Holiday Lighting Tips from the Building Department
The holiday season is upon us and with that comes home holiday decorating. The festive lights, although pretty, have some associated risks you should be mindful of. When purchasing holiday lights check the packaging for the UL listing for indoor or outdoor use, use only as directed, and only purchase extension cords that are UL listed as well. Be careful to not overload power strips or receptacles, this can cause overheating or even a short circuit!
