. I may be a little old fashioned, but I will forever choose the "natural" (there's actually nothing natural about thousands of lights in a tree but you get my implying) feeling that appears to imitate a thousand lighting bugs in the branches.
Stringing along outside tree lights into your trees differs from other outdoor tree lighting processes in two basic ways; it is easily the most time intense and hard to carry out and it is the most thwarting to keep up. Trees are barely motionless things. They develop, they have leaves, they drop leaves, and their branches break off. All of that can conduce to alterations and troubles in your lighting. Tackle this trend of outside tree lighting by yourself only when you're prepared to commit to the challenge of sustaining your undertaking regularly and if you've fairly small trees. Otherwise, hire the professionals.
As much as I relish outside string lights in trees, this technique is not what I genuinely dream up when I think of outdoor tree lights. With string lights, the lights are the additional focal point; other than the tree. They may show some of a tree's frame or anatomical structure, but the lights are in reality the chief attractor. Additional methods in which outdoor tree lights are applied either cause the tree a central focus or use it as an anchor point to shine other objects in the spotlight. Moon lighting makes the best of a tree's inner structure to paint the ground with clouded shadows. Up-lighting shows off the wonderful thing about the tree itself and casts reverberated light to the ground beneath. Or lights possibly mounted up in the tree to down-light other garden characteristics.
Each process warrants its own article and would imbibe this one out longer than designated but the subject matter you are carrying away, I hope, is that you aren't bounded alone to strings for your outside tree lights. Although an absolutely satisfactory process, string lighting trees is labor and care intense. The effects can be meriting the drive, whenever done correctly. But if you have never put in lights like this, be geared up to reconstruct and reset your first go numerous times before you've favorable final result*. If that sounds like a bit much of a challenge, look at alternate landscaping lights or employ masters to spare you the worry.

Advantages of Using LED Lights For Christmas
With the holidays just around the corner, it's time to think about putting up the Christmas lights. Here are some of the many advantages to using LED lights instead of old bulb based lights:
Inexpensive
Compared to traditional light bulbs, LED Christmas lights are usually a little less expensive when you first purchase them. Since LED lights are typically less expensive to manufacture, transport and package, the savings is passed on to the consumer in the up front cost.
More Reliable
When you buy a string of traditional Christmas lights, you know that you will need to go through and check every bulb to make sure it works and won't keep the entire string from lighting up. Many years, you'll need to replace at least a few bulbs before your lights will work. Since LED's are so much more reliable, it's likely that you won't need to endure this process again.
Lasts Longer
LED lights for critical applications such as for roadside lights, car lights or construction lights can last for years and year. However, since Christmas lights are only used once a year, for just a few weeks or just a month, and then only for part of the night, these LED's can last for many Christmases, and it is unlikely you'll need to buy new ones again for quite some time. Also, because LED's are so reliable, you can enjoy great cost savings since you don't need to replace them often, when compared to other types.
Smaller
Incandescent lights, even the smallest ones are several times larger than your typical LED lights. This means less weight and less strain on your back when you are hoisting those on to your tree, roof or walls. Smaller also means that these lights will store easier and take up less room.
Less Energy
By using LED lights, you can get the same or more light while using less energy. LED's are highly energy efficient and therefore you will save on electricity cost.
Brighter
LED lights are brighter and the light is stronger than traditional light bulbs.
Battery Powered
Want to light up your front yard this Christmas? Consider LED Christmas lights that use batteries for their power. This is far safer, easier to set up and less costly than using traditional lights.
Flexibility
LED Christmas lights can be easily dimmed, turned on and off and can change colors more easily than other types.
So, the next time you're considering getting out those bulky old Christmas lights, consider upgrading to LED, they are safer, more energy efficient, cost less over time, brighter, smaller, more flexible, more reliable and last longer. What's not to like?

Patio String Lights - How to Make Your Own Using Tin Cans
Making your own patio string lights can be a great craft for a cottage weekend or even a backyard slumber party campout. You will have to begin by asking friends, family and neighbors to collect and keep their used and emptied tin cans. Once you have received the desired amount of cans (preferably one for every bulb on your string of lights) you will need to clean them thoroughly and remove their paper labels. Now you are able to begin.
Here is what you will need:
1. Your collection of clean, label free cans
2. A few old towels
3. A hammer
4. A sharp nail
5. A pair of metal snips
6. At least one strand of outdoor lights
7. A pair of safety gloves and eye protection
Step One:
Begin by filling your tins with water and placing them in the freezer until frozen solid. Once the tins of water are frozen remove them from the freezer and lay them on the floor in the center of your old towel. Secure your tin by rolling the edges of the towel inward towards your frozen tin. The towel will help to hold your tin in place and will soak up the water as your tin thaws.
Step Two:
Now, put on your gloves and safety glasses. With a white grease pencil draw any design you'd like on your tin can. Remember, the design will be made by punching holes through the tin, so designs made of multiple dots are best. Some of the most common choices when making your own patio string lights are stars and moons since your lanterns will be enjoyed during the evening hours.
Step Three:
Begin placing your nail on your drawn dots and hammering small holes until your design is complete. Once you're finished punching the holes you will need to draw an "X" shape on the bottom of each of your tins. Using your metal snips carefully cut out the lines need to form the "X" and fold the four triangle section back in toward the inside of the tin.
Step Four:
Remove the bulbs from your string lights and place a tin on each socket. Screw each bulb back into their socket, this will be what holds your lantern in place.
Step Five:
Wait until the sun goes down, pour a glass of wine, ice tea or hot cocoa and enjoy the fruits of your labor! You just made your very own tin can patio string lights!

