Although we do love extravagant holiday lighting displays, not everyone can or wants to go to the expense and time it takes to create them.
For those that do; however, we encourage you to check out these "mind blowing" holiday lighting displays!
We've selected Christmas house lighting photos for this gallery that depict what we believe are aesthetically beautiful without being "over the top".
We thank and appreciate both professional and amateur photographers who have graciously shared their photos with us.

Christmas Lighting Options
- For outdoor Christmas try to use either singularly or a mix of C7s or C9s
- If using miniatures the light string will stay lit if a bulb filament fails. Try to replace the burned-out bulb quickly as the shunt allows the remaining lights to remain lit; however, it will increase the voltage for the other bulbs which may reduce their longevity.
- Net lighting (which is a mesh of interconnected mini LED lights) easily drapes over your landscaping.
- Shimmer spheres come in various designs like snowballs or stars and stripes. They consist of different sized lights and some twinkle.
- Icicle lights are ideal for gables and to outline your eaves.
