•Use Certified Products: Only use lights that have been tested for safety by a nationally-recognized testing laboratory, such as UL or ETL/ITSNA. In order to avoid overheating, look for newer lights that feature thicker wiring and safety fuses.
•Check for Defects: If you are using lights that have been strung in the past, be sure to check them for broken or cracked sockets, frayed or bare wires, or loose connections. If anything is damaged, be sure to discard appropriately.
•Beware of Metallic Trees: Electric lights should never be used on metallic trees. The tree can become charged with electricity from faulty lights, and a person touching a branch could be electrocuted.
•Flick the Off Switch: Before you go to bed or leave the house, be sure to turn off all holiday lights inside and outside of your home. It only takes a matter of seconds for lights to short out and start a fire.
