How To Put Up Christmas Lights with LED Spotlights
Вставка

- These are red spotlights I got this year - very high quality LED but very expensive. Not worth the extra money in my opinion:

These are the bulbs I got 2 years ago that are half the price and work almost just as well when it comes to brightness and color:
amzn.to/2PbVTi5 (red)
amzn.to/2Sk2msY (green, people say these look “Miami blue-green”))
Wion TImers I use:

These are the C9 lights I have around the roofline:

Jake The Lawn Kid's Christmas Lights video Part 1 2018:
• Christmas Lights At Gr...
Here is my very first “How to put up Christmas Lights” video:
• How To Put Up Christma...
This is where I was first developing the strategy of “Clean.Simple.Classy” Christmas lights. This was the first year I started using LEDs. As you watch the following vids you will see how the strategy progressed.
Here is my 2014 update - rockin’ the Dad jeans for sure:
Part 1: • How To Put Up Christma... (roof line)
Part 2: • How To Put Up Christma... (ground game)
Here is my 2016 version at my little house in St Petersburg:
• Putting Up Christmas L...
I was actually pretty happy with this - but I did not like the way the uplighting in the trees turned ou.
Here is the 2017 putting up Christmas lights version. This is at my new house and was the first time I put up a display here:
Part 1: • How To Put Up C9 Chris... (roofline and palms)
Part 2: • Christmas Lights on Ro... (palms)
Part 3: • Palm Tree Christmas Li... (wrapping the big palm)
I felt like 2017 was too much work for too little reward and the palms didn’t look that great anyway. I also felt like I was choking them. So in 2018 I backed off all that palm tree wrapping and went more for spotlights. I think the 2018 display is much cleaner.

