I am setting up my lights and half of the lights on the strand work, and the half doesnt't, whats up with that? and is there anything i can do fix it without buying a new one?
When that happens to me,I push in each bulb,and check each bulb in that section.I always find one broke or pulled out...and replace it.
I had a type of. It wasnt fake merchandising, it incredibly lights furniture up if purely one bulb is incorrect. although if there is extra advantageous than one defective bulb, it wont do away with darkness from anymore. substitute bulbs, you ought to use the right style, not purely a glance alike. AFter a pair of years of fidgeting with the easy bulbs, I threw it out..BTW, you ought to rearrange the two wires on those bulbs so that they are going to touch the mettalic lining interior the caps. do not go the wires. It replaced right into a circa 90s christmas easy and that i'm hoping we are speaking with regards to the comparable element.
Many of the newer strands of 50 or more lights are set on 2 different circuits in the string... Look at the plugs at the end, one of them will have a small sliding piece on it, slide it open and you will find 2 small fuses inside... look at the fuses carefully if either looks smoky inside or has a char mark replace it... If that doesn't fix the lights you need to go through the bulbs in the secion that's not light one by one ... Checking for bulb wires misaligned and damaged, missing or blown bulbs... The easiest way to do this is to plug in the strand of lights, start at an end of the dark section pull each bulb (one by one) checking the wires and the bulb pull a working bulb out of the light section and replace with the bulb from the dark section if the light section lights that wasn't the problem bulb.... Stick the bulb from the light section into the dark section mpty hole and move on to the next one... Repeat until you find the problem... Replace that bulb and bboth sides of the straind are good... (It's a process of elimination so it will take some time :( )
either one light is lose or broken...you will have to check all lights that are not lite
