We love this traditional Christmas light installation on a 1930’s Tudor home. Twelve-inch spacing is classic and most often used in commercial installations.
Posted on Instagram, @landparktutor had this to say:
In case you want to do a GTL: It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. We customized classic C9 faceted soft LED lights. This allowed us to connect multiple strands and cut them to perfectly fit our roofline and dormers. We ended up spacing out the bulbs 12” from another for a more historic look.
