I bought 5 sets of GE Pro-Line Commercial Grade 300ct Icicle lights from Lowes last year. Worked fine all year.
Hung them up this year and 1 set has a section that is out and wont light. This section is out, but on either side it does light up, which seems weird to me.
Could this be b/c of a burnt bulb? Even though part of the set does light?
Any ideas?
I can't return them b/c of course, this particular kind is no where to be found this year.

Hung them up before plugging them up and checking them?.. Rookie move

Fuse or bulb.

If it's just one section of a string, it shouldn't be the fuse.

Some of the newer icicle lights work with a burned out or broken bulb, but a section won't light if an entire bulb is missing or if a bulb base is loose/not plugged in tightly/has poor electrical contact.

Good luck. I don't envy your predicament.
