General Safety Precautions

When using electrical products, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:

• Do not use seasonal products outdoors unless marked suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
• When products are used in outdoor applications, connect the product to a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupting (GFCI) outlet. If one is not provided, contact a qualified electrician for proper installation.
• This seasonal use product is not intended for permanent installation or use.
• Do not mount or place near gas or electric heaters, fireplaces, candles, or other similar sources of heat.
• Do not secure the wiring of the product with staples or nails, or place on sharp hooks or nails.
• Do not let lamps rest on the supply cord or on any wire.
• Unplug the product when leaving the house, when retiring for the night, or if left unattended.

Use and Care Instructions

Before using or reusing, inspect the product carefully. Discard any products that have cut, damaged, or frayed wire insulation or cords, cracks in the lampholders or enclosures, loose connections, or exposed copper wire.

When storing the product, carefully remove it from wherever it is placed (e.g., trees, branches, or bushes) to avoid any undue strain or stress on the product conductors, connections, and wires.

When not in use, store neatly in a cool, dry location protected from sunlight.

Seasonal and Holiday Lights - Introduction

This leaflet 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 state that outdoor lights should only be used outdoors.

• If young children are around, use Extra low voltage lights (24 or 12 Volts).
• For outdoor use, also use Extra low voltage lights unless you can ensure they are installed well out of everyone's reach.
• If using mains voltage lights outdoors, protect them and everyone else by using a plug-in RCD (Residual Current Device).

Electric lamps are much safer than candles. Choose electric lighting over candles for your tree or anywhere near it. While candles may be decorative, someone else might be tempted to light them. Opt for electric lighting.

If you have young people in the house, ensure you have a working smoke alarm and have tested it. This is essential for a happy holiday season.

Visual Inspections

New Seasonal and Holiday lighting sets should be checked and inspected in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions provided with the set.

Do not discard the box; keep it to store the lighting sets in, as it may contain information on buying replacement lamps.

Older sets, which may have been dismantled hastily after 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 the set into the mains:

The flexible 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?

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) and 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 identified by a white mark on the glass) with identical 'fused' lamps.

Guidance for Seasonal and Holiday Lighting Sets

Follow these and any other instructions provided by the manufacturer; it is for your safety.

1. Install the lighting chains so that there is easy access to the socket-outlet, allowing the lights to be turned off when you go out or go to bed. Never leave lighting chains on when you go out or go to bed.
2. Do not remove or insert lamps while the lighting chain is connected to the supply.
3. For series-connected lamps other than those in sealed lighting chains, replace failed lamps immediately with lamps of the same rated voltage and wattage to prevent overheating; this requirement does not apply to sealed lighting chains.
4. Do not connect the chain to the supply while it is in the packaging.
5. For series-connected lamps where fused lamps are used, do not replace a fused lamp with a non-fused lamp.
6. Ensure all lampholders are fitted with a lamp.
7. Ordinary lighting chains marked for indoor use shall not be used outdoors.
8. Lighting chains which rely on gaskets to provide protection against ingress of dust and moisture must not be used without all gaskets being in place.
9. Make sure to follow the markings regarding series and parallel connection of lighting strings.
10. Only replace 'fused' lamps (sometimes identified by a white mark on the glass) with identical 'fused' lamps.
11. For non-standard lamps (e.g., lamps of push-in type), replacement lamps must be of the same types as those delivered originally or a type specified by the manufacturer.
12. Do not attempt to replace non-replaceable lamps.
