Be faithful when constructing outdoor Christmas lighting displays. Remember you are working with electricity and the elements. Use heavy 18 or 20 gauge wire that is covered with thick (Spt2 is thicker than Spt1) insulation. A good rule is to never plug in more than 1400 watts per electrical circuit. C7 and C9 bulbs, those old-fashioned bulbs that are a bit bigger than mini-lites are typically 5, 7, or 10 watts each. Strings of 100 mini-lites are approximately 50 watts.
For protection only use lights with the 'Underwriters Laboratories' label. Make sure you study your electrical needs and costs before you get started on a huge Christmas outdoor lighting display. Here is a naturally equation to use to outline out your electrical requirements: Total watts, divided by 120 volts equals the amps you'll need to power your lights.
Test your lights and replace broken bulbs before installing. Electrical tape can be an alternative to nailing or hooking lighting decor onto structures. Use tree clips or twist ties to attach lights to tree and shrub branches. Avoid aluminum gutters and other metallic features on your house and property.

When you go back indoors, you'll be able to enjoy the results of your hard work for weeks to come as well as feel gratified to know that your Outdoor Christmas decorations bring joy to your friends and neighbors.
