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.
