Be Cautious When Installing Exterior Lighting
- Always use a good secure ladder when installing your outdoor lights
- Before installing always check that all lights work correctly
- Make sure your lights are turned off when you leave the house or when you go to bed at night
- When using extension leads make sure they are rated outdoor use
- Always keep extension cords neatly placed and taped across walk ways as you don’t want your garden to be a hazard
- Always choose waterproof lights
- Never use indoor lights externally
- Ensure outdoor trees with Christmas lights are not to near power lines
