Electrician in Fort Mill advises on setting up Halloween and other holiday light displays
Electrician is an important part of setting up an elaborate Halloween or Christmas display of lights. You want to make sure your light display is safe and all working correctly. If you want to set up a Halloween display in your Indian Land yard, it is getting to be about the right time to do that, and you may want a few tips from electricians on how to do this safely. It is not that different from setting up elaborate Christmas displays, if you do that. Make sure your garden hoses are all rolled up and the automatic sprinklers have been turned off. You should use some form of safe lights to give your yard a spooky ambience, but it should not be dimmer than usual — especially since children will be walking through your yard a lot to get to your front door.
If you have a sound system providing scary noises or music, you will want to make sure the equipment and the electrical connections are not subject to bad weather. You will also want to be able to turn everything off from the inside once you are done handing out candy. If your setup is elaborate enough, you may want to have an electrician look it over. Make sure that whatever existing outlets you are using to power your display are adequate —overburdened outlets are a frequent cause of electrical fires.
Other ways electricians could help you
Electricians who know about outdoor lighting design can help you light your Waxhaw yard and deck at other times of year. The key is to create maximum visibility in the parts of your yard you will be using after dark without using too much light or spoiling your night vision, and to make the rest of your yard look good with a minimum of light. The light should be just enough to let me see what you are eating and drinking and the faces of your friends. Make sure that as little light as possible is shining straight up into the sky.
Make sure your deck and the paths to and from your door are easy to find your way around on. Try shining lights against the walls and floor of your home and deck — especially the floor of the deck, so everyone can see where they are putting their feet.
