Holiday lights bring warmth and cheer to the season, but overloaded outlets and frayed wires can quickly turn festive décor into a hazard. Here’s how to decorate safely:
1. **Use outdoor-rated lights and extension cords.** Indoor lights are not weatherproof.
2. **Check for damaged wires.** Replace any strand with frayed or exposed wiring.
3. **Don’t daisy-chain too many strings.** Most light sets can be safely connected up to three strands.
4. **Turn lights off overnight.** Use a timer or smart plug for convenience.
5. **Distribute the load.** Plug lights into different outlets to prevent overloading one circuit.
Safe decorating helps protect your home and keeps your holidays bright without risking an electrical fire.
