To change flashing Christmas lights to steady, locate the controller box usually attached to the lights. Look for a button or switch labeled with different modes. Press the button until you find the steady or continuous mode. If your lights do not have a controller box, inspect each bulb socket for a unique or red-tipped bulb marked 'flasher' and replace it with a standard bulb to maintain a steady light.
