Get This Look: Karen's LED Multi-color LED Christmas lights!

My cousin Karen gives brand-new meaning to her name — she’s genuinely cool, funny, and she creates a Christmas display that stops traffic in the best possible way.

About two years ago, she moved from a traditional glass multi-color look to an all-LED outline and has never looked back. She was kind enough to share this year’s photos, and they are fantastic. Scroll down for the full gallery.

• 125 C9 Smooth Multi LED Bulbs (Faceted, smooth, or opaque all work beautifully. These sell out fast — grab them early!)
  Fun alternates: pink, purple, yellow, orange, teal.
• 2 50-ft C9 Christmas Light Cords
• 5 sets of Multi-Color LED Net Lights (match your single-color bulbs)
• 125 Magnetic Christmas Light Clips

Prefer glass? This look can also be created using traditional C7/C9 bulbs. Explore all options on our Bulbs & Cords page.

• Order one magnetic clip per bulb/socket.

• Karen’s Binder Clip Trick:
Because she's petite, Karen uses two large binder clips to temporarily “hold” sections of lights on the shingles while she moves her ladder. Once the magnetic clips are secured to the fascia, she repositions the binder clip forward, grabs the one behind, and keeps on going — no accidental light avalanches.

• Match your colors.
A unified color palette between your roofline, net lights, and indoor Christmas tree brings everything together into one cohesive, warm, holiday look.

Lights installed on metal fascia using magnetic clips.
