Step 7Lighting the Downstairs Window
You'll have to figure out what's best for your application, but this worked great for me.
I installed 9 cup hooks (5 between the windows at the top and 1 in each corner. String 2 sets of orange mini-lights around the perimeter of the window keeping in mind where you will plug them in. Connect the second set into the end of the first set. The lights can rest on the sill but keep them tucked up close to the window so the bulbs can't be seen from outside.
My vertical blinds are 20 inches from the center of the window and a lot of light was lost so I added two more packages of lights on the window sill and the effect was much better.
These extra lights are plugged one into the other. A short extension cord connects them to the back of the perimeter light plug. When I plug in the perimeter lights, all four sets light up.
