May 9, 2008, Newsletter Issue #57: Icicle Lights

Tip of the Week

If you are like a lot of people, you may look at icicle lights and say, "Wow!  Those are beautiful lights!"  Icicle lights are becoming increasingly popular throughout the country and really do add a special touch to your home at Christmas. 

Icicle lights are for indoor or outdoor use and are the type of lights that have a main cord in which strings of lights hang down from, called tail cords.  Icicle lights usually are six feet in length and can have up to six sets connected together at a time. They hang from your roof in a lovely fashion and come in a variety of colors from clear, blue, red and multi-colors.  You can purchase icicle lights that twinkle or don't twinkle and you can expect the average icicle bulb to last 2,500 hours and cost about $17 for a strand.
