Lights, Lights, and More Lights

Snowflake lights outdoor come with various power hook-ups and most all of them allow multiple lights to be “chained” together. The power connectors are end-to-end allowing you to plug another light directly into the back of the plug.

Holiday lights have small-gauge wires, though, so make sure you don’t overload your lights by connecting too many stands. The directions that come with your light should tell you how many strands you can chain together.

Many snowflake lights have display modes like ‘all-blinking’, ‘shimmering’, ‘random blinking’, or ‘solid’. Check descriptions and reviews to determine if the light you are considering has this feature and how well it works.

Snowflake Lights Outdoors, Snowflake Lights Indoors

Most Snowflake lights are indoor/outdoor and generally, come with some form of mounting hardware. Suction cups can be used to mount your lights to smooth surfaces like a glass doors or windows. Hanging cords and hooks are great for mounting on trees, walls, and roof edges. Check the descriptions to see what your light comes with.

Prices and budgets vary – you have to consider quality vs. cost. Bright is great but too bright may make the light look like a blob rather than a snowflake. Plastic may be inexpensive, but metal will last longer.

Don’t forget to read the customer reviews for a product — it could tell you exactly what you need to know to brighten your holiday!
