So I get 20 strands of lights for the outside. I methodically check each line as I decorate the bushes. All is going well until I plug in # 20. The Bam all the lights go out and I am standing outside in the dark. I utter a few choice words unplug the main cable and go in for dinner


:grr: :argh:

1. Dinner by candlelight Clark?
Did it flow a fuse? Trip the circuit breaker?

2. check your watt usage
20 strands sounds like an awful lot for one cord. Also, most sets are made now to have the plugs stacked. If you are running the lights end to end thats way too much power running through that tiny wire.
