Blue garland: how to choose and where to hang it?

Decorating rooms in a house or outdoor objects with garlands for the New Year has long been considered a good tradition. The selection of these luminous jewelry on the market is huge. You can buy a garland of any configuration, size and color. Along with multi-colored, monochrome Christmas tree decorations are very popular.

To determine the choice of such an electrical appliance, Consider the following:

• the place where you plan to install the garland - outdoors or indoors;
• the principle of the device;
• the color of the wire and the shape of the lamps;
• sizes.

Garlands differ in the type of wire. They come in rubber, silicone and polyvinyl chloride. For the street, products with rubber and silicone wires are suitable. They are resistant to moisture and frost, I work at sub-zero temperatures with a mark of fifty degrees. Indoors, it is enough to use a device that has a PVC wire. Wire colors are also different. They can be, for example, green, black or transparent.

On sale you can find garlands in the form of a cord, curtain (fringe), mesh, icicles, flexible light tubes (duralight).

The length of the product depends on the purpose for which it is used. If for a Christmas tree, then the garland should be three times higher than the tree. (It's about the cord). To decorate a wall or a window inside the house, a product with a length (horizontally) of 1.5-2 meters is sufficient. These are usually fringed garlands. The street model may well be 20 or 30 meters long. It all depends on the size of the building where it is going to be placed.

The shape of electric garland lamps can be very different. These are balls, stars, snowflakes, bells.

In addition to the purpose of the product and the artistic intent behind the selection, quality and safety issues need to be considered when purchasing. You need to buy such things not in the bazaar, but in a specialized store, where they can provide all the certificates and guarantees for such products. Do not hesitate to demand from the seller the relevant documents and carefully read them.

One of the most important conditions for choosing is the presence or absence of a fire certificate for the product. If there is no such document, no matter how beautiful the garland is, it is better to refuse to purchase it.

To understand whether the garland you like is intended for home or for use on the street, you need to focus on the IP marking. If the digital designation for this indicator is less than 23, then this product is intended for use in the room, and if it is higher than this figure, then the garland can be placed on the street.

It is better to give preference to the LED model, since it can last longer than products with incandescent lamps. In addition, unlike old products with conventional bulbs, in the event of a burnout of one luminous element in the LED garland, all other objects continue to work.

So, giving preference to one or another Christmas tree decoration, it should be borne in mind that the length of the cord from the first light bulb to the plug should be at least one and a half meters. It will be a shame if the cord of the purchased garland cannot reach the outlet.

The blue garland with its cool light can be used in many different ways.With its help, they create a unique atmosphere in the interior, highlighting this or that zone. The Christmas tree in the house is decorated in a special style, but most often such decoration is found on street objects.

This product will add a ceremonial brilliance to the shop window, the front door of the institution. The facade of a private country house, decorated with a blue curtain, will acquire a festive mystery. A blue garland will create a fabulous atmosphere in the winter sleeping garden. It will harmoniously combine with the overflow of white snow, if it is strengthened on a gazebo or decorated with trees.
