Fairy lights, Christmas tree lights, multiple sets of lights and other kinds of decorative lights get used less often than your everyday lights, and they need more care.
Check the fuses are the right type - see the box for the maximum size of fuse you should use.
If bulbs blow, replace them.
Don't leave fairy lights on when you go out or when you go to sleep.
Don't let the bulbs touch anything that can burn easily, like paper.
Don't overload sockets.
