Holiday Lights
LED outdoor and indoor lighting
Long-lasting, cool-touch LED lights last
approximately 200,000 hours, provide an 80 - 90 percent energy
savings over conventional holiday lighting and are available at
hardware chains and many other stores throughout the area.
Here are some tips to make it a safe as well
as a bright holiday
Only use outdoor rated lights outdoors and indoor rated
lights indoors.
Be sure your LED lights (or any lighting) are CSA listed
and approved for the intended use.
When you're putting up holiday lights, be particularly
careful when carrying your ladder. Even touching a ladder that
contacts a power line could be fatal.
Also, be sure you use an outdoor extension cord for all
outdoor lighting and discard cracked or discoloured extension
cords and lighting sets.
