Fundamentals of Christmas Tree Lighting


  1. Never connect cords of different number of Christmas tree lights. This is the number #1 mistake most people make when using Christmas lighting both interior and exterior. Example: Do not connect a 100 Christmas light set into a 50 Christmas light set, the result will be that the 50 Christmas tree light set will burn out prematurely. Rule to remember Christmas tree lights demand segregation. Examples: 100 Christmas tree lights with 100 Christmas tree lights, 50 Christmas tree lights with 50 Christmas tree lights, 35 Christmas tree lights with 35 Christmas tree lights, etc... Never integrate different Christmas light bulb count light sets. Measure a set of Christmas lights by bulb count.
  2. Do not overload extension cords. A regular extension cord, 9’ long with a three plug receptacle will handle 3 Christmas light sets per plug receptacle, 2 plug receptacles on the front, 1 plug receptacle on the back. Extension cord plugs will have a fuse.
  3. You can vary Christmas light sets with different number of Christmas lights on an extension cord, but not in the same individual plug receptacle outlet. Example: one plug receptacle could have three 100 Christmas light sets, the other plug receptacle could have three 50 Christmas light sets, while the third plug receptacle could have three 35 Christmas tree light sets. Never mix Christmas tree light sets per plug receptacle.
