I have tried to buy replacement bulbs but i can not find them on an shelves where i bought them.
C9 christmas lights not working.
Some christmas light testers work by having you slide each christmas light bulb through a hole.
It combines a voltage detector bulb.
More than likely one of your mini light bulbs has popped out of it s socket modern mini lights are manufactured with a shunt wire that keeps the circuit intact if a bulb burns out.
Second test the christmas light bulbs with an inexpensive tester available where holiday lights are sold and online usually changing a problem bulb or tightening it will fix the entire strand.
I bought noma led large string lights for my house and i turn my christmas lights on the first of dec 1st.
By the third week half of them did not work.
I checked the fuse as instructed but it still did not work after replacing the fuse.
Christmas lights often burn out the moment you unplug them so the problem often goes unnoticed.
You re not crazy those lights did work last year.
In other words if a bulb burns out the filament is blown the rest of the lights stay lit.
The best option is to use either an electrician s multimeter or a tool specifically designed for repairing christmas lights such as the lightkeeper pro.
