You do not need an exterior outlet to enjoy outdoor christmas lights.
Put up christmas lights outside without outlet.
I have a small christmas tree that comes with pre lit lights that i want to put out this christmas on a plot at the cemetery.
We could run a really long cord from an outlet in the garage which is all the way inside by the inside do.
Put a nail or an s hook on the ladder so you can hang your tote bucket.
Fi and i are living in the top half of a duplex with a great upper porch and i d really love to hang christmas lights around the railing but i just went outside to check and there s no way for me to get power out there to light them no porch light no outlet nothing.
The tree comes with a plug but i don t have a clue how to go about it.
There are two ways to power outdoor christmas lights that illuminate the exterior of your house.
You can either run a power strip off the porch light outlet adapter or you can run the cord out of the window by using some insulation weather stripping which u can buy at home depot or something.
Some of our neighbors screw a socket with outlet into their porch lights but ours is enclosed and there is no room.
If you work alone use a basket or bucket with a handle to haul your materials up and down.
Outdoor lighting requires a lot of lifting careful placement and aligning which is much easier to do with a helper or two.
Since a lot of you seem to be all excited about decorating for christmas i pose a problem.
You can also augment these power supplying methods by using lights that do not run on electric power.
Does anyone know how i can go about using a portable solar panel that s also battery operated to connect to my tree.
Use a reliable sturdy ladder and get a helper if you can.
