Electrical Safety: Stay Safe When Lighting Up Your Home
While the displays above are all about sparkle & spectacle, your own home’s Christmas lighting needs to focus on safety and compliance. As your trusted local electrician, Oceanside Services brings you key tips.
-
Outdoor lighting must use weather-rated cables and plugs (look for IP rating, weather proof connectors).
-
Ensure your circuit is protected by a Residual Current Device (RCD / safety switch). If overloaded, house fire risk increases.
-
Avoid ultra-cheap imports from unknown brands (for example, very low-cost sets seen on bargain sites) — they often don’t meet Australian standards for insulation, electrical integrity or thermal load.
-
Don’t daisy-chain too many lights/extensions on a single socket. Spread load across circuits if needed.
-
Switch off all lights when you’re away or sleeping. Many house fires around Christmas happen after hours when no one is watching.
-
Consider hiring a qualified electrician (such as Oceanside Services) for:
-
inspection of your switchboard,
-
verifying outdoor power points,
-
ensuring any decorative power circuits are correctly installed.
-
-
Use quality LED lighting (lower current draw, less heat). Leave at least 200 mm clearance from roof eaves unless installed with insulation-safe lamps.
-
Make sure your ladder, roof access and installation method is safe (non-conductive ladder, gloves, no risky wiring loops).
