4. Hide or cover all wire and extension cords,

avoiding the hazard of people tripping over them.

5. Use an outdoor smart plug -

specifically one that is Matter Certified.

6. If not a smart plug,

use a power strip with dusk till dawn sensor.

7. Net Lights for bushes...

whoever invented this is a GODSEND

and a LIFESAVER!

8. Don’t plug too many items into the

same extension cord,

and definitely don’t daisy chain

multiple extension cords together.

WITH WEATHERPROOF COVERINGS

OVER THE PLUGS

You don’t want your house looking like a

graveyard of Disney characters.

onto your house. It looks cheap!