When it's 67 here in Ohio this time of year we wear short sleeves and occasionally shorts!
That like the perfect temperature in Mi
The Oracle 313 it’s the perfect temp anywhere
If it's 60 degrees I'll wear shorts and a t shirt
67 is beach/swimming weather in New England
Philly that’s like summer
House looks baller. You should light it up all year.
Allyn thank you so much for taking the time to post everyone's home in your video. We all work hard on it and I want to say thank you for representing us. Cheers sir and Merry Christmas
I really love the photo montage at the end. There is a very obvious socioeconomic difference across the board in the photos and it really highlights the fact that the community we have here really brings EVERYONE together. Hats off to you and all the other creators in the lawn care community. Keep up the good work
Thanks for putting my picture in!
Lawn and light dominance! Thanks for the other house views. The community is shining strong 💪
She’s a beauty, Clark!
THANKS FOR THE STICKERS !!
Great Christmas music
Lol Those Light's Look More Trailer Park Than Those Flamingos!
For my colored spot lights, I use my regular landscape lights. Hobby Lobby sells colored film for overhead projectors. A pack of multi color runs $6.99. Cut the film to size and viola...colored spot lights. Want darker, add more films.
Is it called “colored film” can’t find it at hobby lobby
Rich Noggin thats wierd. When I saw your question I happened to be in that garage cabinet I keep that folder in and it was at hand. Thats how I could reply so quick!
Your lights make for a very classy display. Thanks for the great slideshow too. There's a house in my area that has what seems to be 35 of those inflatable lawn decorations. At first it's tacky, but the more you look the more impressive and awesome it is. It's all about a theme.
I leave mine on all night the first night too. Thought it was just a bad habit 😎
Looks great. You should be proud of yourself. Merry Christmas.
You’re right about “finding your groove.” I’m on Year 4 of my property and I’m still thinking of how to do my outdoor Christmas decorations differently.
I agree, I'm on my second year, and I know I'll see myself critiquing from year to year. I have enough lights and decorations, but I want to make it better, not necessarily just keep piling on.
Sal S Yeah. Personally I want to get it down to less lights but in key places for a better look.
@@eyeheartsushi2212 I like traditional string lights, not the solid bulb uplighting, that's too Florida for me. But yeah I have a larger house (cheap area, I'm not bragging nor am I rich), 3000 lights is a snap of your finger. I have 12 front windows wrapped in lights which is already 1200 lights plus icicle lights I have are high volume and rack up light numbers quickly
Sal S Whoa that’s definitely a lot of lights. How many hours does it take you to set them up?
My lights are very similar to the lights LCN has on his roofline.
@@eyeheartsushi2212 it takes probably 5 hours of actual work. The problem I have is I have a 30+ foot peaks and only a 24ft ladder. I can reach the gutters with the extension ladder but not the peaks to reach for icicle lights so I need a remedy for next year ( longer ladder). My first year I didn't have icicle lights, and I typically pick up what I need after Christmas for half price. Like I said, it's a work in progress, so I still use those laser projectors. I also do my parents house which is really easy since it's a single story ranch and I can get to their gutters with a 8 foot step ladder
Blue grass rocks, music and turf.
I like your style on the lights. I think I'm going to do the same way (next year when we actually do lights). Family health issues kept me from doing anything before it got too crappy out.
Al, the same lights you use on your gutters would look slick as an edge around your landscape beds. I use ground stakes. Super clean!! Thanks for using my house in the vid! 😎👍
You got those red and green spotlights from home depot looks great man😊👍😊
Those are some nice pictures from the group. This is going to be the best Christmas ever
get'r done. nice mow!
Tasteful and thoughtful display. It turned out nicely! The only exception that I take to the entire video is the fact that 67° is not cold. Maybe for Florida, but overall? Nope. How does a mid-westerner - who is used to the cold - get so spoiled by the Florida weather? ;-)
Awesome to see my house in your video!!
My guy! Looks good my friend. My house is lit up with warm white LED’s. I purchased different color cellophane and change the color of the lights during holidays.
💚u☺️
I always think that homes that do the ‘washing’ of color; with spotlights, are taking the lazy way out. lol You’ve managed to make it a real task that I don’t envy.
We need to find some fantastic hidden deals on lights!
Looks great brother, I wish it was 67 degrees here on LI Ny, when I put my lights up, I always pick the worst day to put them up, grass looks wonderful 👍👍
So cooled! It’s been in the mid 20s all week here in MI.
I and many like us can't pre clip.. have do it as I hang. On the roof tiles the clips go up on the gutters they go down. A Spanish style house differs depending on how the Gable is setup.
I find it funny that there were submissions from nearly all the cities I've ever lived. For those missing, there were submissions for the adjacent cities. Well done Midwest. Well done.
House looks great and proud to see mine featured as the second one in the viewer section.
Merry Christmas!!!!!
Clean and simple, I always remember K.I.S.S. Love your comment about all the Facebook "keyboard" warriors. That is why I left that group, too much negativity and opinionated people on there. They couldn't just tell someone nice job, they always had to nit pick or belittle people to make themselves feel better. They never looked back and thought that they had to start somewhere too and learned from their mistakes.
Just an FYI Menards carries the FEIT bulbs for $6.99 each. They aren't the heavy duty ones like the Red you received with that massive heat sink but they are the same as the Green bulb you got. Next time you're in Indiana, Allyn, you should swing buy and grab some backups. Much cheaper than the $25 you're paying on Amazon.
Looks awesome!
Love all the Christmas lights videos! I want em every year!
Great Video and awesome looking houses. Also thank you for adding my house
I just use mechanical timers. They work like a charm.
You lucky dog!! Quality time with the Timemaster. My Bermuda grass is dormant, so I had to make due with and oil and air filter and spark plug change and blade sharpening.
I like the music.. Thanks for having my place in the line up!!
I did the same thing with my lights; get the lights up kinda where I want them working on them to just after dusk and leave them on all that 1st night, then the next day neaten up the cords and get the timer set
Feit is pricey but worth it when you need quality. I use them indoors for my family room can lights and master shower for dimmable purposes. They get darker and don't buzz when you dim them.
Looks good, Allyn! Now you just need about a foot of snow for a White Christmas! :-)
Well done on the light game, with some super sick submissions! Some great stuff!!
Easy for you with that house but mines is like two times or more taller. Would have to get a HUGE ladder.
To all who made the slideshow at the end they ARE ALL GREAT! Christmas is different for everyone and it doesn't matter if you would use that theme or not it's Christmas guys we are celebrating Jesus's birthday MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!! & HAPPY CHANUKAH
Big inflatable Krampus or pooping elf would make for an awesome lawn game. Christmas flamingos?
I just moved into my house in Sept and just realized we have a mesh over the gutter to keep the leaves out of it. How would u do the clips?
Slip them under the shingles
Everything looks great it is nice and clean and I think people need to remember to what Christmas is really about it's not about the lights or the presentsit's about spending time with loved ones and remembering Jesus
That's a classy look! Nicely done! Also, great job on the montage at the end. Wow!
Lights look great!! However, I think all of us “nuts” need to pitch in and buy you a present for your lawn. A hose reel! I have noticed that the hose does not have a home. 🤣😂🤣😂 just messing with ya! Love being a “Nut” with all the members. I have learned so much!
Looks good allyn. Nice music like it. Keep up the good work
I’d suggest the warm white led spotlights then buy a pack of stage gels. They are guaranteed true color and are interchangeable to other seasons like Halloween.
Fantastic job! Really lights up nicely. Very cool to see all of the other designs as well.
Wow, really cool to see everyones submissions! Great video!
Just moved into our new house. Southeast Kansas just a quick question where should I start on yard this time of year. Thanks
Cold at 61? You have really turned soft since moving south. Lights look great this year.
Why not just install a low voltage landscape LED lighting kit for your white? I did with my Christmas lights where I typically use warm white and it came together very nice and bonus I have awesome landscape lighting all year round now for less than the cost of doing more Christmas light flood lights.
Definitely the Feit light
Love the lights turned out awsome
Looks AWESOME! No pink flamingos?? LOL
Now what pitch is your roof? Mine is a 11/12 pitch and I kept sliding off onto my Bermuda and Centipede my paints! I was told to blow off the roof to rid all the loose particles and then go up.
Do you notice any kind of flickering on the LED lights? I bought some last year and had to take them back because I just couldn't stand it.
Looking good Al, 😁👍👍
Clark Griswold the place up
Nice job brotha. Your lights look awesome! The FIET bulbs look nicer! I would take anything to have 67 degrees here. Below freezing in MD.
I have a 12" Christmas Tree that's powered by one "C" battery, and a wreath for my front door. That's my decorations.
Well you're just jolly😑. I have a 12ft tree with 2250 lights on it. And a 6.5ft tree with another 900 lights on it.
@@italiansal3000 Good luck to you...
Nice
Freaking loved it! Thanks for great vid sir.
Why is it when I put all the clips in the same way and I go from shingles to gutters the lights are all backwards.
I have to pull off all the clips and redo them.
Am I doing something wrong?
As always great job brotha!
I found the green and red fiet that looks like the green one for eight bucks each at ace hard ware
Allyn, can you link the source of your light clips/hooks please?
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
25000 imported Italian twinkle lights
Not a single double-wide?

