LED Holiday Light - Holiday Lighting Maintenance Guide

If you are experiencing problems with LED holiday lighting, the following guides will provide advice and solutions for common Christmas light issues.

What should I do if the light is off?

Check that all circuits are switched on and that all plugs have adequate power supply.

Check the plug fuse of the lighting device. If the filament inside the fuse breaks, replace the fuse. It is sometimes necessary to spread the plug pins of the plug to ensure electrical contact. This is a common problem.

While inserting the illuminator into sufficient current, slowly place your finger on top of the bulb.

If the light is on when a particular light bulb is touched, the light bulb is likely to cause a short circuit.
Remove and replace this light. In this case, the wires are not in contact with the light holder.
Check end-to-end to see if a sufficient number of lighting devices are plugged into each other. Do not insert more than two (2) sets of lights into each other.

If you insert the light into the extension cord, it may cause an overload. Make sure there aren't too many lights plugged into the power cord. Also check the plug fuse of the extension cord. *Note* It is always best to check the light that is plugged into the wall outlet.

If the burning brightness of the illuminator is higher than normal, it is most likely to burn out eight (8) to fifteen (15) bulbs. Find and replace those bulbs that don't work. Do not replace the burnt out light when plugging in the power switch. This can cause a surge and burn out new bulbs.

It is helpful to use a tester when replacing a burnt out light bulb in a mini light kit. This will greatly simplify the maintenance of the lighting fixtures on the trees and displays. To use the tester, plug a light into the socket of the tester. Press the test button on the tester; any defective bulb will beep. Remove and replace the light. On a light set (sphere, 100 light group, etc.) with more than fifty lights, remove a light bulb from the end of the light group or sphere and insert the light into the tester. Press the test button. Remove and replace the light. Continue to test each light until a defective light is found.

 

Power setting
You don't need to read the electricity bill to know that the outdoor Christmas lights will consume a lot of electricity. For example, a 100-foot incandescent C9 bulb consumes three and a half times the power of most TVs! Needless to say, if too many strings are inserted into a plug, you will quickly overload the circuit.

Most homes have a 16 amp plug in the front and back yards. However, this circuit is usually shared with one room in the home, so not all 16 amps are available. If you're planning a large Christmas light display, it's wise to calculate the amperage of your Christmas lights and decorations to make sure it's much smaller than 16 amps.

The amperage is usually posted on the UL label on one end of the string. If not, use the following formula to determine the amperage of the string:

Feet x watts per bulb / 125 volts = amperage

Use the example above:
100 feet C9 bulb x 7 watts per bulb / 125 volts = 5.6 amps.

Assuming other electrical equipment does not use this circuit, other lights or decorations can be inserted into the outdoor plug. However, before inserting other lights end-to-end, check the maximum number of connections for the UL tag (usually three).

Note: Most Mini Light strings are rated at watts, but amps, so math is done for you.

light replacement
Grasp the plug and pull it out of the socket or other outlet device. Do not pull on the power cord by pulling on the cord.

Pinch the groove on the side of the slot. Gently pull up on the light holder.

Align the groove on the spare light base with the groove on the socket.

Gently push the light into the socket until you hear a SNAP tone. This means that the light holder is locked in place.

Replace the light only with a matching bulb in the kit.

If the light holder for the new replacement bulb is not suitable for the light holder:

Remove the light from its base by straightening the wire and pulling the light out of the base.

Insert the new bulb into the base by threading the wires through the two holes in the bottom of the base and then bending the wires up to the side of the base.

Insert the completed light/base into the light holder.

Fuse replacement

Grasp the plug and pull it out of the socket or other outlet device. Do not pull on the power cord by pulling on the cord.

Open the fuse cover. Slide the panel on the top of the accessory plug toward the blade to expose the two fuses.

Turn the fuse plug and carefully remove the fuse.

To avoid the risk of fire, replace the fuse (check the package) with only the correct amperage replacement fuse.

Slide the panel to the top of the connector plug and close the fuse cover.
