Next time you aim to do your own electrical work on your next lighting project, make sure you make safety a priority. If you find that you need to access the main electrical line leading into your home, be certain you know how to determine the appropriate depth and location of the lines before you attempt to dig them up. On average over 140 people die each year due to working on or around electrical lines in their homes.
If you need help determining the location of your electrical lines, every state in US has a hotline that can be used to get in touch with a utility location service company. They can send out a professional that can locate your underground electrical line at no charge.
