Only if total wattage stays under 60% of the board rating. A 6A board holds ~1,300W. 10 sets of series lights at 50W each is 500W — safe. Add another 500W of iron or heater and you cross the limit.
LED — 90% less power, no heat, no fire risk. A 20-metre LED string draws 4–8W vs 60–100W for incandescent. LED sets cost ₹200–₹600 for a 20m string.
