wear New Year’s Eve and quick and easy, it’s also figure

yourself?’’ When you say yes, the
feeling is wonderful.

is brand new, is very soft.

Replace bulbs

when
necessary

WHEN CHOOSING lights for in-
door displays be sure to use indoor
lights, says the Canadian Stan-
dards Association.

When a bulb in a Christmas tree
light string or electrically lit deco-
ration burns out, replace the bulb
as soon as possible. If you don’t,
the other bulbs may burn out at a
higher than normal temperature.

Make certain you choose a
replacement bulb with the correct
wattage and voltage. The light str-
ing package contains a marking to
tell consumers which bulbs to use.

Effective Jan. 1 this year an
amendment to the standard made
it mandatory for manufacturers to
attach caution levels to all midg-
et-base Christmas tree light strings
and units. The labels tell the con-
sumer what voltage to look for
when purchasing replacement
bulbs.

Look for this label before you
look for a replacement bulb, the

CSA says.
