Electrical Outlet Question
On Wed, 02 Dec 2009 18:06:28 -0800, Kate wrote:
I have my Christmas lights plugged into several outside GFCI electrical outlets. They do have waterproof covers on them, but with the lights being plugged into the outlet, I don't believe it is adequate coverage to protect it from the rain and snow. Would it be safe to simply tie a plastic bag around it? Any other ideas? Many thanks. Kate 1. You could put the CGFIs inside, and run cords through windows. 2. There are covers made to keep water out even with cords connected. 3. If you use bags, make sure the opening stays DOWN, otherwise you have water collectors. -- 23 days until the winter solstice celebration Mark Lloyd http://notstupid.us "How could you ask me to believe in God when there's absolutely no evidence that I can see?" -- Jodie Foster |
