Christmas Lights

As winter arrives and it gets darker and darker, we feel a strong need to light up our home properly. That's why Christmas lights are perfect to combine with the other lights in your home to create a magical atmosphere for the upcoming festive season.

Combine Christmas lights with candles

It's not just the warm glow of candles that sets the tone. Using poinsettias and Advent candlesticks, you can create a classic Christmas atmosphere. At NO-GA you will find carefully selected Christmas lights for an elegant and inviting look in your home. Complement your Christmas lights with candle holders of various kinds. In our category of classic and modern candlesticks and lanterns, you will find a wide range of candles for different tastes and styles.

How to decorate with Christmas lights?

It's when you combine a variety of light sources with details that you get the effect. Complement your outdoor lighting with string lights or other light sources such as lanterns, candles and other outdoor lighting. Interweave lights in the Christmas wreath with Christmas lights and poinsettias found indoors with natural elements such as spruce branches, cinnamon sticks or dried orange halves that are both fragrant and reminiscent of Christmas.

Create atmosphere with Christmas lights and decorations

While a poinsettia and an Advent candle holder are what most people define Christmas lights, there are many other ways to create a festive atmosphere with Christmas decorations and other types of lighting. Let your creativity flow freely at Christmas time where it is ultimately about getting that cosy Christmas feeling.

Which Christmas lights in windows?

It can be difficult to know which Christmas lights are best suited to your window and there are many different types of Christmas lights to choose from. If you find it difficult to decide what works best, it can be very helpful to think about the feeling and impression you want to create. The window during Advent can be either discreet or eye-catching.

In addition to the feeling being extremely central, it is just as important and good to keep the size and proportions of the window in mind in your choice. How much space you have to move around can be crucial to the final choice of Christmas lights.

Hanging poinsettia or standing Advent candle holder

There isn't just one way to place Christmas lights in the window, it's really only your own taste and preference that sets the limits. For most people, hanging poinsettias and placing Advent candlesticks in the window is a given. If you want to combine these two, a poinsettia on a stand can be a good option.

In a large window, you can even fit several poinsettias, or why not a larger and taller Advent candlestick. If you feel like trying something new, you can disregard the traditional way in which poinsettias are often set up and instead place them upright against the window.

Which light bulb should you use for your poinsettia?

The main feature of a poinsettia is its warm and cosy glow. A warm glow reminds us all of what Christmas is all about and allows us to enter a quiet and atmospheric period.

To achieve a warm glow, it is preferable to go for a bulb that is between 75-125 lumens. Be sure to read the product description of your Advent star or candle holder to find out what type of lighting is recommended.

LED lighting for poinsettias

Choosing the right light bulb for poinsettias is not the easiest thing to do. Depending on the kind of glow you want or the material the poinsettia is made of, the choice of bulb can be determined accordingly.

It is not only aesthetics that matter. Safety and fire hazards often come up as the festive season approaches. Making smart choices when it comes to selecting light sources gives you a head start. One tip is to replace last year's incandescent bulbs that are still in place with proper LED bulbs.

Many advantages of LED lighting

LED lights are fireproof, environmentally friendly and durable. Regular incandescent bulbs tend to heat up much faster, which increases the risk of accidents. It is common to have paper poinsettias, which unfortunately are more likely to catch fire if you have the wrong light source. You can find the perfect bulb for your poinsettia in our wide range of light sources.

When can Christmas lights be put up?

Traditionally, it has always been said that Christmas lights should be put up around the first day of Advent. Recently, however, this principle has been abandoned in favour of starting Christmas a little early, and why not?

As early as mid-November, we see Christmas lights and decorations in the city. Either you stick to the principle that the Christmas lights must not go up before Advent, or you go with your gut and start Christmas earlier than that. It's hard to justify the disadvantages of illuminating your home with poinsettias during the darkest months of the year, and it's also incredibly atmospheric.
