At 1000Bulbs, we have everything you need to light up your home inside and out for the holidays. Our extensive selection of Christmas lights ranges from classic incandescent bulbs to cutting-edge LED options, offering you the versatility to create any festive display. Whether decorating your Christmas tree, trimming your roofline, or lighting up your garden, you’ll find lights in every style, color, and length.

Types of Christmas Lights

Incandescent Christmas Lights

For a nostalgic glow, incandescent Christmas lights offer the classic warmth many associate with the holidays. Available in various colors and styles, they’re ideal for both indoor and outdoor use and add a cozy ambiance. However, they consume more energy and don’t last as long as modern options.

LED Christmas Lights

LED Christmas lights are energy-efficient, lasting far longer than incandescent bulbs while using up to 80% less energy. Available in various colors and styles, they’re great for indoor and outdoor settings. Plus, LEDs stay cool, making them safer for homes with kids or pets.

Icicle Lights

Icicle lights create a wintery effect, hanging vertically to mimic natural icicles. Perfect for rooflines, windows, and fences, they’re available in various colors and twinkling options. Weatherproof and durable, icicle lights are designed for harsh outdoor conditions.

Net Lights

Net lights make decorating shrubs, trees, and fences easy. Pre-arranged in grids, they offer uniform coverage with minimal effort, giving your display a polished, professional look. They are available in incandescent and LED versions, with color choices to suit any style.

String Lights

String lights are versatile and perfect for wrapping around trees, staircases, or outdoor railings. Choose from traditional incandescent for a warm glow or energy-efficient LEDs. These timeless lights work well for both indoor and outdoor displays.

Mini and Micro Lights

Mini and microlights add subtle, detailed lighting to your décor. Mini lights offer a twinkling effect on trees and garlands, while microlights are ideal for intricate spaces. They're often battery-operated and great for lighting small areas like centerpieces or windows.

Specialty Christmas Lights

For a bold statement, consider C7 and C9 bulbs. Their larger size and vintage charm make them stand out on roofs, fences, and large trees. We also offer battery-operated and twinkling lights for dynamic, convenient decorating where outlets are hard to reach.

Christmas Lights for Every Application

When choosing the right Christmas lights, it’s essential to consider where you’ll be using them.

• Indoor Christmas Lights: Our indoor lights are designed to bring warmth and festivity to your Christmas tree, mantels, staircases, and more. Incandescent and LED string lights are famous for creating a cozy, inviting atmosphere inside your home.
• Outdoor Christmas Lights: Choose lights built to withstand the elements for exterior decorations. Our outdoor-rated lights are weatherproof, shining brightly through rain, snow, and wind. Icicle, net, and large-bulb C7 and C9 string lights are particularly well-suited for outdoor use, offering both durability and visual impact.

How to Choose the Right Christmas Lights

When selecting Christmas lights, here are a few factors to keep in mind:

• Energy Efficiency: LED lights are the most energy-efficient option, helping you reduce energy consumption while maintaining a bright, beautiful display. They also have a much longer lifespan than incandescent bulbs.
• Brightness and Color Options: Whether you prefer the warm glow of incandescent lights or the bright, crisp look of LEDs, we offer a wide range of colors, from warm white and cool white to vibrant multicolors. Consider matching the color of your lights to the overall theme of your holiday decorations.
• Length and Quantity: Measure your tree, roofline, or outdoor space to determine the number of lights needed. A good rule of thumb for Christmas trees is 100 lights per foot of tree height. Plan for enough lights for outdoor decorations to cover rooflines, fences, and shrubbery for a complete look.
• Weather Resistance: For outdoor displays, choose lights that are weather-resistant and designed for outdoor use. Check the IP (Ingress Protection) rating to ensure they can withstand rain, snow, and wind exposure.

Christmas Light Safety Tips

Decorating with Christmas lights is a fun way to brighten the holidays, but it's essential to follow safety guidelines to prevent accidents:

• Avoid Overloading Circuits: Don't connect too many light strings to one outlet to avoid overheating and potential fire hazards. Always check the manufacturer's recommendations for maximum string connections.
• Use Outdoor-Rated Extension Cords: When setting up outdoor lights, ensure you use extension cords rated for outdoor use and adequately grounded.
• Secure Your Lights Properly: Use light clips and hooks to safely attach lights along your gutters, roofs, or fences. Avoid nails or staples, which can damage wiring and create fire risks.
• Use Timers: Set timers to automatically turn your lights on and off, ensuring they aren’t left on for too long, helping to save energy and prevent overheating.
• Choose the Right Extension Cords: For hard-to-reach areas, use extension cords that are rated for both indoor and outdoor use to ensure safety and convenience.
