Fall Light Decorations

Fall is one of my all time favorite seasons. The leaves changing, the weather starting to cool off and pumpkins are everywhere. One of the most fun parts of fall is the decor. There are so many options for fall decorations but have you thought about how you would light up your Autumn decorations? Well, we have.

Brown wire mini lights are a wonderful option during the fall months. Wrap a strand of brown wire lights in you centerpieces or in fun fall leaf garland. These lights will blend perfectly with your decor and will give you table or mantle a nice glow.

Brown wire mini lights come in 3 and 4 inch spacing with bulb counts of 20, 50 and 100. The 20 count will be great for use in centerpieces or a tablescape. They are short with no end connector. This way it won't overwhelm your arrangement. The 50 and 100 bulb counts are great for garland and larger scale decorations. You will have plenty of ambient light from your fall mini lights.

Flicker flame bulbs are another fun and festive option for fall decor. You can use them in you garland or standing alone next to fall floral arrangements or group them in the middle of a table for a centerpiece. These have a very realistic flicker just like the flame from a candle. But with these lights you won;t have to worry about anything catching on fire or endangering kids or pets with an open flame. You can just plug them in and forget about them. Perfect for soft lighting on chilly fall nights.

You just have to be creative and these fall lighting option can a long way. We hope you have a fun and festive fall season.

Speed Shingle Tabs

We are so proud to offer a selection of USA made light clips to our customers. But we would like to tell you a little more a specific type of clip that is perfect for outdoor decorating, especially along a roof line.

Shingle speed tabs are a wonderful tool when you want to line your roof with lights during the holidays. These tabs can be used on almost any roof types; metal, tile, wood, composition. Shingle speed tabs are made with UV stabilized poly so they won't be worn down from sunlight. Also, they are made with increased rigidity, so there will be no harm from snow and ice. These clips will last for quite a long time in even the most unpredictable climates.

Installation with Speed Shingle Tabs is also much quicker than with some other clips. With these you can install a fully assembled light string. This will save a lot of time while decorating for the holidays.

These light clips will also accommodate for C7 and C9 light strings, both LED and incandescent. This means that any of the lights you have always been using for you home decorating can still be used. Big money saver.

For flat roofs, mostly with commercial buildings, there is the Flat Roof Adapter. These will help attach the speed shingle tabs a flat surface roof. These can be affixed to the flat surface with either screws or adhesive.

These will work for any decorating project on a home or business. And they are all made right here in the USA.

11S14 Patio Lights at All American Christmas Co.

All American Christmas Co. has carried "Globe" Patio lights for many years but as the popularity of using these decidedly old school lights grows we've chosen to start carrying the classic style S14 Patio Lights. S14 are just as common for patio lights as their rounder counterparts but have a few benefits over their globe cousins. They are an 11 watt bulb with E-27 Medium Base, they have the circular style filament for traditional appeal that is rated for approximately 8,000 hours.

These new patio lights come in most common transparent colors, a satin frosted white, and a handful of ceramic (opaque) colors. Since they are all medium base (same as a house hold light bulb) they require our larger commercial light line, like our Molded Commercial Light Strings. Even though these S14 bulbs are in our patio lights section they are popular for many uses, a lot of sign companies use them to light/outline signs, they are great for hanging across streets to get a European look, and they are incredibly popular for lighting up weddings!

Check out our Patio Lights page to see all the great S14 and Globe bulbs available.

Icicle Christmas Lights

Icicle lights, one of the easiest and most commonly used ways to decorate a home or business during the holiday season. Hang them along a roof line or gutter and you instantly have holiday cheer surrounding you. These are an old faithful in the Christmas light world, but why not check out all the new options that have come out in the last few years.

There will always be the traditional mini light icicles. These come in 100 and 150 light counts with a variety of colors. But these fun and festive lights also come with a few other options. We offer dripping, twinkling and color changing icicle lights. Some people like these because it gives you a look of dripping ice or falling snow from the roof line. 

Another option that might be a good a choice for businesses are the commercial icicle lights. These are a heavier duty set with tougher wire, 20,000+ hours of life and you can connect 10 sets end to end. This would be useful if you were trying to cover a larger building for the holidays. 

Another option is the popular LED icicle lights.A lot of people have switched over many of their holiday decorations for LED lights over the last few years. One thing people might not think to change is their outdoor icicle lights. But this could be a big money saver around the holidays, especially if you have them on all the time. There really isn't a lot of options for LED icicle lights. They offer two light counts, and three to four color choices. But even with the limited options, there really is something to fit every one's taste.

We are proud to offer a wide selection of icicle lights to meet any decorating needs or desires.
