About this deal

The first step is to identify the problem. There are a few common problems that people have with Christmas lights:

You can avoid the stress of having your holiday lights blowing a fuse by hiring a professional holiday lighting company. Not only will this keep you from having to deal with the time-consuming and tedious hassle of broken Christmas lights, but they will also properly store your lights when the holiday season is over, so you don’t have to worry about any damaged lights next year. Another advantage of LEDs is that if one bulb fails it does not affect the rest, they will stay lit. A disadvantage is that LED bulbs cannot be replaced. Safety First Save the boxes they came in and reuse them at the end of the season to protect the individual strands. If you see a bulb that is visibly broken, you may have to recycle this strand of Christmas lights. You can also try to look for any bulbs that appear darker than other lights on the strand, which might indicate that one bulb is burned out. Removing the lights from the power supply is essential in changing the fuses in your Christmas lights. Once all the bulbs have been removed, you can disassemble the power supply and access the fuse itself. With this step completed successfully, you’ll soon have your Christmas lights shining brightly once again!Disconnect chains of light strands that exceed the manufacturer's recommendation. While you can connect several strings of lights together, there is a limit. Sometimes the limit is five strands, but other brands may recommend connecting fewer. Once you’ve located a blown Christmas light fuse, replacing it is usually straightforward. Simply remove it carefully from its holder and replace it with a new one with the same amperage rating (usually 3A). When it comes to Christmas lights, fuses are a common issue that can cause the entire string of lights to stop working. Fuses in Christmas lights are designed to protect the bulbs from electrical surges and overloading. If one bulb burns out or becomes faulty, the fuse will blow and prevent damage to other bulbs on the string. If you do miss your delivery, the courier will normally attempt delivery the next day or leave a card through your door so you can rearrange delivery on a day that is convenient for you.

It shouldn’t come as a complete surprise that strings of Christmas lights that are used for a fortnight or so and then stored as a tangled heap, perhaps in a damp loft, sometimes fail when they emerge the following year. Sometime in the near future you’ll venture into your dusty attic or musty garage and pull out a miserably tangled set of Christmas lights. As sure as Rudolph’s nose is red, one of those light strings won’t light up (if you ever manage to get them untangled in the first place). Millions will throw out their broken Christmas lights and buy new ones, but you will not. You are a strong, independent person. You will save Christmas (lights) this year. Install a timer to reduce how much power you use each day. Operating your Christmas lights for shorter durations will prevent overheating and give the circuit a chance to cool down. To locate the circuit breaker panel, it is usually installed in basements, garages, or utility rooms of residential properties. Open the panel and look for the switch associated with the lights. Ensure that the switch is in the “on” position. If it is in the “off” position, switch it off and then on again to reset it.

I’ve tried everything and a bulb or section is still not working

The tradition of hanging Christmas lights on trees originated in Germany in the 17th century. Initially, they used real candles, but the invention of electric lights made it much safer and more convenient. Additionally, blowouts can happen if you plug together several different kinds of lights. Various types of lighting often have a range of amp sizes, which is why chaining these differing types together typically creates power surges and blown fuses. Using the Wrong Type of Christmas Lights To extend the lifespan of your Christmas lights, it is recommended to replace damaged bulbs with spare ones of the same voltage rating. Leaving burnt-out bulbs in a string of working lights can place additional stress on the functioning bulbs and shorten their lifespan. By promptly replacing damaged bulbs, you can ensure a well-lit and aesthetically pleasing holiday display.

Did you know that the first electrical Christmas lights were invented by Thomas Edison in 1880? However, it wasn’t until 1917 that they were produced in mass quantities for the public to enjoy. If you decide to go with a professional service, they will not only decorate your home with lights in a way that won’t cause electrical problems, but, as we mentioned before, they will also put your lights away correctly, so you don’t need to worry about any issues next year. Use plastic light clips instead of staples when attaching lights to your siding or trim. Staples can pinch and potentially damage wires, and they’re harder to remove. As usual, you’re probably going to find a few burnt-out bulbs, half-lighting strands and possibly even a string or two that don’t light up at all.First, locate the fuse box, which is typically found near the circuit breaker panel. Open the fuse box carefully, as it may contain live circuits.

If you still encounter problems after replacing a blown fuse, there may be another issue with your Christmas lights such as broken bulbs or corroded wires. Troubleshooting these issues may require more extensive repairs or replacement of parts. No one wants their Christmas lights to blow a fuse. But if you connect too many lights to one power source, you'll probably overload the circuit, popping a breaker in your electrical panel in the process. Here's how an electrician would recommend installing your Christmas lights: We pride ourselves on offering a wide range of lights, in a variety of different styles. If you’re wondering where to start in finding your perfect lights, why not use our handy lights guide As tempting as it may be, don’t ignore one or two burnt-out lights, even on a long strand where they’re not as noticeable. Leaving non-functioning bulbs in a daisy chain of working lights can increase the electrical load on the remaining bulbs. This shortens the lifespan of the over-stressed bulbs as well as the fuse. Brighten up your home this festive season with our wide range of Christmas lights. Discover LED and energy-saving Christmas lights in classic and modern styles, including white or multi-coloured options, and battery-operated versions. These all provide low running costs, so you won't have to compromise on your Christmas fun.
