What causes half a string of Christmas Lights to go out?

• <div><p>If only half of your string of Christmas lights is out, it likely means that you have a broken or loose bulb somewhere along the strand. That’s why we suggest inspecting and testing each bulb to ensure it’s still tight and functioning properly. Luckily, this problem is quickly solved with a DIY fix, such as replacing the bad bulb or repairing a damaged shunt.</p></div>

Q: How long does outdoor lighting repair typically take?

• <div><p>Repairs can usually be completed within a few hours, depending on the ease of access and the extent of the damage noted during the repairs.</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>

Q: What is the best way to power outdoor lights?

• <div><p>The easiest and best way to power your outdoor lights is with the use of outdoor outlets. Most building codes now require exterior outlets in homes, so you likely already have outdoor outlets available to plug into. However, you can have these outlets installed if your space doesn&rsquo;t currently include them.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between wet-rated and damp-rated lighting?

• <div><p>While wet-rated and damp-rated lighting is designed to handle contact with moisture, there&rsquo;s a difference between the two. Wet-rated lighting is safety-rated to be placed in areas with direct exposure to water, including your shower. Fixtures classed as wet-rated are made with waterproof seals to protect the filament and other electrical components from water and moisture. </p><p>Damp-rated fixtures can be used in places with some moisture contact, but not direct exposure. They don&rsquo;t have the same waterproof seals used in wet-rated fixtures. Damp-rated lighting can be used on your bathroom ceiling or along a wall outside of your shower.</p></div>
