Indoor vs. Outdoor Christmas Lights

As you prepare to decorate for the holiday season, it is important to understand the distinction between outdoor and indoor Christmas lights to increase safety and efficiency at home.

Usually identified on the packaging, most Christmas lights are certified for indoor use, outdoor use or both. Where indoor Christmas lights are designed to not pose a fire hazard when adorning a Christmas tree, outdoor lights are made to withstand the elements in harsh wintery conditions.

Common Types of Indoor and Outdoor Christmas Lights

Get into the holiday spirit with Christmas tree lights and other seasonal lighting options to add a festive flair to your home. Find a variety of Christmas lights at Ace, including:

  • Mini Lights: Perfect for decorating your Christmas tree, look for sets with multi-packs to decorate multiple or extra-large Christmas trees with ease. Mini string lights come in single colors like red or white, or multicolor variations.
  • Icicle LightsThese beautiful hanging lights create an understated holiday tree look. Use these in combination with multi-colored lights to complete your holiday decorations. Look for outdoor-rated icicle lights to hang from your rain gutters to transform your exterior into a winter wonderland.
  • Rope Lights: Rope lights make it easy to decorate mantels, mirrors and illuminate certain decorations, and are a viable option to light up decks, patios and walkways.
  • Net Lights: Place these durable, easy-to-use lights over your outdoor plants and shrubbery to make decorating easy. Consider using twist ties to hold your net lights in place throughout the holiday season.
  • Projector Lights: Use these modern lights to add unique colors and shapes to the front of your house. Find single-color projection lights, LED image displays of holiday themes and laser projections for clear Christmas images to decorate your front yard.
  • Replacement Bulbs: Have extra LED or incandescent bulbs on hand to ensure every lighting display will be functional and each bulb is brightly lit throughout the season.

Are LED Christmas Lights Better Than Incandescent Lights?

When choosing between incandescent Christmas lights and LED lights, you must keep a few things in mind. Incandescent Christmas lights are more affordable than LED lights, making them a budget-friendly alternative come the holiday season.

However, although LED Christmas lights may be pricier up front, they have long-term energy-saving capabilities because they use less power than incandescent lights. What’s more, they are highly durable and longer lasting.

Helpful Tips for Decorating with Christmas Lights

Decorating with Christmas lights can be time-consuming, so making sure you take the necessary steps to do it right can make for a much more enjoyable experience. Follow these helpful tips for decorating with Christmas lights this holiday season:

  • Plan ahead: Plan your decorations ahead of time to ensure you have enough lights to get the job done. Decide where you’ll hang up lights and measure the space to accommodate your plans accordingly.
  • Buy in bulk: Inexpensive Christmas lights purchased in multi-packs are ideal for decorating your entire home for the holiday season.
  • Tangle-free precaution: Use cable ties or spools designed for ribbon or speaker cables to keep your strings of holiday lights organized when they're stored. That way, they'll be tangle-free and ready to put up next year.
  • Practice safety: Use a safe and secure ladder when decorating your tree or hanging Christmas décor indoors or outside. For additional safety, have a spotter to help you as you work.
