One thing is sure, there is no guarantee that lights won't blow no matter what the manufacturer says. As usual it is more trouble that you would think with lights that can blow for many reasons. Electrical surges from your power company can also blow lights.Ī surge protector will prevent this. You must come from a plug that does not string over five strings at once or you will blow some lights. There must be a problem with the wire somewhere between the last bulb that lights and the first bulb that doesn't? Any ideas? I replaced all the bulbs and fuses in the plug, to no avail. All 50 bulbs are black near the filament. About half of one strand on the tree is burned out. When I cut the wires to I then connect both hot and return together? Signed dazed and confused? This tells me that inside the female plug the hot and return must connect to make the circuit when no second string is used?
CHRISTMAS LIGHTS OUT HALF STRAND FULL
While the hot wires go from bulb to bulb (series) the return wire runs the full length from male to female plug.
I am dealing with three wires: two hot (connect to 50 percent each of the bulbs) and one return. i need to take a 100 mini bulb light string with an end to end plug and cut it in half and eliminate the female plug. You are better off purchasing a set of 50.
January 6, and confused: Before you even consider cutting the string in half, the load will be increased, increasing the voltage and will blow some lights. If you place one light in the first or third string it lights. I have removed all the lights from their sockets. The string of non lit lights is in the middle of three sets. The lights are permanently tied to a Christmas tree. I have a problem with a string of lights. Just wanted to say thanks so much, this info helped me answer a question on my science assignment which i was really stuck on. The manufacturer decided to put an empty wire fake a parallel connection. I'm trying to find a bad bulb on a supposedly parallel christmas tree. Could this be a function of what's in the box? I've also checked the fuses, to no avail. I can't open it because it has screws with a unique head. Each string has a small plastic box attached. We have an artificial tree with lights that don't go out, even if you remove a bulb. A few LED bars and pars to light everything and we were set.Awesome site, thanks. I taped bricks to the hoops to keep this from happening. Eventually it will want to pull the hoop bases off the ground. You have to make sure your spacing and tension remain even the whole way around. Then, taking white yarn, we tied to the hoop base and with someone on a ladder, fed the yarn through the bottom loop back to the hanging D ring and back down through the hoop. Connected with irrigation tube couplers to make 2 6 foot diameter and the center 8ft diameter. Strung white Christmas lights.īases were made from irrigation tubing to create hoops. Then they were potted in a 5 gallon bucket with half a bag of quikrete. While painting, someone followed behind with large flake silver glitter which made the trees sparkle. They were each painted with flat white spray paint.
Cody Sifford from Pawleys Island Community Church in Pawleys Island, SC brings us this awesome Christmas look.įrom Cody: This was our Christmas-season set.įor the real trees, these are actually branches off of larger trees that were in abundant supply thanks to a recent hurricane.
