About this deal

If you have the holiday spirit but don’t have the time or energy to address holiday lighting issues, your local Mr. Amen - low voltage, and the bulbs aren't a fire hazard, just make sure the power supply is CE / isn't getting too hot. If it blows again, think yourself lucky you didn't just leave the blown bulb in place and soldier on without. Failing that, get a 12v supply and remove and test each bulb in sequence, starting with the fused ones first. When the lamps are in service keep your eye on them as this lamp like the ones you already have normally fail to a short circuit.

Electric franchise locations operate in compliance with licensing and trade requirements, which may vary across states, counties, municipalities, provinces, or other local jurisdictions. Lethal if you crack a bulb or remove one and stick something metal into the socket :eek: Also they eat electricity compared to the LED ones. The draw back is that the 12V dropped across the failed bulb is now shared between the other 19 bulbs in the set.Seriously, they are designed to be the weak link in the chain to protect the rest of the circuit and they should be replaced like for like.

A non contact tester might tell you where along the set, that the bulb, or at least the first one (if more than one) has failed. They mention that the fuse bulbs just kept blowing lights out, and they burn out too fast when used with their lights. The National Fire Protection Association notes that home fire rates increase significantly during the winter, and holiday lighting plays a major role in this increased risk. Fuses prevent this from happening by opening the circuit (AKA blowing) whenever the current surpasses a safe level.These arrived very quickly but for some reason two of the bulbs did not work, so ended up with the packs of white and clear ones. Its likely they are all in parallel for christmas tree LED strings, and so one LED failure would leave the rest working, unless the failure is a short circuit, in which case the whole set would be affected, along with the controller/power supply. True, but they still haven't perfected that nice warm white light that a decent set of white bulbs gives.
