This set of 25 extra long lawn light stakes are 15 inches long and 7/8 inches wide. These lawn light stakes can be used with rope lights, C7, C9, and miniature lights to enhance your lawn. The green extra long lawn light stakes are made of flexible heavy duty poly-vinyl material. The C7/C9 extra long lawn light stakes are the perfect way to quickly and easily line your driveway or lawn with lights at Christmas time. Directions for the lawn light stakes are included.
To use the extra long lawn light stakes simply push the light bulb holder down until the bulb holder snaps into a 90 degree position. The two extended claws will hold the light bulb holder in place. Position your light strand on the ground where they are to be placed. Stretch the light cords out using them a spacing guide. At each light socket push the stake into the ground. Make sure that you measure the above ground extended light stake so all your stakes will extend to the same height.
NOTE: For frozen ground use a screwdriver to make a starter hole for the light stakes.
Installing V7 or C9 Christmas outdoor lights.: Position the C7/C9 bulb at the top of the stake by inserting the socket hook into the round opening on the light stakes.
Installing Miniature Lights: Take the light bulb holder and cross the end tips over one another making sure that the notches overlap. Now spread the small light holder out by pressing the sides of the large circle in. This will make the small oval end open. Insert the miniature light bulb socket into the small opening until it is locked into place. Select to read the Safety and Care Instructions for Christmas lights.
Helpful Hints:
Begin by measuring the areas you want to decorate with lights. If you are using C-7 or C-9 outdoor lights you will need a least one light and stake per foot.
Locate your electrical outlets before installing your lights. Make sure that you have the proper Power Strips and Power Protection Supplies.
Estimate the electrical requirements for your installation. The total current draw in amperes can be estimated by adding the current of all the light strings that will be powered from one single outlet. The current rating of each light string should be marked on the product or its packaging. The number of Christmas light strings you can connect will depend upon the capacity of the circuit in amperes, and what household loads are already connected to that circuit. The capacity of circuits in a house can usually be determined by looking at the rating of circuit breakers or fuses used.
To run electrical power long distances, use 25 Foot Grounded Extension Cords. or 40 Foot Grounded Extension Cords. Use grounded electrical cords of sufficient length to avoid stringing cords together. Try to anticipate areas where water or snow might accumulate and locate connections away from such areas. Connections are best located in sheltered areas, such as beneath overhangs. Be sure to secure cords against excessive movement due to wind, etc. Do not use any fasteners that have the potential to damage the cord insulation.
Inspect and test your light strings prior to installation. Do not use light sets with cracked insulation or damaged cords. Replace C-7 and C-9 bulbs only with Replacement Christmas Light Bulbs that have the same wattage as the original bulbs. In the case of miniature light bulbs, lamps of the same voltage rating.
After using the lawn light stakes make sure you clean off the dirt that may be on the stakes before storing them.
