• Greet your guests with the festive spirit by
  adding lights to your outdoors. In addition,
  outdoor lighting lets you take advantage of your
  exterior spaces after dark and adds value to your
  home. That said, choosing the right lights for
  your house can be a challenge at this time of
  year.
• Vernon Daniel Associates offers a variety of
  residential exterior lighting for a truly magical
  holiday season. In this post, we list four
  outdoor lighting tips to transform your yard into
  an amazing paradise with all kinds of lights.

• 1. Get the Right Lighting
• String lights remain a popular choice, but it
  pays to know exactly what you want before heading
  to the store. LED lights are pricier than
  incandescent bulbs, but can last longer. These
  also tend to have more lights per string, which
  offsets any loss in brightness.
• Consider also the size of the bulbs. Large C7 or
  C9 bulbs make a better match for a big bushy
  tree, than strands of mini bulbs, which can
  appear too small among the branches.

• 2. Choose the Lighting Color
• Decide what mood you want to create with your
  lighting display. Clear lights stand out in most
  landscapes, while colored lights add an eccentric
  touch. You also need to be mindful of the color
  of the cord when selecting your holiday lighting.
  Use green for bushes, wreaths, and garlands
  brown for grapevine accents and white for the
  gutters. Apply this rule to the extension cords
  as well.

• 3. Check the Power Wattage
• When it comes to outdoor holiday décor, you can
  never have too many lights. Nevertheless, you
  should also always check your power wattage, to
  keep in line with safety measures. In addition,
  it will help you prepare for the potential rise
  in your utility bills.

  your roof but do not have much roofing
