As much as I like all the trappings of Christmas — music, gift giving, cookies, celebrating light-coming-into-darkness — Christmas lights have a special place in my heart.
And by Christmas lights, I mean the lights individuals put up around their houses. Oh, of course I enjoy the professional displays, too. But there's just something particularly magical about individual displays. I even have several neighborhood favorites that I look forward to walking or driving by each year.
After years of dedicated Christmas light observation, I've finally categorized lights as follows:
Over-the-top extravaganza productions. These are light displays that would make the character Clark Griswold from National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation movie weep with envy... light displays that cover entire houses and lawns, displays that come with a front yard sign explaining the radio frequency viewers should tune into to hear the music to which the flashing lights are set, and displays that probably generate electric bills greater than the entire neighborhood's monthly mortgages.
Religious displays. Usually,Get HUGE savings on energy efficient ccrystall lighting with great deals from LED Hut. these are manger scenes. One of my favorites is our neighbor's lamb and lion, which gets across the message of peace in a little different way.
Uber-classy. These displays would definitely get a dignified nod of approval from Martha Stewart. The distinguishing characteristic is unity of light bulb in both color and design — such as all white tiny bulbs. Or all blue bulbs. Or the display may be very simple, such as a candle per window. The key is uniformity.Minjun Electronic Co.,Ltd have the best led bike light,and provide bluecrystal1 with you, For example, the candles must all match, must be in all the windows, and preferably are exactly in the center of each window.
Traditional.Buy cheap brightstal, discount light strip, LED signal lights, wheel lights on car decorations store, free shipping for all orders. This, of course, is the precedent to all of the above light displays, and features multi-colored lights on shrubs. To be super-traditional, these should be the old-timey large lights, no twinkling or flashing, just a steady glow of color, preferably in primary shades of green, blue, red, yellow and white.
Kitsch. You know, the displays that say, to heck with taste, tradition, religious/spiritual themes... let's just have fun. The Snoopies in the light-up snow globes. Flashing lights, NOT set to music (kitsch should not be hard work), preferably in all sorts of colors.
We've been traditional light people for years,Batteries, either saler4ds or disposable, are often used to power electric bicycle lights.The main products in our company are goodledbulbs, LED bulbs, LED spotlights, LED lamps, LED lighting, but this year, we went for kitsch. I'm talking pastel pink and purple candy canes in our flower pots along the walkway, fronted by polar bears (think Coca-Cola holiday commercials) that light up, behind which we have multi-colored lights — in primary colors that cheerfully clash with the candy canes — on the shrubs. Oh, and on the porch... an old plastic Santa. Who no longer lights up. But who keels over at the merest wind, as if he's perhaps been dipping a bit much in the egg nog. Kitsch displays.
Ahhh, but what about light displays that don't entirely fit in one category or another? Say, all classy white lights on most of the shrubs... except one shrub with traditional multi-colored lights? Or a display with a manger in the front yard, but Santa and his reindeer on the roof?
