zeighty Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 I know you guys have answered this in one place or another on this forum... Perhaps this will be the post that pulls all the answers together. I am ready to order lights. I see that there are various sizes available. I have used c9s in my static display for years. Below is a list of sizes. If you are so inclined copy the list to your reply post and put your opinion as to the best application for that size. I know there are a lot of variables, but I also know that experience can be a huge help. I have columns, arbor, gutter line and a few real trees and 4 or 5 3 or 4 foot light trees. As always - thank you. 5mmM6C6C9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orville Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I use M5's in bushes and trees. C6's I use along the eave of the house {roofline}, doors and windows. I may also use C7's along the eaves and around doors and windows as well as ground lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
