Q: How do I stop my outdoor Christmas lights from shorting out?

• <div><p>If your lights are shorting out during rain storms or other winter events, you should probably replace them. These shorts indicate electrical issues that could cause serious hazards. Look for outdoor-rated lights with connectors made for rainy conditions to replace them. But if your Christmas lights are new and you want further protection, you can find weatherproof covers to add to the male-end connectors of your Christmas light strings. These can minimize the risk of shorts.</p></div>

Q: What are the cons of motion sensor lights?

• <div><p>Before investing in motion sensor lights, there are a couple of disadvantages worth noting. For starters, they&rsquo;re not as reliable as other forms of lighting. Motion sensor lights can be accidentally triggered by pets or wind, which can become a nuisance after a while. The opposite situation can occur, too, where they don&rsquo;t turn on when you need them to. </p></div>

Q: Do outdoor lights need to be on a GFCI?

• <div><p>The requirements for outdoor lighting will vary depending on the type of light, where it&rsquo;s located on the exterior of your home, and your local electrical code. Lights that come into contact with water (i.e. pool lights) will need to be on a GFCI, for instance. That being said, it&rsquo;s safest to have any outdoor light on GFCI because of the risk of moisture. A pro can give you more specific information for your unique circumstances.</p></div>

Q: What do you need to do for a Christmas light show?

• <div><p>To synchronize your Christmas show to music, you&rsquo;ll need the standard holiday lights, decorations, lawn ornaments, tools, and outdoor-rated extension cords. You&rsquo;ll also need a digital controller, computer, and software that allows you to create your musical show. </p></div>

Q: Are LED Christmas lights safe to leave up all year?

• <div><p>No, you should not leave LED Christmas lights up all year. While the LED lights themselves are very durable, their wiring and casings can be as vulnerable as any Christmas lights. They&rsquo;re subject to drying out, experiencing cold or sun damage that causes them to crack, and even damage caused by gnawing pests. (The same is true of incandescents.) If you want your lights to last the years that they&rsquo;re rated for, bring them inside after Christmas is over. </p></div>

Everything went great. I purchased a Big Deal through Angie's List and Dan contacted me via Angie's List message right away to arrange a time. Dan contacted me to let me know he was running a few minutes late on the day of the install, which I thought was very professional. When Dan arrived, he...

I contacted Gibbons on Monday, and was able to schedule a visit for the next day between 1-3. I got a call at about 1:00 saying that they were on their way. The electrician showed up, I explained the problem, that the lights would sometimes come on and then not work again for long stretches. He...
