Q: Should outdoor lights be on GFCI?

• <div><p>Yes, the outdoors is one of the areas where GFCI is always required. The receptacles used outdoors must have a ground-fault circuit interrupter, or GFCI, for safety reasons. Not only does GFCI make it safer for operation even in wet locations, including bathrooms, outdoors, basements, and other areas, but also they&rsquo;ll automatically trip if there&rsquo;s an imbalance in the circuit, keeping you safe from electrocution and decreasing the risk of an electrical fire.</p></div>

Q: What are the signs that outdoor lighting needs immediate repair?

• <div><p>Flickering lights, intermittent outages, or physical damage to fixtures signal immediate repair to avoid electrical hazards.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between wet-rated and damp-rated lighting?

• <div><p>While wet-rated and damp-rated lighting is designed to handle contact with moisture, there&rsquo;s a difference between the two. Wet-rated lighting is safety-rated to be placed in areas with direct exposure to water, including your shower.

Q: What do you need to do for a Christmas light show?
