Multiple short strings

[Meegan]

Hey all,

I have been taking advantage of the Walmart after Xmas sales the last several years buying up MANY, MANY of the 50 count- 12ft LED SETS AND have a question for the electrical guys out there:

Aside from the obvious potential issues of wet connections, are there any downsides to having so many plug interconnects?

Thanks in advance and happy new year everyone!

Not really.

only downside I can think of is with so many plugs depending on where and how you are mounting them is hiding or covering the plugs so they dont show really bad and not have them hanging down in your display. A up side is there are a lot of things that you can use shorter strings for and you dont have to cut or hide so many lights like on a long strand.

They don't technically throw them away, they get recycled and melded down to make other things. The Florida sun for the 4-5 months they have them setup makes is to the point that a company like Disney is worried that they will have a failures in the following season

Just a side note. This is the last year for the Osbourne lights! Hopefully they will come up with something new!
