Outside Christmas Light Safety Tips

To help ensure the brightest and safest Christmas light display at your Warrington home, here are our top safety tips: 

• Use the correct light – To prevent electric shocks or shorting out the electrics, only use lights that are designed for outdoor use.
• Don’t connect lights together - Don’t be tempted to increase the length of a string of lights by connecting them together. Measure the space you are decorating and buy the correct length. 
• Check for damage – Before you climb a ladder and start hanging the lights, check them for damage. If you find they have loose wires or broken plugs, discard that set. Don’t forget to check they actually work too. There is nothing worse than stringing them all along your home and then switching them on to discover they don’t work anymore!
• Use a weatherproof RCD protected outside socket – As we mentioned above, this is the ultimate outdoor lighting safety tip.
