This is especially true for holiday lights, since lights in poor condition can cause fires. When you’re inspecting the lights, keep an eye out for the following:
Cracked, frayed, or bare wires
Broken or cracked sockets
Loose connections
Bare spots
Exposed insulation from the wires
Wires with excessive kinking
If your lights show signs of any of the above items, it’s time to recycle them. Recycling and replacing your lights will help keep your family safe during the holiday season and give you peace of mind.
