![]() I waited for the German authorities to arrest me for this infraction/violation, but they must have been busy elsewhere. From a distance you didn't notice the bulb was out. You can stuff tin foil in the socket with the burned out bulb and have all the other lights in the string light up with minimally larger voltage on each bulb. One I worked on had 3 parallel strings of 19 lamps each, in series, each string powered by ~24vac, 57 bulbs total. Taking the tree down and back to the store would be a huge pain. It ticks me off because I have a fully decorated tree and now experiencing a weird problem after it was working fine for several days and it hasn't been touched. Any idea as to what has happened to this particular socket? I looked down in the socket and it looks exactly the same as one that works normally. I tried replacing the bulb with the spares that came in the box, same effect after 15 to 20 minutes. Therefore, I do not understand how a light in the middle of the strand can be that much brighter and burn out so fast when the others look fine. After about 20 minutes, it blew out and I was back to the same problem. The strange thing is that I noticed the bulb burns much brighter (and a little hotter) than any other bulbs on the same strand. After about the 15th try, I hit the bulb that was causing the issue, and the entire strand lit up again. Well this obviously is not the case because there is a single strand on the top portion and a little over half of those lights are not working now.įast forward to today - I started pulling each bulb that was not working and inserting a working bulb (that came from another strand on the same tree). The box says that if a bulb is blown or even removed, that the rest of the strand should remain lit. Over the weekend, I noticed the top part only had about half of its lights still lit. ![]() ![]() I bought a pre-lit tree a few weeks ago and it had been working just fine. ![]()