With the holidays just around the corner, it's time to think about putting up the Christmas lights. Here are some of the many advantages to using LED lights instead of old bulb based lights:
Inexpensive
Compared to traditional light bulbs, LED Christmas lights are usually a little less expensive when you first purchase them. Since LED lights are typically less expensive to manufacture, transport and package, the savings is passed on to the consumer in the up front cost.
More Reliable
When you buy a string of traditional Christmas lights, you know that you will need to go through and check every bulb to make sure it works and won't keep the entire string from lighting up. Many years, you'll need to replace at least a few bulbs before your lights will work. Since LED's are so much more reliable, it's likely that you won't need to endure this process again.
Lasts Longer
LED lights for critical applications such as for roadside lights, car lights or construction lights can last for years and year. However, since Christmas lights are only used once a year, for just a few weeks or just a month, and then only for part of the night, these LED's can last for many Christmases, and it is unlikely you'll need to buy new ones again for quite some time. Also, because LED's are so reliable, you can enjoy great cost savings since you don't need to replace them often, when compared to other types.
Smaller
Incandescent lights, even the smallest ones are several times larger than your typical LED lights. This means less weight and less strain on your back when you are hoisting those on to your tree, roof or walls. Smaller also means that these lights will store easier and take up less room.
Less Energy
By using LED lights, you can get the same or more light while using less energy. LED's are highly energy efficient and therefore you will save on electricity cost.
Brighter
LED lights are brighter and the light is stronger than traditional light bulbs.
Battery Powered
Want to light up your front yard this Christmas? Consider LED Christmas lights that use batteries for their power. This is far safer, easier to set up and less costly than using traditional lights.
Flexibility
LED Christmas lights can be easily dimmed, turned on and off and can change colors more easily than other types.
So, the next time you're considering getting out those bulky old Christmas lights, consider upgrading to LED, they are safer, more energy efficient, cost less over time, brighter, smaller, more flexible, more reliable and last longer. What's not to like?

Mini Lights - Understanding the Design and Assembly of the Three Wire Strings of Them
Single strings of twisted 3-wire mini-lights help to decorate parties, special events, and holidays. Trying to understand their 3-wire 120-volt-alternating-current (VAC) assemblages can be difficult without foreknowledge. Actually, it is fairly simple. Here is how they are designed and put together.
Mini-light strings manufactured today.
Several lengths of mini-light strings (from 15-to-150-feet) are available to consumers today, each one holding a different number of clear or colored mini-bulbs. However, recent attempts to standardize the manufacture of these light strings has focused on the making of 50-bulb sets that can either be used alone as one string, or can be pre-assembled into longer 2-to-3-set, 100-to-150-bulb strings. Each completed string whatever its length will have an electrical plug at each end like an extension cord. This standardization appears to be true both for the older tubular incandescent lights (with their filaments sealed within their 3-mm-diameter bulbs) and the newer LED types (having light emitting diodes encased within the bulbs).
Currently, the newer LED strings are more expensive than the incandescent ones, but they use less electricity than the filament types. Still, the manufacturing of the shorter light strings of either kind having less than 50-bulbs is still done, and they can be found in the stores. But, they are not a major part of the current mass production of mini-lights.
Thus, each full-length string of any bulb-number will have a male plug at one end and a female plug at the other end. Also, these plugs are made so the individual strings can be stacked (two or three them plugged piggyback into each other at each end to make the total string longer) without causing electrical failure. The male plug of each string also has two small 3-amp buss fuses within it, one for each of its two main 120-volt wires. Yet these fuses will blow if the stacked strings get too lengthy (beyond 5 strings) or if too much wattage is drawn by them for other reasons.
To illustrate the description of a 3-wire single-string of mini-lights, this article uses a common 100-bulb string, which contains two 50-bulb sets pre-manufactured as one string. Each bulb in the two sets is rated at about 2.5-volts; i.e., 120-volts/50-bulbs = 2.4-volts/bulb. Short sections at each end of this string and at its middle between the two 50-bulb sets will show two wires only, the two power wires. The third wires are for the bulbs themselves.
Mini-light-string design and assemblage.
Basically, two of the wires on any three-wire mini-light string carries the household 120-volts of electricity from one end of the string to the other end similar to the way any extension cord does. The so-called third wire of this string holds all of the mini-bulbs and their sockets in succession (series) a few inches apart. Although the bulbs themselves are in series, this so-called third wire holding the bulbs is connected at each of its ends to each of the two 120-volt wires in parallel.
That is, one end of this bulb wire is connected to the first of the two 120-volt wires at one end of the whole string. The other end is connected to the second 120-volt wire at the other end of the set further down the same string. For a 100-bulb string, a second set of 50-bulbs is connected to the two 120-volt wires the same way further down the string from the first set, where it functions independently from the first set. The finished string can be from 20-to-50-feet long, depending on the spacing between the bulbs.
These connections are hard to see by looking at the finished product because all three wires are twisted to form a tight rope-like string, leaving only the bulbs exposed. Yet, each of these two bulb sets is connected parallel to the 120-voltage wires, which allows them to work independently of each other.
Another advantage of these parallel connections is the electricity itself continues to flow through the main two wires from one-end plug to the other end-plug if one or both bulb-sets fail for any reason. As a result, when a 100-bulb light string begins to show unlit bulbs, these failed bulbs could appear in either one or both sets. For example, one 50-bulb set could have all or only a few of its lights not working, while the second set could show all of its bulbs lit okay because each set operates separately from the other one. Since the electricity is still flowing through the two power wires in the latter example (i.e., several lights are still working), then some of the bulbs in the failing set need to be replaced.
