Safe Installation Practices
To ensure the safety and longevity of your decoration, follow these best practices:
- Inspect your lights for any damage before installing them.
- Use clips designed for LEDs to secure lights without harming surfaces.
- Avoid overloading electrical outlets; distribute the power load appropriately.
- Always plug lights into a GFCI outlet to reduce the risk of electrical hazards.
