💰⚡️💡What is my light bill? 💰⚡️💡 Christmas is when I use triple the amount of lights and December is my highest bill. These are my bill totals for last years’ holiday season: Oct 2 - Nov 2: $128 Nov 2 - Dec 2: $125 Dec 2 - Jan 2: $187

Where you don't need a ground (3-prong),I would also suggest you use SPT-1 or SPT-2 wire and vampire plugs (male and female). They also sell vampire C7 sockets. You can also get E26 (Standard Socket Bulb) adapters to E12 (C7 type bulbs) and vise versa. This would save you a ton of money on the many extension cords. You are correct with LED lighting. I would also suggest a smart plug that has power consumption monitoring. This way you can see the load gradually go up as you add items to it. Keep up the great work!!

I thought the witch/moon display was going to be too small when you were lifting it up to that tree, but it turned out _really_ good. The proportions are a lot closer to how the moon might actually appear in the sky. Well done!

We pick up those special effects light bulbs at Home Depot… spinning multi colors.. I think one looks like spider webs that move around. It adds a lot more depth and even motion to static props. Your yard would look cool with some of those.

Nice idea 💡

@mrbubba81 7 месяцев назад

Love love love your display. And amazing lighting, obviously. Which leads me to my question. If I’m not lighting huge trees (basically just accent lighting on the house and small decorations), do I want spots or panels? Thanks!!

@IsaacAlexanderDIY 7 месяцев назад

That depends, do you want them to be multi colored or simply a soft white light? If you want just soft white light then you need 10w landscape spot light (it’s what I use to light up big props on the video at 6:57) if you want color the. I suggest using the panel LED’s seen at 2:40

@mrbubba81 7 месяцев назад

Oh I def want colors for holiday decor (already have white up lights on the corners of the house). Sounds like the panels will be best. Then I can change their colors for different holidays. Thanks again!! 🙌

I have a question, what if you are not using LED lights and using other type of lights what should you do if you use those and how can you tell how much your electricity bill will be compared to LED lights?

@IsaacAlexanderDIY 7 месяцев назад

LED is the only thing I use. The other option is incandescent which consumes a lot of electricity and you cannot use as many connected together. So I do not know what to tell you but I definitely recommend you using LED lights only.

@fennec7906 7 месяцев назад

Question - Why not use 1-2 60-100+ watt LED with a remote/app instead of 5+ 20w purples to light the trees up? Plus, if you ever get tired of using purple for the trees, you can change the color later. This isn't a criticism, just wondering if you have a reason. I've been working on lighting for my house this year as well so I definitely appreciate videos like this. That's a lot of daisy chaining, but I guess as you said, it's low voltage with LEDs, so it's fine. I'm trying to figure out a way to light up my entire house without blinding my trick-or-treaters. I've tried placing 60w LEDs back 25+ feet from my house but it still catches people in the eyes due to the layout of my house. Frustrating.. Do you have a background in construction?

@IsaacAlexanderDIY 7 месяцев назад

The issue is that the pine trees are so tall that we need a lot of light to light it up. LED panels that are 100W or more can be very expensive but these bulbs are $10 apiece and its base is six dollars so it’s just cheaper for me to do it this way. I do have the same issue of blinding people because of how bright the lights are on the front of the house and honestly I haven’t been able to find a good enough way to light up the house without it blinding people people. I’ve never worked in construction or electrical, I’ve just taught myself how to do it over the last few years
