Burn, burn clearly, so as not to go out - why do they sniff a garland before buying and how to choose a safe Christmas decoration

Creating a magical New Year atmosphere is impossible without colored lights. In addition to the appearance, it is important to remember the quality of the garland, since the safety of use depends on it.

Well, Christmas tree, burn!

The holiday weekend is getting closer, and with them the chores associated with preparing for the beginning of the new year. Experts have compiled a list that will help you get a beautiful and reliable garland:

· Pay attention to the plug first. It should be made of dense material and have a traditional shape.

· Also choose a dense wire, inspect the joint with the plug for small cracks, cuts, breaks. Remember, a quality garland does not give off a strong, unpleasant odor.

· On the cover of the power controller unit, you can find the necessary information that will help you choose the right product for the type. For example, a garland with a protection level of IP44 and higher is suitable for decorating facades and placing on the street.

· The length of the garland for the Christmas tree should be approximately 3 times the height of the tree. If you plan to decorate the walls, also take with a margin and taking into account the placement of the sockets so that there is no tension when plugged into the power grid.

· The bulbs in a reliable product hold firmly and do not stagger, the connection points with the wires, as in the case of the plug, must not be damaged.

· Read the label carefully. From it, you can find out the permissible places of use (for example, "not for a Christmas tree", "allowed to use outdoors", etc.), the presence of spare bulbs, the length and number of lights.

My choice is a garland curtain

It is not the first year that I have chosen garland curtains to decorate windows, walls and a Christmas tree. The model I bought features a sturdy plug and reliable wires.

In the upper right corner of the winter holidays attribute there is an adapter for connecting another similar product.

Thus, by connecting 3-4 curtains, you can decorate the entire wall. IP44 degree of protection allows you to use it on a balcony or decorate a Christmas tree in the yard. Of the "minuses" I can only note a couple of burned out bulbs for 2 years of use.
