These are the top tips from pros with over 100 years of light set experience:

* Measure: Using your two hands, touch your pointer fingertip to your other pointer fingertip. Take your thumb tip and place it on your other thumb tip. To create a maximum 1/8 inch diamond, combine all four tips. Stand no closer than 10 feet from the lit tree. Take a look through the diamond and scan the entire tree side-to-side, top to bottom. This will allow you to see dark spots that may need additional lights.

* Quality vs. price: Commercial-grade light sets are more reliable for outdoor use because of their durability and thicker insulation.

* Decide on LED vs. incandescent: LEDs are more expensive than incandescent lights, but they last longer. An average Christmas season can see a tree that contains 1,000 incandescent lights costing $10. A tree that has 1000 LEDs will cost about $1.50.

* Replace and repair: If you notice one or two unlit bulbs within a section that is primarily operating properly, replace those bulbs ASAP. The lifespan of a light set can be decreased by as much as 39 percent by having two burned out bulbs, and by four that have four burnt out bulbs it can reduce its lifespan by 67%.
