• Driveways and entry roads: Outlining these with C9s provides a dramatic entrance, especially effective for HOAs, churches, and businesses welcoming large numbers of guests. • Flowerbeds and plazas: Stake lighting adds structure and polish to landscaped areas, making them pop after dark. • Public spaces: Parks, plazas, and courtyards benefit from stake lighting’s ability to define spaces and lead people toward focal points such as trees or displays. C9 bulbs are one of the most versatile and impactful tools in holiday decorating. Stringer sets offer a cost-effective solution for lighting large canopies, while empty socket light line with retrofit bulbs provides unmatched brightness, durability, and customizability. At ground level, C9 stakes turn ordinary walkways and landscapes into glowing guides that elevate both safety and design. Choosing the right C9 system ensures your landscape lighting looks professional, lasts for years, and becomes one of the defining features of your holiday program. Specialty Lighting: Creating Focal Points and Unique Effects While rooflines, mini lights, and C9s provide the foundation of a display, specialty lighting creates the signature moments that make people stop, look, and remember. These products add dimension, movement, and atmosphere, turning a good display into an extraordinary one. When used thoughtfully, specialty lighting elements draw attention to key areas and provide variety so the overall program feels dynamic and layered. Icicle Lights Icicle lights are a holiday classic, hung from eaves, roof edges, and overhangs to create a vertical drop effect that adds variety and texture to a display. While they are not as popular as they once were, they remain a good option for those who want a different style of lighting that breaks up the straight lines of roofline C9s or minis. They are especially effective along long rooflines or across covered walkways where their vertical design creates a softer, more varied outline. Spheres, Starbursts, and Light Balls Hanging light spheres or starbursts in trees and courtyards creates dimension by filling vertical space above eye level. These 3D shapes look impressive both day and night, adding structure even before they are illuminated. In the evening, they transform into floating orbs of color and sparkle. Grouping multiple spheres of varying sizes together enhances the effect, making them ideal for plazas, parks, and shopping center courtyards. Larger spheres, which typically range from 16 inches up to 40 inches in diameter, are also excellent as illuminated ground décor. Positioned along walkways, in landscaped beds, or at building entrances, these oversized spheres add another layer of illumination and create a striking contrast to elevated lighting elements. By mixing both suspended and ground-level spheres, you can bring more depth and visual balance to an overall holiday program. Meteor Shower Lights Meteor shower lights mimic the natural beauty of falling snow or streaking comets. When installed vertically in tree canopies, they create the illusion of glowing droplets cascading through the branches. The effect is mesmerizing, especially when multiple tubes are used
