As Christmas is less than a few weeks away, you still have time to put up your holiday lighting if you consider doing so. Putting up your lights without professional help can be challenging, especially if you are cutting corners. You can also might be experiencing issues with damaged lighting. Listed below are some common problems you might encounter with your holiday lighting.
Recognize these signs of damaged lights.
Blown Fuses Withing Your Lighting
If there is a problem with the fuse, all of the lights along the string should be out. The issue may arise if an excessive number of strands of Christmas lights are connected or the wires are pinched or stapled. If you have this issue, there could be a problem with your prongs. You should be able to see what’s going on inside through the aperture. It is essential that the fuse is visible and that there is a wire flowing through each component. If the wire is damaged, you might be better off just investing in new lighting and getting them professionally installed the helpful staff at Aqua-Bright.
Dead Bulbs In Your Holiday Lighting
On older strands of Christmas lights, it is pretty usual for some of the bulbs to have burnt out. If there is just one dead bulb, you may be able to replace it by using a tool designed specifically for fixing lights to determine which bulb isn’t working. Many different sets of Christmas lights come packaged with a tool to help you identify and replace dead light bulbs.
You Find Dead Sockets
Another issue you may experience with your lighting is that you have a corroded or dead socket. You can opt to repair it, but the process is rather tedious. Your lights can also be susceptible to burning out at a faster rate resulting in them being replaced at a more frequent rate.
