So took that set of lights off the tree (have four strings of RGBW tie wrapped together) which entailed cutting it OFF of the cords I have the lights strings tie wrapped to...cutting the tie wraps that I used to tie the 4 different light strings together so I could remove the blue string...tie wrapping them back together THEN tie wrapping it back onto the tree cords...I have 20 sets of these strings on my Mega...I then took my tree down, thinking I was done with it...BUT I forgot I wanted to wrap 40 strobes into it (10 of each color of RGBW)...so last night I was setting it back up when I snagged a Red Bulb and pulled it off...And what set of lights did I pull it off of???The same set that I had repaired the blue set on.The WINDER CURSE...believe... :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry...gotta ask...why would you be texting when you are in a bank vault??You got locked in? (No need to worry about alarms)Posting to your Facebook? (wait til you get home with the cash)Forgot the combination? (you're in the wrong business....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see how it comes out, just haven't tried to get them out as of yet for fear of wrecking the string, glad Jim asked about this I have had a couple of bulbs break so I might be able to repair those strings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmoore60 Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Don,I use the small diagonals do that I can get down in the groove and have 2 leverage points to be able to work it out. Get the cutter edge down in the groove and the just a little gentle rocking motion and it will slide out.Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitusCarnathan Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 I wish I would have found this yesterday I fixed a 70 ct string yesterday just by soldering the wires together somehow my wire broke rightbehind the bulb I did a voltage caculation since there are two series circuits on these strings from cdi 120/35 - 120/34 comes out to about 0.1 volts more per bulb it shoudn't hurt the sring being only one bulb missing would be no diffrent if one would burn out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
