Icicles and cascades

Light that falls instead of outlining. Icicles hang from the eaves in staggered drops, curtain lights make walls of light, and cascade tubes send light trickling down through the branches.

Icicle lights are the classic way to soften a roofline. Each set mixes drops of different lengths, from about 3 to 19 inches, so the edge reads as naturally uneven rather than as a fringe. They can stand alone or hang just below a line of C9 bulbs for a layered look: a crisp edge with a soft drop beneath it.

For larger walls of light, curtain lights hang in long vertical strands. Cascade tubes add movement, with light running down each tube like falling snow.

How we install it

  • Icicles hung level along the eave, with the drop pattern kept consistent from one set to the next.
  • Layered with roofline bulbs where the architecture calls for it.
  • Removed in January along with the rest of the display.

Questions

Icicles or a straight roofline?
It depends on the architecture. Icicles suit long, level eaves and traditional houses. Strong modern lines often look better with a single straight row of bulbs. Layering the two is common.
Can cascade tubes go anywhere?
They work best hanging freely from branches, eaves or a pergola, where the falling effect can be seen against the dark.
