SEASONAL AND HOLIDAY LIGHTS
INTRODUCTION
This leaflet provides guidance on the
purchase, inspection, installation and
use of Seasonal and Holiday lighting
sets.
Outdoors also use Extra low voltage
lights unless you are going to make
sure they are installed well out of
reach of everyone. If you are going
to put mains voltage lights outdoors
protect them and everyone else by
using a plug-in RCD. These are the
devices you need when using a lawnmower or hedge trimmer.
Electric lamps are much much safer
than candles, go electric, no candles
on your tree or anywhere near it. You
may know they are just for show but
someone else during the festivities
might think lighting the candles is a
great idea. Go electric.
Have you got young people in the
house? Have you a working smoke
alarm? Have you tested it? Go-on,
do it now, you know it makes sense.
Then go and buy a battery, it is so
very necessary for a happy Holiday.
First the smoke alarm, then the fancy
decorations!
Modern Seasonal and Holiday lighting
sets are safe to use if simple checks
are taken. It is obvious but necessary
to say, only use outdoor lights outdoors. If young children are around
use Extra low voltage lights (24 or 12
Volts).

Visual inspections
New Seasonal and Holiday lighting
sets should be checked and inspected
in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions provided with the
set.
Don’t throw away the box, keep it to
store the lighting sets in, it may have
information on buying replacement
lamps.
Older sets, which may have been hurriedly dismantled following 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 in the set to 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), 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.

ENGLISH
Guidance for Seasonal and Holiday
lighting sets.
Follow these and any other instruction provided by the manufacturer, it
is for your safety.
1. Install the lighting chains so that
there is easy access to the socket-outlet so that the lights can 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 by
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 packing.
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 nonreplaceable lamps.
