CdM Shop Offers the Best and Brightest in Holiday Lights
From $99.99 starter sets of European cascading icicle lights to your basic strands of crystal bulbs — with a few chenille-covered lighted husky dogs pulling a sleigh, and Rudolph and Charlie Brown too — Crown Ace Hardware in Corona del Mar is the go-to place for holiday lights.
Store manager Chad Spragg said the season is about to pick up, big-time.
“It’s better to get in early,” he said. “We usually end up selling out.”
This year, the hottest trend continues to be LED lights, which consume less energy and can be strung together safely in longer increments, Spragg said. Also new this year were the Rudolph, Charlie Brown and husky dogs, which are covered with fabric so they look great during the day and not just when illuminated at night.
Crown Ace also is selling lighted spheres, nets of lights, icicles, stars and bulbs of all colors and sizes. Spragg said they also stock everything from timers, extension cords, hooks and staple guns — all crucial to holiday decorating.
This weekend will be the busiest for holiday-light purchases, Spragg said, with next weekend being a strong second.
