What are the best types of Xmas lights to use for a roofline installation?
Personally I like using C9 bulbs, but the C7 and C6 lights will work as well. With the C9 and C7 you have the option of buying the wire and bulbs separately and cutting the strands to fit your roof. This is how we get the lights perfect when we do installations. Many people have bushes, shrubs or hedges around their entryway or in other locations they would like to add some holiday color. The displays I have seen have been all over the board–some people will try to wrap the bush horizontally; others will install the lights in vertical lines on the face of the shrub; and others (like my friend’s dad) seem to have just thrown them on. I’ve never figured out the best approach to this. Do you have any suggestions? The trick here is taking your time. Personally I like to put lights in horizontally, although going from top to bottom will work as well. I would start at the bottom edge and work to the other side. Then you loop back towards where you started. You keep going back and forth unti
