Christmas lights are available in numerous types; however the most popular are the C9 Christmas lights. These are the lights we remember from our childhood and they are making a huge comeback. These lights can be used both indoors and outdoors. They are available in twenty five or one hundred foot sets with built in or replaceable fuses. The bulbs are filament and glass making them easily breakable.

The C9 bulbs were made to prevent the entire strand from going out should only one bulb burn out. Even if a bulb is removed the other lights will continue to work. The cords are usually white or green and the bulbs are spaced approximately every twelve inches on the cord. They are available in many different colors as well as multi color sets.

These lights have a great feature in that you can alternate the colors to the pattern of your choice. The bulbs are typically transparent or painted and will automatically flash. These have wonderful color selection with the opaque bulbs including light pastel colors. The C9 bulbs are approximately three inches measuring from the tip to the base of the bulb. They have a larger diameter than other bulbs which make the most popular choice for individuals who like to decorate the exterior of the home.

There are normally one hundred and fifty bulbs on each strand and they are normally lit with LED which makes them not only long lasting but very little use of electricity. The LED bulbs will save you a lot of money compared to the older glass bulbs previously used. They also do not get hot making them perfect for live trees indoors or outdoors.

Christmas lights are the main decoration to many homes. Using the C9 lights will allow you to provide a tremendous amount of light in many different beautiful colors while saving you a ton of money off the electric bill. This style of lights will last for many years.

There are additional bulbs included with the set when purchased should you accidentally break a bulb or if one should burn out, but the good thing is if a bulb burns out on the exterior lights it will not cause the rest of the strand to quit working which means you are able to wait till you take them down to change the bulb. They are priced inexpensively and with the amount of bulbs per strand it will not take very many for use on an indoor tree.
