VIDEOClick to see full answer. Keeping this in consideration, why does only half a string of lights work?Don’t pull too hard on the wires. A loose bulb, broken socket or frayed wire is sometimes all it takes for the strand to malfunction. After taking down the lights, plug them in before storing them, to make sure they still work. The only tool you’ll need is a bulb tester in order to know how to fix Christmas lights.One may also ask, why are there 3 wires on Christmas lights? This extra wire allows current to bypass a burned out bulb and keep the rest going. Removing a bulb (or twisting it until the wires break) removes the shunt as well, so they all go out. These lights have three wires to carry electricity from end to end so that strings of lights can be daisy-chained together. do LED Christmas lights have fuses? Like the incandescent strings before them, the LED strings have a fuse in series with each side of the AC line, located in the plug. Usually there is a trap-door in the plug to open and access the fuses, or there may be a section that pulls out.Do LED Christmas lights burn out?LED Christmas lights use light-emitting diodes, rather than filament to produce light. This new technology makes LED lights more efficient, durable, and longer-lasting than fluorescent incandescent lights. They don’t burn out, like other bulbs; and they also don’t get hot to the touch, so they’re a lot safer, too.