Dang, almost had it....
Song?
Great public service announcement
I'd rather be in Florida right now mowing.. instead, I spent 4 hours digging out last monday from a blizzard. It was nuts!! Vid's going up on my channel Wednesday or Thursday
florida sucks! humid as fuck
Rob Fern Well *that* part is true.
@@HugDeeznueces ya it is humid..
That's what everyone says...and why this place is over run.
Oh man where's the light up flamingo
I have discovered the convenience of Google and home automation. Instead of dealing with some wierd third party app just buy a Google supported switch and wire a exterior outlet. Program a routine (I say "ok Google, dominate the neighbors") and everything turns on via voice
That WiOn app is the WORST! I ended up returning them and replacing them with DEWENWILS Outdoor WiFi Smart Plug Outlet. The SmartLife app was WAY easier to use.
what is 67 degres in information temperature.. USA use weird measurement
Alex Bosse the first temperature scale used, created by the inventor of the mercury thermometer
My lights always look trashy. Maybe its because i use christmas tree lights instead of lights meant for the outside of my house
You do know that you’re your garage is(was) meant for vehicles🇨🇦🤣🤪😂
Personally your house looks too Florida Christmas for me, it's really nice but not my personal taste. I enjoy multicolored with single color accents. I have multicolored window outlining with blue icicles. I'm only in my second year decorating my own house so I have improvements to make and critique my own work. I already have more lights and decorations than any other house in the HOA but I'm not satisfied with my work yet.
61 degrees and you are complaining? LOL
Zz mini light show 4
The clip looks Chinese made
Inflatables are ugly who agrees?
China, is getting rich with the lights this Christmas. The ending was boring! RIP George W. Bush. 41
the only good thing is this vid is the song
Ewwww leds
alex korn 😂😂😂
Nice
