How to fix Christmas lights

Inevitably, each year when I take out my “new Christmas lights” at least one whole string seems to have gone bad.  So, I open the generously provided  replacement bulbs and begin my journey to determine which bulb has gone bad.  I will confess here that I have NEVER successfully found and replaced a bad christmas light bulb.   

This year, I decided to do some research, and found the following articles.

I haven’t tested the methods yet, but will update the post if I do.  

HASSAFT CURRENT BEST PRACTICE:

Buy new strings at the end of each season (on discount) — more than you will need for next year.  Next year, at least some of these will have magically gone bad, but you will have enough because of your extras!  Always keep a few strings ahead of the game, and you can’t lose!
