Don’t add stress to your holiday season. Knowing how to properly use and hang lights could prevent injury or fire.
- Make sure your home’s electrical system can handle the load.
- Unplug lights or decorations before changing a bulb or other parts.
- Do not use cords or plugs that are damaged, frayed or cracked.
- Only use lights certified by a reputable testing lab.
In addition, consider LED lights when replacing old light strands. LEDs use 80-90% less energy than incandescent bulbs.
