2. Choose the Right Colour Temperature: Warm white lights create a cosy, traditional look, while cool white and coloured lights add a more modern or vibrant feel. Consider what mood you want to create and choose lights accordingly.

3. Plan Your Power Requirements: Ensure your lighting package includes a compatible power source. Many of our products, such as the Christmas Tree Lighting Package and Festoon Lighting Pack, come with reliable LED drivers for smooth, safe operation.

4. Think About Energy Efficiency: All of Flexible Neon’s Christmas lights use energy-efficient LED technology, allowing you to enjoy a bright display with minimal impact on energy costs.
