Many of us are familiar with festoon lights - strings lights used around the holidays. These simple tools illuminate outdoor venues, like circuses, and bistro patios and gatherings inside tents. They are surely low cost, and practical. Strings lights came to imagination as permanent lighting effects for the screened veranda in the house we were constructing. They would be a good fit with this relaxed, industrial style house. String lights are typically not the same thing as low voltage cable light bulbs, which are not designed for outdoors, and can be more pricey than ten times as much. String lights are simple to install: While doing the electrical wiring phase, three outlets were being installed high on the wall at intervals across room or space. The outlets were connected to a switch, so the light bulbs will be turned on quickly. During the finishing phase, common wire was connected to eye screws in the wall structure. At one end, the eye screws were close to the outlets, so that the light string will be plugged in. Three strands of normal gauge wire were linked to the eye screws and drew tight across the area. We initially tried a package of little smaller lights on one of the wires, but did not like the wrapped green electric wire that came with lights. It was too obvious. So we took those back and got three cases of standard bulb Holiday lights. These came with more simple electric wire and bigger bulbs. They were known as C-7's. You can get C-9's if you want bigger bulbs. There are various bulb shapes and sizes from which to choose, all the way up to typical sized bulbs. Each bulb bears a little clip so it can be hung on the cord. We spaced the light bulbs out, and then pulled the strand hard. This brand of light strand can be take off, so there was no excess at the end. When the strand is trim, you will need some black electrician's tape to be able to seal the end. As soon as the light strings are turned on we had a pleasant surprise. The illumination was beautifully diffused all through the room. It was so soft and diffused that it looked as if moonlight. Strings of small lights have a distinct ambiance - they remind us of get together and festive moments. It was exciting to re-interpret this particular familiar lighting fashion for daily use. Memories Of Using Exterior Decorative Lighting I can still remember how thrilled we children were when our father would take out the string lights to wind round the Christmas tree. We used to jump with joy when the switch was turned on because it looked so beautiful and out of this world. The Reason Why LED Bulbs Are Getting So Popular These days the focus is on developing energy efficient devices that are environment friendly. We can no longer afford to play havoc with nature.
