Why do they put "for indoor or outdoor use only" on Christmas lights?

Answer 1

I guess they don't want you using them in outer space or underground.

Answer 2

so as which you don't get the sh*t bowled over out of you and you do not start up a hearth. If the lights are for indoor purely, then the wires at the instant are not insulated, that's had to apply electricity exterior. i don't think of i've got ever seen "exterior USE purely" until this is a powertool , yet not for Christmas lights. until it ability the lights are too a lot for use on a tree interior, like perchance they burn too warm.

Answer 3

To keep you from having an electrical fire or having the lights burn out right away. Inside lights won't work outside in the rain. And outdoor lights inside are too HOT.

Answer 4

I am sure there are idiots on this planet who still don't get it..so therefore, they have to put that on the box, so they at least have some sort of clue.

Answer 5

Haha! Probably because you wouldn't try to use them inside and outside at the same time!

Answer 6

some people might use them under water? yeah nevermind no one would be that dumb to put them in water.
or they might try to wear it? guess you cant wear lights. thats the only thing i could come up with

Answer 7

Go figure!

Because some idiot will sue them if they don't say it. Our society is entirely to "sue happy" anymore.

Happy New Year!

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 10
