Choosing the Right Holiday Colored Lights
You can go for the right colored lights according to your preferences, but you also have to consider safety and many other issues. For example, lights that are too big or heavy may be difficult to secure and are prone to loosening or falling off while driving, which can not only affect your safety on the road, but also pose a danger to the vehicles next to you.
It is not difficult to choose your favorite colored lights, what is important is the ability to power them, about which we will have many options.
You can use direct battery-powered lights instead of plug-powered lights, which have their own batteries that can power them, but often these lights are disposable and difficult to use for long periods of time, and even though it would save a lot of hassle, it costs a lot of money, which doesn’t seem to be cost-effective for an event that only happens once a year. So you can try to use lights that are powered by a plug.
The average car will have a jack for power supply and most of our cars are 12v DC, you can just buy lights that are only 12v, however these are also very expensive and there are very few options available.
Or you can go for strings that require AC power, but you need to go for an inverter which converts the DC power from the car to the AC power required by the string so that the string can work properly.
But the Christmas lights using the car’s internal power supply, if the power is exhausted, the car can not start, you will not be able to get home, so you can try to buy a lithium battery, although the lithium battery itself is also DC, but he can avoid the dilemma of the car can not fire without electricity, not only that, lithium battery charging faster and smaller, very convenient, and if the home suddenly power outage, it will be the best backup power. Will become the best backup power.
How to install the light string?
Installation
After purchasing the necessary supplies according to your own wishes, you can install it, using tape and other tools to arrange the string lights into the way you want, if you are worried that the tape will hurt your car, you can try to use other things to fix it. Be sure to tape them firmly so they don’t interfere with your driving, and be sure to tuck away your wires so they’re not exposed and causing damage. Also, make sure to take precautions in case of rainy weather to avoid leakage and other safety hazards.
Using the inverter
To use the inverter, you need to place it on a flat surface, and connect the red and black wires of the inverter to the positive and negative poles of the car power supply or lithium battery (red wire to the positive pole, black wire to the negative pole), and then talk about the light strings of the plug into the AC socket of the inverter, and then turn on the switch to start using it.
