Parsley Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Well, switched to all LED's last year including roughly 10 strings of icicle lights for the roof, but after getting new shingles and gutters this summer I didn't feel like potentially wrecking anything new therefore no roof lights this year. Probably will go back to them next year. Anyway, here's the rest with roughly a 2" snowpack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes it look 100x better. lol, i have no clue i don't handle that aspect. Next year i will know though. uh oh..............nah, it's worth it no matter what.

I am using them on my house this year (used them for years at my parents house) and they work well and really do not mark up the surfaces. This season is a first for me with LED lights.

Yeah, the clips work well and don't cause damage. This is the first season for LED with me too. My daughter is three this year, and is really into Christmas, so we decided to go with all color lights after years of all clear lighting. Putting it all up on Friday...

Cold Rain Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Good topic! You can find plastic clips to put on your shingles/gutters very cheap at Wal Mart, and they'll work very nicely. I've got a few LED lights, and I have to say that although I still like the incandescent light rendering better, the LEDs are certainly starting to grow on me. Usually, this far south, Christmas lights and snow don't often coincide, although they did a couple of years ago. If it happens again, I'll post a pic here.

Showed off the lights to my 2 1/2 year old last week, she says "need more color", Seriously!! Luckily the tree inside will be multi colored. Outside is cool white/blue theme.

I was not completely sold on the LED lights but since I have them on now, they are not bad. By the way, nice quote in your signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fsu_wxgirl Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Don't have many lights up since we just moved in and didn't have lights to begin with. I have 2 more strands that I just bought that I need to add to the tree. My husband has promised me that we will go all Griswold one year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugarloaf1989 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I just started our decorating on sunday and it was a bit of a rush to get some of it done prior to the snow we got on tuesday night. I am about 50% finished as I still have 5 frame deer, 4 airblown's, a few more plastic figures and about 1000 more lights to put up.

But i dont know if i could get them in sync. I know they sell those outlets that has like 6 outlets on it and it does it to music. The pronblem is i would need 4 of them and i dont know if they would all be synchronized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
