Looking for the right lights this Fourth of July? This blog is here to lend a hand!
This year marks a momentous occasion as America officially turns 250 years old. With the nation reaching a landmark age such as this, you’ll want to be sure that your lighting is up to par this Fourth of July.
Read this blog to find the perfect way to light your party red, white, and blue!
Colored String Lights
Whether your venue is indoors or outdoors, string lights are a must.
You can hang lights from your patios, pergolas, rafters, fences, and trees! With easy installation, eye-catching displays, and the essential holiday colors, these lights will set the right atmosphere both day and night!
If you’re looking for red, white, and blue string lights, or something with all three, we’ve got you! You can find all these colors and more at lightbulbs.com!
Themed String Lights
For a patriotic touch, you can be a little more specific with your lighting. Pick something not only with the right colors, but also directly on brand for the holiday! For example, if you really want to one up your neighbors, go all in with an American flag themed string set, or a star themed one! And if you’re feeling extra patriotic, why not use both!
And for something a little different, try perusing our cluster burst lights. You’ll find that they closely resemble fireworks!
Colored Light Bulbs
The Fourth of July’s colors are an iconic part of the holiday, so if you’re planning to host or help set up a party, try bringing everything to life with some lighting.
Red
As the color used the most in the American flag, red symbolizes valor and bravery. Whether you pair red with other colors or not, red light bulbs are a great on theme choice for your party.
White
Even if you aren’t crazy about decorating for holidays, chances are you already have some white lights in your residence. However, the white light most often used for the fourth is known as pure white and usually rests around 5000K. Matching the name of the color, the white on the American flag represents purity and innocence.
Blue
Next, we have blue. If you get yourself a blue light bulb and pair it with the previous colors, you can complete the Fourth of July’s favorite trio. Holding strong to its small but mighty presence on the flag, blue stands for vigilance, perseverance, and justice.
RGB
Maybe one color isn’t enough for you, or maybe you want your Fourth of July lights to function for Halloween as the summer ends. If that’s the case, then RGB light bulbs are just the right fix! From the classic red, green and blue, to various other colors, modern RGB lights offer a wide range of colors suited for your tastes.
Novelties
Outside of the typical lights used for the fourth, there are also other bits and bobs that can make great additions to your celebration!
Rope Lights
Rope Lights are often the forgotten middle child of string lights and strip lights, however, that doesn’t make them any less viable as a decorating option! Known for their waterproof tubing, rope lights are perfect for the lighting occasions that call for something a bit more subtle and flexible.
Wreaths
Though wreaths are most commonly used for Christmas, they aren’t bound to any one holiday. Fourth of July wreaths are proof of this, and they’ll make a fine addition to your front door.
Ribbons
Ribbons are the perfect way to add something subtle, yet elegant to your party. They’re a great substitute for the places where your string lights can’t quite reach an outlet.
Christmas Decor
With the colors of the two holidays being quite interchangeable, people often repurpose their Christmas decor for the fourth, and vice versa. String lights, hanging ornaments, and Christmas trees are all subjects to be used for this summer holiday!
Conclusion
A 250th Anniversary can only be celebrated once, so if there is a year to go all out on your Fourth of July party, it’s this one! So, hang your string lights, wreaths, and ribbons, and sit back and enjoy the fireworks. However you celebrate our Nation's 250th Anniversary, be sure to add a bit of light to it!
