Battery Powered Christmas Lights...

Battery powered light sets have come a long way in recent years. The first battery light strings used large "C" or "D" cell batteries, so you get a rather large battery pack and not very long battery life with standard Mini light style bulbs. Now www.aachristmas.com only carries Battery LED sets that run on "AA" light sets. LED lights really take advantage of the battery power supply, in our own in house test we ran a set for about 25 hours before we noticed any sort of brightness difference. Even after the 25 hour burn time the sets were still completely bright enough to be used.

Our Battery powered LED light sets have the following specs :

• 20 Warm White Concave Style LED bulbs
• Approx. 7' Strand Length with 4" bulb spacing
  
• 12" Lead from battery pack to first bulb
• Use 3 "AA" batteries

The only disadvantage to these LED sets are the upfront price, but when you start to think about how much you'll save in hassle and shelling out the cash for batteries they really pay for themselves in the long run. Their construction and power savings are really want make these sets special.

News...

So this middle of April and nothing major is going on. We're still playing the waiting game on products to come in, trying our hardest to prepare for the coming busy season. We have been slowly trying to revamp AllAmericanChristmas.com

AllAmericanChristmas.com is our BIG displays and commercial decoration site. We have Pole mounted Displays, Ground Displays, Building Displays, Banners, Garland, Commerical Christmas Trees, and much more. AllAmericanChristmas.com is a little different because many of the pieces we stock are built to order, and we work off a quote system. You choose what items you want to buy, we take your quote and get in touch with the pieces manufacturer and get a quote on the price and when the piece can be delivered. We also get the best possible price on shipping. All you have to do is sit back and wait for it to show up...and pay us of course.

There are very few if any websites doing this on the scale at which we do it. We represent the largest Commercial Christmas companies in the country and have largest selection products available. We can also help you CUSTOM Design Displays and Banners, yes we'll design your very own customs displays and have them built for you if you need that. This service doesn't come cheap, but is just one of the many services we try to provide to the customer. Getting custom pieces designed and built is expensive with anyone, but we walk you through the steps and even will design artwork for you!

Please visit www.allameriacanchristmas.com today and browse our wide selection of products.

Light Clips...

There are a plethora of ways to affix your lights to your home these days. Generally in a residential situation you want to use a clip that is not permanent and will not leave evidence that you had Christmas lights up.

This is a ALL IN ONE clip in use, you can see how it slides under shingles on your roof. It can also be used on gutters, or wherever else you can securely clip it. It can hold C7, C9, Mini lights, and even some LED lights. The brother to the ALL IN ONE is the ALL IN ONE PLUS, it's similar in appearance but has a couple more features that gives it the PLUS status. The clip that goes around a gutter or on top of a shingle has an extra hook for hanging wire. For example, if you were using the ALL IN ONE PLUS on your gutters to hold C7 bulbs and wanted to hang icicle lights as well you could with this one clip.

There are other multi use clips, such as the omni clip, and are very popular because of the large number of uses. Clips that have a single use, like Shingle Tabs, are great if you don't need all the bells and whistles.

Single Tab Clips, Bi-Axle Clips, Icicle Clips, and the like are all single use clips. They generally can only hold one (sometimes two) type(s) of bulb. Most of these clips don't require any sort of permanent installation, some clips do. The C-Clip, the Parapet Clip (which works with the Shingle Tab clip), the Mini Light Adhesive Clip, the Quick Clip, and so on do require some sort of installation that can be permanent. Some clips use a sticky double sided adhesive pad and/or require nailing or screwing down. This can pose a problem for those not wanting to put holes in their siding or roof line, but in most cases these clips are uses for more commercial or year around lighting.

I hope you've learned a little something about Christmas Lights clips, head over to our Clips page to see our entire selection of clips.

News...

Our minimum phone order has gone down from $150 to $75. We are trying this to see how business changes with this $75 drop in minimum phone order price.

We always would prefer it if you would place your order online, just makes everything run smoother...but at least now there are more options with less of a price tag.
