One of the defining features of a suburban American neighborhood during the winter holidays is the appearance of outdoor Christmas lights. In many areas, it seems as if every house for miles has strings of flashing, blinking and twinkling lights hanging from the eves or stretched across the rooftop. Some displays are simple, consisting of only a few strings of colored lights, or maybe just one string of icicle lights in the front of the house. Other displays are more ambitious, consisting of tens of thousands of lights of every conceivable color, blinking in coordinated rhythms that produce the illusion of moving pictures.
Outdoor Christmas lights must be weatherproof, able to withstand a wide variety of natural conditions. Rain, snow, wind and hail are just some of the events outdoor lights must endure. In very hot, Southern areas, direct sunshine is also a consideration. The Christmas lights must be immune to all of these things.
Outdoor Christmas Lights for Every House
Many people are now also decorating the natural trees in their yards with clear or blue lights. The use of colored outdoor Christmas lights hasn't quite become mainstream on domestic trees yet. Lights may even be wrapped around the posts of mailboxes. As an added touch to these ambitious displays, some homeowners are using background music or robotic characters in their yards to create a virtual winter wonderland.
