Designed to fail. Every year half the lights are out and it’s impossible to figure out which one it is.

We put a fricking man on the moon and we can’t make a string of lights that doesn’t constantly fail? They are basically a 1 year disposable item at this point.

Had to get that off my chest.

You are gonna have to buy new lights every year.

Also, it’s not even Veterans Day yet. Why TF are you putting Christmas stuff up

Troubleshooting these is not rocket surgery.

Even if I did toss them every year, it’s nothing compared to the amount of fireworks I use between Christmas Eve and New Year’s.

How is it you can put the lights away in the attic in January, 100% working, and then half of them don’t work the next year?

Christmas is a scam.

I hate every minute of it.

Halloween is by far the best holiday.

Thanksgiving is pretty high up on that list for me.

LED don't do this.
Also wrap your lights onto clothes hangers and put them in a tote. I have lights from the 90s still in use.
Hell I just threw out my c7 strings the year before last when I got new led.
