Some of those LED strands are not replaceable. So if one bulb is out, the whole strand needs to be replaced.

Do what the "pros" do and buy bulk c7/c9 line. Then buy LED c7/c9 bulbs. You basically make your own strands. Very easy. Just put mine up along the roof line for the 3rd year in a row with maybe 2 bad bulbs so far.

Now, the mini lights do suck and no real fix for those. Just have to buy new strands every once in awhile. LED lasts longer though.

If I ain’t cursing, it ain’t Christmas decorations time.

Nothing like fighting lights, bumping head on attic rafters and looking for but not finding the box with the kids’ school-made ornaments.

I’ve always been able to fix them in 10 minutes or less with one of the testers. Not that hard baw.

Well you are correct but after reading this post thread what if I told all you young ones I have boxes of old bulb lights that still work from the late 70's early 80's ?

I don't use them much as the boxes are heavy to get out of the attic but when I do take them out they all work.

We do not use them in the house for fire hazard reasons.

Just go buy new lights.
