How To Choose the Right LED Holiday Lights

When it comes to choosing the right LED holiday lights, there are a few things you need to keep in mind.

The first is the size of the light. LED lights come in a variety of sizes, so you need to choose the right one for your project.  If you're lighting an object, something small will work great. But if you're putting up lights along the exterior of your home or around your patio furniture, bigger is better.

The next thing to consider when choosing your LED holiday lights is how bright you want them to be. As a general rule for indoor sets, go with LED lighting kits that have at least 100 lumens. For outdoor sets, choose a kit with at least 1,000 lumens.

How Many LED Holiday Lights Bars Do You Need?

When it comes to how many LED holiday lights bars you need, the answer really depends on the size and shape of your project.  Generally speaking, you'll want to use between 1 and 5 LED light bars for most projects.

However, there are a few things to keep in mind when deciding how many bars to use. For one, you need to make sure that the total wattage of your LED light bars doesn't exceed the maximum wattage of your extension cord.  And secondly, you need to make sure that the total length of your LED light bars doesn't exceed the maximum run length of your extension cord.
