SEASONAL AND HOLIDAY LIGHTS
INTRODUCTION
This leaet provides guidance on the purchase,
inspection, installation and use of Seasonal and Holiday
lighting sets.
Modern Seasonal and Holiday lighting sets are safe
to use if simple checks are taken. It is obvious but
necessary to say, only use outdoor lights outdoors. If
young children are around use Extra low voltage lights
(24 or 12 Volts).
Outdoors also use Extra low voltage lights unless you are
going to make sure they are installed well out of reach
of everyone. If you are going to put mains voltage lights
outdoors protect them and everyone else by using a
plug-in RCD. These are the devices you need when using
a lawnmower or hedge trimmer.
Electric lamps are much much safer than candles, go
electric, no candles on your tree or anywhere near it.

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?
6AA-2289663-1
The lamps:
are they all in place, undamaged, properly screwed or
pushed in?
The plug/transformer
Check that the plug is not damaged.
Look for signs of overheating.
Check the fuse (if any), make sure it is the correct rating.
IF ANY DOUBT, HAVE THE SET CHECKED BY A QUALIFIED
ELECTRICIAN BEFORE USE OR SCRAP AND PURCHASE A
NEW SET.
Where the set is intended to be connected to the supply
via a 'plug-in transformer', only use the transformer
supplied with the set. Otherwise if the output voltage
does not match the voltage of the lamps overheating
may result.
Functional Tests
After the visual inspection and correcting any faults
found, including tightening of lamps and replacement
of broken or missing lamps, plug in and switch on the
lamp set. Replace any faulty lamps with ones of the
same voltage rating and manufacture, check the box for
details. Spare lamps are usually provided with the set.
Lamps should not be removed or installed with the
supply on.
Only replace 'fused' lamps (sometimes identied by a
white mark on the glass) with identical 'fused' lamps.

Installation on Christmas Tree
Christmas trees because of the pine oils, and particularly
after being in a heated room for a week or two, are very
ammable. Tree decorations may also be ammable
and should be kept clear of the lamps as far as possible.
Christmas trees should be mounted securely so that they
are unlikely to fall over, or be knocked over by children or
pets. They must be kept clear of heat sources, including
spot lamps and particularly CANDLES.
Take care when decorating the tree, use a stepladder if
the tree is tall and wear shoes. Many more accidents are
caused by treading on plugs and lamps in bare feet than
faulty electrical equipment.
