Christmas Lights, LED Christmas Lights, Christmas Tree Lights, Christmas Decorations With Lights


The world glows with a colorful light at one time of the year - Christmas. Everywhere you look, Christmas lights sparkle and brighten every door step, window, and Christmas tree. The red, green, and white glow of Christmas lights not only light up the cold winter landscape, they ignite the Christmas spirit within us all.The tradition of festive lighting for Christmas is a long standing tradition in many Christian countries.The technology used in Christmas lighting displays is highly diverse, ranging from simple light strands, Christmas lights (aka Fairy lights in the UK), through to full blown animated tableaux, involving complex illuminated animatronics and statues.

Christmas lights (also called twinkle lights, holiday lights, and mini lights in the US and fairy lights in the UK), that are strands of electric lights used to decorate homes, public/commercial buildings and Christmas trees during the Christmas season are amongst the most recognized from of Christmas lighting. Christmas lights come in a dazzling array of configurations and colors. The small "midget" bulbs commonly known as fairy lights are also called Italian lights in some parts of the U.S., such as Chicago.

The types of lamps used in Christmas lighting also vary considerably, reflecting the diversity of modern lighting technology in general. Common lamp types are incandescent light bulbs and now light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Less common are neon lamp sets.
It's hard to imagine Christmas without bright, twinkling lights. Every December parents bundle their little ones into the car just to drive around at night to look at the glow and twinkle of color sparkling through the trees and reflecting off the snow. City parks are often filled with dazzling displays of Christmas lights in the trees and full-sized glowing reindeer and snowmen. Although red, white, and green remain traditional favorites, Christmas lights are available in every shade of the rainbow. Blue lights are becoming quite popular for the soft, icy blue glow they cast.
