Diwali lighting and electricity safety notice for your society
During Diwali, almost every flat puts up serial lights, and the committee usually lights up the gate, lobby and facade too. The result is a few predictable problems: overloaded sockets, extension boards running across corridors, cheap lights left on all night, and the common meter tripping on the busiest evening. Fire departments warn every year about electrical short circuits during the festival. A short notice before Diwali (Sunday, 8 November 2026) sets simple rules for residents and for the society's own decoration.
What the notice should cover
- Balcony and window lights: use certified (ISI marked) lights, no damaged wires, and plug them only into your own flat's sockets.
- No wires across common areas: no extension boards or cables through corridors, staircases or lift lobbies.
- Common meter: residents may not draw power from common-area points; the society's own decoration is on a separate, checked circuit.
- Switch-off time: decorative lights off by a set hour at night and when the flat is empty.
- Distance from fabric and crackers: lights away from curtains, dry decorations and the cracker area.
- Electrician and emergency contact: the society electrician's number, and where the main switch and fire extinguishers are.
The decoration, safety and firecracker timing notices for the same week are in the free Diwali notice generator.
