8 Unique Christmas Light Ideas

November 29, 2018

Are you searching for some holiday inspiration to help you light up your street this year? You’re in luck! We’ve seen lots of Christmas light displays all over Fayetteville, Arkansas. Here are eight unique Christmas light ideas from our team of pros at Buzz Electrical.

1. Festive Floodlights

We’ve all seen wood lawn ornaments illuminated by plain old flood lights before. Add an extra dose of Christmas magic to your home by illuminating the walls of your house in Christmas colors! If you like a traditional look, stick to white string lights on your roof and alternate red and green floodlights on the walls on your house. For a winter wonderland vibe, try some blue floodlights.

2. Monochrome Yard

Stand out from our neighbors with meek strands of white lights trailing along a tiny section of the roof or a handful of multicolored bushes. Commit fully to one monochromatic scheme from top to bottom. Buy string lights, bush lights, tree lights, flood lights, and other hanging lights all in the same color and watch them transform your yard with bright red cheer or wintry blue sparkle.

3. Christmas Image Projectors

Turn your front yard into its very own light show! There are hundreds of affordable light projectors on the market to give you your own private snow flurry or a festive holiday greeting.

4. Chuzzle Ball Solar Lights

Looking for a light shape that isn’t overdone? Give these funky Chuzzle Ball String Lights a try. Each light looks like a large glowing orb from far away and a cluster of little snowflakes up close. They are solar powered, which means you don’t have to plug them in or buy any batteries! Just let them charge in the sunlight throughout the day and watch them glow at night.

5. Copper Wire Fairy Lights

One of the best things about copper wire lights is versatility. Since the wire is so easily bendable, you can use them for all sorts of creative decoration ideas! Wind them tightly around the limbs of a tree, drape them loosely around a favorite decoration to give it a fairy glow, or curl them up inside a lantern or mason jar like permanent fireflies.

6. DIY Wooden Marquee Trees

Use this tutorial to transform an old wood pallet and some marquee bulbs into adorable Christmas tree shapes! Paint the boards in festive colors and you’ll have one of the most unique lawn ornaments on the block.

7. DIY Christmas Ornament Lanterns

Use this tutorial to fill up some lanterns with plastic ornaments and string lights. The lights will illuminate the right colors and make a creative decoration for your front porch.

8. Shooting Stars

Create the illusion of shooting stars in your trees or on your house using rope lights and star-shaped wire wreath forms. This tutorial teaches you how to wrap and hang the lights to create some starry magic.
