Holiday lighting safety tips from Hydro One
It's time get into the festive
spirit and get your home
ready for the holidays!
Get your outdoor holiday
lights up safely with these
tips from Hydro One:
• Always use Canadian
Standards Association (CSA)
approved lights, cords, plugs
and sockets and are properly
marked for outdoor or
indoor use.
• Do not overload circuits.
Have no more than 1,400
watts on a circuit. If other
lights in the house dim when
the holiday lighting is turned
on or the plug is very hot after
unplugging it, your circuit is
overloaded. To figure out a
circuit's load, multiply the
number of bulbs by the watts
per bulb, and add any lamps,
appliances or other equip-
ment on the same circuit.
• Before you put light
strings on a shrub, tree or
your house, check for breaks
or signs of insulation deteri-
oration. Frayed cords or
loose connections indicate
that the wiring is poor.
Replace any defective sets.
• Never install lights with
the power on. Test lights
first, then unplug to install.
• Keep electrical connec-
tions off the ground. Use
eave clips or insulated sta-
ples, rather than nails and
tacks, to hold light strings in
place.
• Keep wiring clear of
metal parts such as orna-
mental railings and drain-
pipes, to prevent any risk of
shock from an electrical cur-
rent. Do not leave any light
sockets empty if you want
sections in your light string
unlit. This can create a fire
hazard or could be fatal if
someone touches the inside
of the empty socket. Instead
place a burned -out bulb in
the socket. This will not affect
the other lights on the string.
Looking to save energy
this holiday season? Make
the switch to Light Emitting
Diode (LED) holiday lights
and enjoy significant energy
and cost savings this winter.
According to Natural
Resources Canada, LEDs use
80% less energy than their
incandescent counterparts,
so now is the time to
upgrade your old incandes-
cent strings.
If you're still not sure, con-
sider this: incandescent
bulbs waste a lot of energy -
90% of the energy they con-
sume is used to heat the
bulb, while only 10% is used
for lighting. LEDs, by con-
trast, directly convert elec-
tricity to light without the
use of a filament or glass
bulb, resulting in less energy
loss through heat.
LED light strings also last
up to ten times longer than
incandescent light strings.
And because they don't have
moving parts, filaments or
glass, they're much more
durable and shock -resistant
than other light strings.
