Are large cool burning lights (C7) safe for artificial xmas trees?

Yes,...or if it hits a tree it can split it down the middle, and should you be in it's path it will kill you more often than not; though, I have read that a few people have been hit more than once and survived; however, their clothing, shoes, etc. were burned.  For the people fortunate enough to have survived a lightening strike,... seems it just wasn't there time to die,...pass on,..meet their maker,...!  Lightening is facinating to watch, but do so from a safe place.  Inside a car is safe because, as you stated, the "rubber" tires provide insulation.\nVery powerful, this thing called lightening!

Its been a long time since Regent St and Oxford St had any decent lights. They should take a lesson from St Christophers Place, up by Selfridges. they always do fantastic lights.\nDo you remember the lasers that went down Oxford Street, back in the 70's?

Lighten up on the Christmas tree.  I don't think it will create a hostile environment unless someone (like you) makes it so.  Do you plan not to shop anywhere that Christmas trees are displayed?  Good luck with that!

hypothetically yes. suppose there r high tension electric wires & due to dew electric current passed in air & causes a fire on some paper, trees, oil etc.

Yes, put a lightening rod on your barn, home, or skyscraper.  When the lightening bolt strikes, there will be an electric current of MANY amps from the top of the lightening rod to the earth where it's grounded.  At some point in the circuit, put a metallic conductor parallel to the lightening rod.   By Faraday's Law, a voltage will be induced in your conductor.  Discharge this into a capacitor (possibly a very LARGE one) and you have stored the energy. \nThere are some serious problems with heat melting the conductors, safety, etc, but those are engineering problems.

Before you set it up, make sure to cut a couple of inches off the bottom of the trunk.  This exposes non-sealed wood which will absorb water better.  Some say to use aspirin or sugar in the water, but the best advice is to keep enough water in the pan so that the tree can absorb it.  The first week it will absorb the most, with the rate of consumption reducing thereafter.\n\nDon't set up your tree too close to heat vents, radiators, or fireplaces.  The extra heat from these sources dry out the needles and can reduce the enjoyable lifespan of it.  Also, in extreme circumstances, they can cause a fire hazard.\n\nUse low-heat lights - the mini kind work pretty well, and don't overload the circuit with too many strings hooked together.\n\nEnjoy, and Merry Christmas!

yes i agree about the blow ups it should be no more then 2 if that...\nAnd people do put the lights up way too early i put mine up the weekend after thanksgiving every year.... I hate it also when people leave their christmas lights up all YEAR long !!!!

If you use the mini fairy type of outside lights the cost will be minimal. Probably no more than 2-3 dollars for the next month. Get creative! Do some large bushes or small trees! Have a Great holiday! ;-)=

A Christmas tree, assuming its dry is extremely flammable. Since Christmas trees are usually some type of conifer, there is a very high sap content, and therefore very flammable.

My tree gets covered in hundreds of decorations. We get some new ones each year plus some that I inherited from my tree as a kid and the ones my own kids have made over the years. Keep them spaced and even and you'll be fine. Hope you have a very Merry Christmas, remembering that it's the spirit of the season, sharing and giving, not just of gifts but of ourselves.It's not about stressing over having everything perfect.

If you trust yourself not to burn the place down, you could light some candles. The flame will burn the carbon particles in the smoke and make it clear up quicker.

Voltage drops for multiple lighting systems are usually handled by using 277 volt AC. \n\nThe multicore cable is something I have no working knowledge on.  Sorry better to say so than to BS you.

1.First of all it is cheaper then the standard  lightbulb. I use it all the time instead of the standard filament bulbs that use the wire to heat up. \n\n2. It uses your power (electricity) to move Mercury vapor in argon or neon.\n\n3.  Did you know that that type of light does not stay on steady? It makes many many  blinks too fast for your eye to catch. I tried experimenting with using  a "fan". Only way to fully see the  blinks very well is when it is reaching end of its life.\n\n4. A modified version you could use to grow  plants. But it is not your standard "flourescent" light.\n\nYou could try (likely) to check howstuffworks because if I would explain would run out of space.\n\nWord of caution as always: Never attempt to open one flourescent up it will explode. It will release  Gas and could be more dangerous if you  break it near yourself then a standard  bulb!\n\nI LOVE IT we have brains on Q /A today!  Now  that could be used on the message boards too.

Only if you're paranoid. There's more chance of being struck by lightning than getting a virus on a mac.

That depends.  I need a little more info.  Are they common area lights?  Does anyone else benefit from them?  Usually the answer is no he can't.
