The festive season is a happy time, and everyone wants to express their joy by decorating the exterior of their home with lights. When you have gutters around your roof, it often gets tricky maintaining and decorating around it. While some people choose to stick the Christmas Lights on Gutters using duct tape, we have better and more effective solutions to lighten up the exterior of your house.
Measurements
It’s essential to measure the circumference of your roof to ensure you have sufficient lighting. Running to the store to get extra lights at the last minute not only stresses you out, but there is also a risk of price inflation or running out of stock. This will leave you with incomplete decoration around the house. Make sure you measure the circumference of your roof and always purchase an inch or two extra so you can tuck them in rather than have exposed corners.
Calculate the Light Wattage
While some people prefer extremely bright lights at the top of their roof, others opt for something more subtle, allowing their front yard to stand out. Take your time to select the wattage you’re interested in and the brightness the lights will deliver.
Bulb Shape
Make sure to check the shape of the bulbs you plan to use. It makes sense to opt for larger bulbs when targeting higher areas, such as your roof. This is because they have an individuality, even from a distance.
Get Light Clips
If you are wondering how to secure or fix Christmas Lights to your gutters, you need to get your hands on invisible and easy-to-place light clips. They are available in multiple colors, so try to choose one that matches the color of the wire.
