Holiday Lights: Inspect holiday lights each year for frayed wires, bare spots or broken sockets before putting them up. Remember to turn off holiday lights before leaving the home or going to bed. Counterfeit Electronics: Christmas lights are the perfect product for counterfeiting – high volume and low manufacturing cost.
