You may know they are just for show but someone 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).
The following are examples of items that should be
checked before plugging in the set to the mains.
The exible cable and lampholders:
is the cable in good condition?
is it free from cuts, fraying and damage?
are the connections at each lampholder sound?
are the lampholders free from cracks or damage, that
might give access to the live cable or live contacts of the
lamps?
