Q: Can I repair a lamp myself?

• <div><p>Simple repairs like replacing bulbs can be DIY projects, but professionals should handle significant electrical repairs to ensure safety and compliance with electrical standards.</p></div>

Q: How can you tell which Christmas light is burned without a tester?

• <div><p>If you need to visually inspect your Christmas lights to determine which are good and which need replacement, there are a few things to look for. First, look for discoloration, such as a dark spot or two on the inside of the glass. The spot is an indication of a burnt filament. Also, look for missing filaments, cracked bulb glass, and broken sockets.</p></div>

Q: Should outdoor lights be on GFCI?

• <div><p>Yes, the outdoors is one of the areas where GFCI is always required. The receptacles used outdoors must have a ground-fault circuit interrupter, or GFCI, for safety reasons. Not only does GFCI make it safer for operation even in wet locations, including bathrooms, outdoors, basements, and other areas, but also they&rsquo;ll automatically trip if there&rsquo;s an imbalance in the circuit, keeping you safe from electrocution and decreasing the risk of an electrical fire.</p></div>

Q: How long do outdoor lights last?

• <div><p>Modern outdoor light fixtures are waterproof and weather resistant, and, provided they&rsquo;re installed correctly and by a professional, the fixture and wiring can last for 20 to 30 years or more. The lifespan will depend largely on the quality of the fixture. The lifespan of the bulb will depend on the type of light you install:</p><ul><li><p>CFL bulb (for sustained use): 15,000 hours</p></li><li><p>Halogen bulb (mostly for security): 2,000 hours</p></li><li><p>HID bulbs (for security): 12,000 hours</p></li><li><p>Incandescent bulb: 1,000 hours</p></li><li><p>LED bulb: 50,000 hours</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: What are common electrical repairs or installations done by professionals?

• <div><p>Installations include new light fixtures, upgraded panels, fixed outlets, and tracked wiring continuity.</p></div>
