Buying Xmas lights can be quite time consuming and there are many pitfalls which can trip you up. How many times have you bought some lights only to find they are the wrong type or wrong wattage or wrong colour? At Christmas time the shops start becoming overrun and there tend to be large displays full of boxes. It can be difficult to see exactly what you buying and very confusing too. Make a plan and make a list of exactly what you need. Are you going to be hanging lights up outside, or will they just be used inside? Do you want them to flash or be intermittent or are you just looking for a continuous glow? How big is the area you would like to light up? These are the sorts of questions you need to ask yourself before buy anything. Outdoor lights are designed to stand up to the wind and rain well unlike indoor type that are prone to smashing and breaking. Measure up the area you want to light up and make a note of this to take to the shop. Trying to remember numbers can be difficult and confusing too! Make sure you have the appropriate amount of power in the house too. Having too many lights can make the electricity trip every time you put the toaster on which can get very boring!
