Most outdoor Christmas light clips can be used with C7 outdoor light strands, C9 commercial Christmas light sets, rope lights and the most popular icicle miniature lights to enhance your home during the holiday season. The Christmas light clips are usually made of flexible heavy duty plastic. The Christmas light eave and gutter clips are the perfect way to quickly and easily line your roof or fence with lights at Christmas time.

You have seen homes decorated with lights that look like they were just thrown in a line across the yard or roof. To have a professional looking light display and for precise positioning of each bulb, use one light clip per light no matter if they are C7 light sets, C9,outdoor light sets or Miniature lights. This way you have more control when you are placing the lights. If you are hanging your lights by the cords, shingle clips can be spaced 12 to 24 inches apart. It is recommended to place clips 6 inches apart for stabilizing icicle lights. Make sure that you bend the icicle light wires hanging down so they hang straight like a real icicle. There is nothing worse looking than icicle lights that have just been put up with no straitening.

How Many Light Clips Will I Need?

Ten feet of C7, C9 or Miniature lights will use approximately 20 clips. If you are hanging the popular Icicle lights, a 300 light set (25.5 feet) will require approximately 50 clips. Rope lights require Christmas light clips spaced 12 inches apart. Directions for use of the gutter light clips are usually included when you buy your light clips.

Here are the instructions for the most popular light clips.

To precisely position each bulb, detach the C-shaped light holder and attach it to the clip in front of the remaining piece. With a twist and push motion, insert the light socket into the light holder. C7 and C9 lights fit the larger loop; minis will fit in the smaller opening.

For shingle use slide the straight flat end under the shingle, lifting on the top curl to fit over the shingle. Insert light cord or tube securely in clip. Adjust light to desired angle.

For gutter use, holding the straight flat end roll the curled end of the fastener over gutter lip. Then, insert light cord or tube securely in clip. Adjust light to desired angle.

For Vinyl siding, attach the C-shaped light holder onto the curled part as the notch. Insert light and slide into desired position. Then, insert the tip of the flat straight end of the fastener into the horizontal seam of the siding. Lights are held safely away from the siding surface.

For fences and decks the curl will stretch to fit on deck railings and fences. Then, light cords can be slipped in the hook or the C-light holder can be used to hold individual lights.

Take time to plan your outdoor decorations. You should have at least one focal point which will be your major attraction. From the major focal point, tone down the decorations to highlight or picture frame the major display. Your outdoor display does not have to be large or grand. Create a theme and keep your display simple and to the point, then you will cheer up everyone that passes by during the holiday season.

Suddenly she must make the toughest choice of all--and send her daughter back to the very place she swore she would never return to: the place where her marriage ended in heartbreak...her ex-husband's world of southern tradition, memories of betrayal, and the antebellum charm of Charleston. Now, while Alexa's trial builds to a climax in New York, her daughter is settling into southern life, discovering a part of her family history and a father she barely knows--from the ice-cold stepmother who stole him away to a fascinating ancestry and a half-sister and half-brothers she comes to love.
