CHRISTMAS LIGHTS PHOTOS

CHRISTMAS LIGHTS --Normally put up in DECEMBER and taken down in JANUARY .You can get indoor ones and outside ones.

INDOOR TYPE

You can get these in Mains versions or low voltage types with colour and clear bulbs types.

You used to buy 12 lights sets with 20v bulbs in series with each other in the set ,then 20 lights sets with small 12v bulbs.

During the years you can by a lot of different types of sets.

OUTDOOR TYPE

You can get these in Mains versions or low voltage types with colour and clear bulbs types . These lights sets last for some years ,then the town buy some more new sets of CHRISTMAS LIGHTS to replace the old ones.

Years ago some towns supplied their  CHRISTMAS LIGHTS electricity from different shops,etc in the town . Now days they supply them from the mains ( from Streetlights ,etc.). The towns put in timeswitches in control boxes which feeds the CHRISTMAS LIGHTS .

Years ago some other towns supplied their  CHRISTMAS LIGHTS direct from the streetlights circuits.  When the streetlights switch on and off the CHRISTMAS LIGHTS do the same . Sometimes when one of the CHRISTMAS LIGHT bulb fails ,its takes out the main fuse for the streetlight and for the CHRISTMAS LIGHTS. Sometimes you see allot of lights not working along the roads . These towns now have put in control boxes next to the streetlights posts and walls .  In these control boxes there are fuses,timeswitches .They also installed outdoor sockets on to the walls of buildings and the top of streetlights posts . Every year they just connect the CHRISTMAS LIGHTS to these sockets . With these CHRISTMAS LIGHTS if 1 bulb fails now and take out the fuse , it does not effect the streetlights and switch them off as well. Nowdays the CHRISTMAS LIGHTS switch off at night at a set time .

Some towns they switch the lights on at 11AM in the morning and switch them of at 11PM at night . Nowdays when the Councils redo the town /city centres they put in circuits for CHRISTMAS LIGHTS as well.

The modern trend for CHRISTMAS LIGHTS is to use clear bulbs and clear bulbs are cheaper than coloured bulbs. They have started to use rope lights now .

With the clear bulbs it reminds me of building site lights and I prefer COLOURED BULBS.

There are some photos of outside CHRISTMAS LIGHTS on these towns pages.
