Holiday decorations do’s and don’ts:
Learn how to keep lights cool, dry and twinkling.
Prevent overpowering: When hanging lights outside of the home or stringing lights
on the tree, it’s easy to overload the circuit by connecting too many light strands
together. Instead, use a power strip
o There is a limit to how many strands of lights you can link together end to
end. The best way to figure out the limit is to add the listed string
wattages together. The recommended maximum is about 210 watts. For
example, the EcoSmart Warm White LED Light Set
Plastic v. Metal: Only use plastic or plastic-coated fasteners and clips to hang holiday lights. Metallic fasteners, nails and staples can conduct electricity.
Power Down: Always unplug lights before leaving the house and before going to sleep. Use a 24-Hour Plug-In Basic Timer to automatically turn lights on or off.
Or you can plug your tree or lights into the Belkin WeMo Switch
Aiming High: Stay safe while hanging your decorations from the highest branch,
tallest perch or roofline.
