Our typical blogs are informational in an attempt to
broaden our customer’s horizons when it comes to our products. Most people believe that you only use
Christmas products at Christmas time; we feel like we are doing a good job of
changing that perception.
This blog is completely different. We truly care about the safety of our
customers. We not only want to share
your love of Christmas and decorating, but we are genuinely concerned with the
quality of life you live. We also
believe that we can offer some practical ways to put our products to use.
The San
Jose, CA sheriff’s Department had some practical advice
for preventing burglaries. Make sure
your home appears occupied, even when you are on vacation. You could purchase a timer for your lights,
or simply have a trusted neighbor stop by to turn lights on and off as it gets
dark outside. Make sure you either stop
your mail delivery while you are gone, or incorporate the help of that friendly
neighbor to pick it up each day so it does not build up. Make sure you visit the link to hear all of
the wonderful ideas.
A well-lit home is one of the major deterrents of a
thief. Perimeter lighting with rope light is a good way to help with lighting. Simply line the perimeter of your roof in the
rope light color of your choice.
Another place you can use rope
light to make your home safer is the walkway or driveway, or you could
light both. Simply dig a small trench on
the side of your walkway or driveway and place the rope light in the
trench. You could cover with ‘glass’
rocks to make the walkway more attractive.
Another lighting idea is to wrap your trees with string lights. This is a very elegant idea used for special events such as weddings or parties, but you could use the same idea to protect your home. Simply wrap string lights around the trunks of your trees.
