They functioned properly last year!

I'll never understand how Christmas lights; which were functioning properly when stored away the following year, cease to function the following season!

It's maddening!

Good morning, Lounge..

Be well!

I bought a few spools of extra long LED lights a couple of years ago. This year every one of the strings lights up only on the first half of the string. I checked fuses, replace bulbs and everything else I could think of but they still only light up half way.

When an entire string fails it is often the little fuse they put in the plug but this half string stuff is just frustrating.

Some of them go back to my first Christmas in New Jersey back in '69.
