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: What maintenance is needed for holiday lighting between seasons?

• <div><p>Between seasons, inspect cords for damage, replace burnt-out bulbs, and clean lighting fixtures to prevent dirt buildup. Proper storage in cool, dry conditions will extend the lights' lifespan and minimize repairs or replacements when redeployed.</p></div>

Q: How do you make a prelit Christmas tree light blink?

• <div><p>If you take home a pre-lit Christmas tree but want to spruce it up with blinking lights, don&rsquo;t worry, there&rsquo;s a simple solution. You can easily replace the light bulbs on the pre-lit tree with flashing bulbs. For a more subtle look, only replace some of the bulbs with flashing bulbs.</p></div>

Q: Do motion-sensor lights deter crime?

• <div><p>The majority of potential burglars are amateurs looking to make a quick buck after breaking and entering. By installing motion-sensor lights, alarm systems, and security cameras, throughout the home, there&rsquo;s a good chance you will deter crime on your property.</p></div>
