How to choose a garland

The primary parameter when choosing an electric garland is the degree of protection. It is indicated on the packaging:

• IP20 — indoor use only;
• IP44 — street decoration under a canopy;
• IP65, IP67 — outdoor use without a canopy in all weather conditions.

In a garland with IP67 protection, rubber insulation, and such a model is not afraid even of heavy rain. It is considered the safest. The insulation must be intact, especially at the connection to the plug or controller. The length of the free wire from the extreme light bulb to the plug is at least one and a half meters, otherwise it will be inconvenient to connect the festive lighting.

On the packaging of a quality garland there is always a text in Russian. The box always contains information about the manufacturer, the type of lamps, the total length of the garland, as well as the degree of protection. If a foreign text has a sticker with Russified text on top, this indicates that the product was brought into the country illegally and could be dangerous.

During the operation of the garland, the presence of any unpleasant odor is simply excluded. Burnt plastic smells like a product with formaldehydes, which is dangerous to health, not to mention its fire hazard — such lighting equipment cannot be used.

Test the product right in the store: plug it in, switch modes, make sure that every light is on.
