are safe to use if simple checks are taken. It is obvious
but necessary to say, only use outdoor lights outdoors.
If young children are around use Extra low voltage lights
(24 or 12 Volts). Outdoors also use Extra low voltage
lights unless you are going to make sure they are
installed well out of reach of everyone. If you are going
to put mains voltage lights outdoors protect them and
everyone else by using a plug-in RCD. These are the
devices you need when using a lawnmower or hedge
trimmer. Electric lamps are much much safer than
candles, go electric, no candles on your tree or anywhere
near it. You may know they are just for show but someo-
ne else during the festivities might think lighting the
candles is a great idea. Go electric. Have you got young
people in the house? Have you a working smoke alarm?
Have you tested it? Go-on, do it now, you know it makes
sense. Then go and buy a battery, it is so very necessary
for a happy Holiday.
First the smoke alarm, then the fancy decorations!
Visual inspections
New Seasonal and Holiday lighting sets should be
checked and inspected in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions provided with the set.
Don't throw away the box, keep it to store the lighting
sets in, it may have information on buying replacement
lamps. Older sets, which may have been hurriedly
dismantled following the previous year's festivities and
stored for 12 months, need to be carefully checked for
any damage to the lamps (light bulbs), lampholders and
conductors (wires).
