Christmas Lights: No Outlets in front of house?

Posted by Jade Martins on Jan-9-2010

Hi All, My house does not have any outlets in the front. I do have exterior spot/flood lights in front. What is the best way to hook the lights (Ice sickles, 2 light up motion deer, an LED sleigh, and tree trunk wrapped with red mini lights and topped with clear LED mini lights.) Thanks for any help!
last year I hooked up to one of the spot/flood sockets, is it ok to do so.

Yes it’s OK to plug into flood light socket. I hook mine up to one of my porch light sockets. It makes it convenient because I can turn on the lights by turning on the porch light switch inside. You don’t have much there so nothing should overheat.

    These things are pretty low-draw items, run an extension cord from around back?

    Is there power in your garage? You can buy a light stake at Wal-Mart for about $12. If you can run an extension cord from your garage to the light stake you can plug everything in there. Shouldn’t be too hard.
