Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have any tips for hanging icicle lights?

First, always measure the distance to your power source. Then measure out where you’re hanging out your lights to help you decide exactly how many strands you’ll need. Finally, spend some time lightly tugging on each light to help straighten things out before hanging and give you plenty of length to work with. Keep in mind that you should buy more lighting than you think you’ll need, just in case — if you have leftovers, you can use them to decorate the interior of your home.

How do I store icicle lights?

To keep your lights from getting tangled when you’re not using them, try wrapping them around cardboard with slots cut into the edges so that everything stays neat and tidy for next year.
