I've been using this on my tree all winter and have only had trouble with the remote control (the battery wasn't always making good contact). I randomly chose to use this for a lamp and I found that the lamp flickers. Then the outlet started sparking inside and outside the box. then smoked. I unplugged it before it caught fire but if it were on my tree and I wasn't in the room it could do serious damage to the house. BUYER BEWARE, NOT WORTH THE RISK.
