Title: The Christmas Light Thread...
Post by: GEsoftwhite100watts on December 14, 2012, 11:33:20 PM
So what are your Christmas light repair stories?
I have many, most involving repairing mini-lights (it can be done, just requires patience and a multimeter and tons of spare fuses/bulbs is helpful). Most of my Christmas lights are secondhand and many don't work but I have plenty of parts then...
I've also had lots of experience with the C7/C9 lights, and have noticed replacing bulbs (which are getting less common) is often a daily thing. Have you ever seen the filament on those short and get SUPER bright before the bulb dies?
