Practicing Electrical Decoration Safety Outdoors This Halloween




We can't stress safety enough on Halloween. Most everyone is aware of safety with your trick-or-treaters, but very few take safety precautions with their outside decorating to make sure their visitors are safe. Invest in a few GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTERS! Wherever the main power outlets  are that you plug your outdoor decorations into, make sure you place one of these GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTERS at the outlet. It pretty much looks like a plug with a socket in it.
This will make sure that if there's any short in any line the power will be cut dead...better that than your guests. The electrical short may be because of water.... may be because a little kid is sticking his finger into a light socket... no matter. The device acts like a circuit breaker and ...uh umm...breaks the circuit. It can easily be reset. More easily than resetting one of your trick or treaters.
Practice Safety in your electrical decorations and effects this Halloween!
