CORE wishes users a safe and happy holiday! Here are some quick, easy tips that will protect users and their loved ones this season: Make sure the holiday/decorative lights – and all other bulbs – are LED. If users still have non-LED string lights, consider taking them to a local recycling company that accepts them. Have the heating system serviced to ensure it is operating safely and efficiently. Do not overload outlets and power strips with too many devices. For outdoor lights and other devices, use only ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlets. Stay clear of overhead lines and equipment when putting them up. Do not place cords under rugs or carpets or across high-traffic areas.
