Decide On Indoor and Outdoor Lights

When selecting lights for your new year's party here in the Carolinas, be sure to decide on if you want indoor and/or outdoor lighting. Also, be sure to choose lights for indoor use that are specifically designed for indoor use. Outdoor lights may be more durable and weather-resistant, but they can also be a fire hazard if used indoors. Look for lights that are UL-approved for indoor use, and be sure to follow all manufacturer's instructions for safe use. Some great outdoor lights can be hanging lanterns, and for indoor lighting, lamps make a great option, too.

Decide on the Location of Your New Year's Lights

Once you have your new year's lights, it's time to start thinking about where you want them. If you're hanging them from the ceiling, be sure to use hooks or other supports that are rated to hold the weight of the lights, especially if they are temporary. For outdoor lights, choose the location that will provide the most light for your needs.

Pathway Lighting Makes Great New Year Lighting

Pathway lighting makes great new year's lighting. If you're hanging lights around the perimeter of a room or along a walkway, be sure to use only low-voltage lights. These are much safer to use than standard household voltage lights, and they'll save you money on your power bill, too. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for safe use, however, as some low-voltage lights must be plugged into a wall outlet using a special adapter.
