Horizontal or Vertical

Folks

At least I know I am positing in the right place with this question! 

Having browsed for a bit both in the documentation and forums I can't find the answer to this one.... so it's either blindingly obvious.... or I'm just plain dumb! :)

Cosmic color bulbs... being mounted to the eaves of a house;

Do I mount them vertically, so you end up looking at them from the side, or horizontally, so you end up looking at them from the end?

Does it even matter?

Cheers

Whatever look you like best.  I don't have CCBs, but I do have 402 GE Color Effects bulbs which are similar.  I have them all mounted so you are looking at the side of the bulb (similar to how a traditional C9 bulb would hang on the wire.

The GECE bulbs come with the L shaped bracket that I used to mount two bulbs - one up, one down.

Gravity is your ally.    I like to hang eve lights hanging down so guests see a profile view.  Every bulb has a mount but if its not held well it will not droop far from the position I am trying for.

Perfect - Thanks all. First year doing this.... looking forward to some experimentation, but really appreciate the voice(s) of experience. Cheers!
