Christmas Tree Lights: the big question

[Flex Your Head]

What have you got on yours?

 

[The Grub]

Too early for a tree yet.

But when the weekend comes it will be white flashing.

Poll to follow (as appears to be obligatory on this type of thread)

You've let yourself down there by not editing that last line out, which you do after posting the poll (as the thread appears before you enter your poll options).

Here it is the classic white and twinkling. Not any sort of rapid or rhythmic strobing, just nice and gentle random-ish twinkling.

No idea what you're on about, chief *cough*

I want gentle twinkling but have not been able to find any that don't blink out completely every 15 secs or so, then blink back on.

True story.

Have gone for Silver & Gold dec's this year, therefore White & Yellow (flashing) lights on the tree.

 

[carteater]

Coloured lights, Static.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

For this year only, I've reallocated my flashing white lights from the tree to the street-facing front of my flat, where they are artfully arranged to form the festive message 'Hyypia Out'

 

[Notters]

We've got white, slightly shimmering but static lights with a few blue ones that flash. But generally I would say it has to be white. The white ones look much classier.

 

[Badger]

Static red BALL lights.

Static red BALL lights.

And matching Christmas Tree Lights?

This is something I've heard several times recently, with the additional comment that coloured lights are dated and only appropriate for those with kiddies. Someone also thought there was a class issue, with colour for the workers, and white for the gentry.

Who'd have thought, eh?

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Where's the option for two sets? I have white static led and coloured static.

I considered it, but didn't think anyone would be so daring.

 

[zeemeeuw]

Blue LED with 7 options, static, twinkling, fade in and out and more.

 

[Tom Bombadil]

6ft real tree, white twinking lights, red and gold baubles. With xmas trees you need to go one of two ways, either understated and tasteful as possible or smothered in so much dayglo multicolour shite it's about to collapse.

Too early for a tree yet.

What is WRONG with you?

 

[Lady Whistledown]

What about outdoor lights?

Anybody got neighbours who go absolutely banzai for Christmas lights on their house? I notice the guy in Amberley Drive in Hove has gone to his usual splendidly ridiculous charity effort, but where are the rest of the National Lampoon-style light-fests this year?

Especially within the Brighton/Hove/Mid Sussex/ Crawley areas. Asking for a friend...

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

Bought white static but they appear to be more of a cream type of thing. Flashing is a definate no.

I was just thinking about outdoor lights when reading this thread.
There seems to be more and more houses with outdoor lights in this area, I often wonder if anyone has fallen off a ladder or even a roof when putting up lights.

I refuse to risk my neck putting up outside lights, we have got some indoors and on the Christmas tree.
