During the snowy Christmas season, when night falls, a bright light is illuminated in the night, adding to the festive and joyful atmosphere. The tradition of decorating Christmas with lights has a long history, dating back to 17th century Germany. At that time, the upper class people began to decorate their Christmas trees with candles in order to make them more beautiful. In those days, candles were an expensive source of light, and decorating the Christmas tree with candles was not only a decorative act, but also a low-key display of wealth.
With the 1882 Edison Electric Light Company vice president Edward Jolson electric light bulbs strung into light strings for Christmas tree decoration, as well as the mass production of Christmas light strings in 1890, the lights in the Christmas decorations become more and more important. Today, Christmas lights have become an integral part of the global festivities, and outdoor Christmas tree lights are one of the most glamorous. With its unique charm, it extends the joyful atmosphere of the festival from indoor to outdoor, and becomes a bright landscape on the streets, alleys and courtyards, attracting people to stop and enjoy, immersed in the joy of the festival.
Bulb type is a key factor not to be overlooked when picking outdoor Christmas tree lights. Ordinary bulbs are affordable, but their disadvantages are more obvious. It has a shorter service life, easy to burn out, and frequent replacement of bulbs is not only troublesome, but also increases the cost of use. Moreover, ordinary light bulbs have high energy consumption, in advocating energy saving and environmental protection today, obviously not the best choice.
LED bulbs have significant advantages. Its long service life, can provide you with long-term stable lighting, reduce the frequency of replacing bulbs. At the same time, LED bulbs have excellent energy-saving performance, compared with ordinary light bulbs, can save you a lot of electricity. They are shock-resistant and not easily damaged by vibration, making them more reliable for use in outdoor environments. In addition, LED bulbs have high luminous efficiency and can emit bright and even light, creating a sparkling effect for the Christmas tree. However, the price of LED bulbs is relatively high, but from the point of view of long-term cost and effect, it is still worthwhile to recognize the cost-effectiveness.
The color and length of the lights play a crucial role in the overall decorative effect of the outdoor Christmas tree. In terms of color, outdoor Christmas tree lights on the market are rich and diverse, common red, yellow, blue, green, white and so on. Red symbolizes enthusiasm and joy, which can add a strong festive atmosphere for the holiday; yellow represents warmth and hope, giving people a warm feeling; blue creates a peaceful and dreamy atmosphere; green echoes the natural color of the Christmas tree and is full of vitality; white is pure and unadulterated, just like the snowflakes in winter, which brings a holy atmosphere to the Christmas night. You can choose according to your personal preference and the atmosphere you want to create.
The length of the lights also needs careful consideration. You need to choose the right length of lights according to the height of the Christmas tree. Generally speaking, for a small tree, such as 1 - 2 meters high, a string of lights of 3 - 5 meters in length is sufficient; for a medium height tree, such as 2 - 3 meters high, a string of lights of 5 - 8 meters is more appropriate; and for a large tree, such as a tree of more than 3 meters, a string of lights of more than 8 meters is required to ensure that it can be sufficiently entangled in the tree, so that it can achieve the desired decorative effect. If the string of lights is too short, it will result in some areas of the tree not being covered by lights, affecting the overall aesthetic; if the string of lights is too long, it may be too densely wound or too much left over, which will make it look messy and disorganized. Therefore, before purchasing, be sure to accurately measure the height of the Christmas tree and choose the right length of string lights according to the actual situation .
Brightness is an important factor that affects the lighting effect and atmosphere creation of outdoor Christmas tree lights. When choosing, you need to determine the appropriate brightness based on the actual scene requirements. High brightness lights can illuminate the surroundings, provide people with a better view, and facilitate the organization of activities under the tree . If you are in a well-lit area, or if you want to create a soft, cozy atmosphere, then lower brightness lights are more appropriate. Low brightness lights can give people a quiet, romantic feeling, let people enjoy the holiday atmosphere at the same time, feel peaceful and comfortable .
Safety issues should not be ignored, in the purchase of outdoor Christmas tree lights, be sure to carefully check the quality of the lights and safety certification mark. Qualified products should have the relevant safety certification, such as UL certification, CE certification. These certification marks represent that the product has undergone rigorous safety testing, in line with relevant safety standards, can effectively reduce the safety risks in the process of use.
Among the many advantages of outdoor Christmas tree lights, the use of LED beads is a highlight. LEDs, or light-emitting diodes, are solid-state semiconductor devices that efficiently convert electrical energy into light. Compared with traditional incandescent bulbs, LED lights have significant energy-saving advantages. Incandescent bulbs in the light-emitting process, most of the electrical energy is converted into heat energy wasted, while the LED lights can be most of the electrical energy directly into light energy. Relevant data show that the energy efficiency of LED lamps can reach 80 - 90lm / W, while the energy efficiency of incandescent lamps is only 10 - 20lm / W, LED lamps can be seen in the energy-saving huge potential. This means that using LED lights as the light source for outdoor Christmas tree lights not only saves you a lot of money on your electricity bill, but also contributes to the cause of environmental protection by reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions.
In addition to energy saving, the lifespan of LED lights is also very impressive. In general, the service life of LED lights can be up to tens of thousands of hours, or even hundreds of thousands of hours. This is because LED lights do not have filaments, glass bubbles and other wear parts, its core is a semiconductor chip, through the current excitation of electrons and holes within the chip compound to emit light. This light-emitting mode makes LED lights in the normal use of the process is not vulnerable to vibration, impact and other factors, thus greatly extending the service life. In contrast, the filament of the traditional incandescent bulb is easy to melt at high temperatures, and its life expectancy is usually only a few thousand hours. Therefore, choosing LED lights as the light source for outdoor Christmas tree lights, you do not need to change the bulbs frequently, which saves time and energy, and reduces maintenance costs.
Outdoor environment is complicated and changeable, rain, dew and other humid factors often exist, so outdoor Christmas tree lights must have good waterproof ability. The waterproof rating is an important indicator of the waterproof performance of the lamps and lanterns, which is usually expressed by the IP (Ingress Protection) code, which consists of two numbers, the first one indicating the dustproof rating and the second one indicating the waterproof rating. For example, IP65 means that the luminaire is fully dustproof and protected from water spray from all directions.
The reason why outdoor Christmas tree lights need to be waterproof is to protect the electronic components inside the lights. If moisture intrudes into the interior of the light fixture, it may lead to problems such as circuit board short-circuiting and corrosion of electronic components, which may damage the light fixture and prevent it from glowing normally. Moreover, in a humid environment, the poor waterproof performance of the lamps and lanterns may also trigger leakage and other security risks, posing a threat to personal safety. Therefore, it is crucial to choose outdoor Christmas tree lights with appropriate waterproof rating, which can ensure that the lamps and lanterns can operate stably in all kinds of weather conditions, add luster to your Christmas decoration, and at the same time safeguard the safety in the process of use .
