Little white lights here on both trees. Nice and subtle and twinkly. The dining room tree has programmable settings and it's funny how I leave it set so the lights don't flash but come back to find someone's fiddled with the settings and they're now doing the polka round the tree :roll: . We've got twinkly white icicle lights in the conservatory too.

I like one solid colour OR white lights outside.

 

Our tree is fibre optic, I wanted an all white one but they had none left so it's multi coloured but I love it and it means we don't have to put lights on it- hooray! :D

we have white on the main tree with red berries over the curtain track,In

the dining room LED stars that change colour. in the kitchen a fibre optic tree with white snowflakes in the window, in the upstairs windows merry christmas signs etc, round the pond red LED rope lights.Out the front a tree with blue lights, icicles from the gutters Father Christmas on a rope, an LED rope round the porch pillar and multicoloured LEDs in the Yucca. For now! You may be able to tell that I like lights and I don't care that it doesn't fit in with our twee neighbourhood. They probably don't like my chickens either.

I always used to be a colured lights girl, but chookiehubbie bought new lights for the tree last year, and they're white lights - teeny little led lights that twinkle, and I LOVE them! :D

I have voted white, but actually I like both. Because we have the new cats and the only white lights we have for the tree are 240v we decided just to use the low voltage coloured ones on the tree we normally have a string of each. I have to say it doesn't look quite right without the white and the cats have left the tree alone so far therefore I think the white will have to go on.

 

There are too may tacky lights outside peoples houses now. Whatever happened to being green. Festive twinkles should be kept indoors :roll:

I've just put up lights outside my house for the first time ever. The total wattage is around 14 watts for the whole string of icicles, which means, I think, that I can have them on for just over 69 hours for one unit of electricity (based on 1000 watts in one hour is a unit?). This means I can have my lights on for 6 hours a day for a month and it will only cost around 3 units of electricity. Just checked my bill and it will cost around 27p plus VAT, so it's not as wasteful as you think, and a small price to pay for a bit of festive twinkle!!

actually I like all lights as long as they're not overdone and YOU TAKE THEM DOWN ON 12th NIGHT!

 

I hate seeing Christmas lights still up in August, how lazy is that!

 

Not worth taking them down after July! :lol:

 

:lol::lol::lol:

We have white on the tree indoors that do flash, but not disco rave styleeeee

 

That would give me a headahce :roll::lol:

 

I did have 240 lights on the Christmas Tree outside the house BUT these last two years it's grown far too much and is now nearly the height of the house - so unless I hire a cherry picker I'd never get the lights neatly put round the tree :lol:
