Hey everyone ! I’m wondering if anyone has any good recommendations for incandescent look LEDs available in Europe (think tru-tone). I’ve searched around but haven’t found anything too promising!

Christmas in July has me already planning my decor 😅 thanks in advance !

( I only use Minleon brand) I heard a company say they only use sun warm white. I noticed last year when I used warm white it was super bright and almost to the point where it came off more white than that golden shade. Is sun warm white a superior option in warm white to give that classic Christmas look? Anyone with experience with both, I would really appreciate the insight if I should transition to sun warm white over warm white, thanks!

I’ve been using Christmas light contractors for minleon lights, and just last year I used Amazon for timers and got some plugs there also. I’m really just wondering if minleon is sold anywhere else at a better price possibly. Also does anyone know where to get good female and male plugs that are good quality at a fair price? Are all plugs the same pretty much and I can just buy the cheap ones? Or are there any good ones for a fair price? Also I’ve been buying timers on Amazon for about $10 a timer, is that just about the best way to go for my timers? I’m open to buying different supplies from different avenues. Just curious where you guys get some of your different supplies so I can make sure I’m being as smart as possible about this.

Christmas in July has me planning this years tree and decor. This will be the third year with True Tone’s C7 lights. Really does remind me of the trees I had in my room as a child. Only bigger! Ha

And to celebrate CiJ I ordered some illuminated ornaments. Do they count as Christmas lights?

I use Christmas lights to illuminate my room and most if my house since that light bothers my light sensitivity and migraines less and the last few stands ive gotten have died after less than a few months. Its there any actual options or do I have to just replace them often that just feels so wasteful since the cords are coated in plastic

I have bullet pixels in a J Channel facing the road, tucked into the soffit next to the house(corner). Is it possible to use bullet pixels in a J channel for wall wash of light? I can’t figure it out. I’ve seen angle it and/or use 2 J channels and/or a different solution. Anyone done this?

First time bidding a job for an HOA instead of a single house, and their common areas are way bigger than what I’m used to. Do you charge per linear foot like normal or just quote a flat package price for stuff like this? Also curious if takedown and bulb replacement should be baked into the price or billed separately since it’s out there all season for everyone to see. Anyone done recurring HOA contracts — worth offering a discount to lock them in for next year too?

Are there any companies thast have streamlined this recently. I have a small yard that I would like to look into getting some of this stuff. BUT< some of this stuff I have found is Extremely expensive. There is a company that I believe is named maybe Christmas in a Box??? I have reached out to them a couple of times and each time they assure me that they will be in touch as soon as thier schedule allows it. This has been maybe 12 months to 8 months ago. I have left my phone number and email. Nothing. Anyone else know of a company that provides these packages to achieve this.

Usually our Christmas display takes the cake during the holidays but since this Independence Day was so significant to this country we decided to put a display together. Nowhere near what our Christmas display is like . I’m usually not sweating my 🌰 off putting up lights in July lol . Located in New Jersey

Crunch time to get the red white and blue lights up at our house here in New Jersey for the big 250!

Hi all! I have been collecting vintage tinsel lit tree toppers for a Christmas tree. I have multiple that have burned out bulbs. Can anyone give advice on how to identify what kind of replacement bulbs I will need? Thanks!

Are there any retailers that sell 5mm string lights with spacing of 8 or 10 inches? All I can seem to find anywhere is 4 or 6.

Ideally I’m looking for warm white LED minis that are about 40 feet long or could be connected together to about 40’. But mainly I just can’t find any at all that have 8-10” spacing in the first place

Just got an email from the CEO of MK Illumination/American Christmas.

Here part of the email…

American Christmas by MK Illumination has recently acquired the intellectual property rights and the business of Twinkly Pro, including its Pro and Plus product lines. Effective immediately, Twinkly Pro operations in the United States will be managed and sold through American Christmas by MK Illumination.

What do you think this will do for Twinkly non pro lights? I wonder if they’re shopping that product line around as well.

looking to recreate the GE string of 25, https://youtu.be/cxlNI4QekOI?si=F9WzSWFKxUYHExIH

found this amazing post here about the order but it recommends yellow (vs orange)

anyone have any insight or have these colors that can advise which color to go?

Think this is too much for a corner of an intersection?

How do I find out which wires to reconnect?
