Have Sfe4 NSS"" you investigated - " newer lights that burn cooler and safer, and use less electricity electric-ity than some of the older ones? Test your lights before mounting them on your tree or house. Many lights for indoor use on trees are rated 7 watts each, and no more than 85 such lights should be connected to a single outlet. The new pinpoint "mini" lights use very low wattages (about 18-20 watts for a full string of 30 to 50 bulbs) and it is unlikely that the average homeowner home-owner would put enough on a tree to overload a circuit. OCTOPUS OUTLETS Have you any of those "octopus" "octo-pus" outlets around the house. . . the ones with too many appliances ap-pliances plugged into one circuit? Never overload electrical circuits; use proper size fuses. Overloaded circuits are a fire hazard. iff |
