Hints from the Lightkeeper “Pros”

We’ve all heard “when one bulb burns out the rest stay lit”. Internal bulb failure does not always support this statement.

Numerous blackened bulbs imply a light set that is at the end of its useful life.
Both bulb wires must make a complete connection with metal contacts in the socket.
Visually inspect the bulb socket metal contacts for proper alignment.
Expected bulb life spans a range from 1000 to 3000 hours of usage.
Some light sets are produced with one non-replaceable fused bulb. This bulb will have a different color ring. If this bulb burns out the set is not repairable.
50 good bulbs placed in 49 good sockets & 1 bad socket results in a failed light set.

Failure to replace burned out bulbs decreases the life of the light set by adding additional stress. Four burned out bulbs within a 50 light set decreases the life of the set by 67%.
While using the Voltage Detector do not hold the bulb socket in your hand (keep your hand at least 6” away). Your body acts as a ground and will alter the results.
The Voltage Detector is calibrated to work on a non-working light set and is not intended to be used on a working set.
To practice with the Voltage Detector, use a working light set & remove one bulb. Scan the wire on each side of the empty socket for beeping/non-beeping.
2.5 volt bulbs are used in 50, 100, and 150 light sets. 3.5 volt bulbs are used in 35 and 70 light sets. Consult the tag attached to your light set for specifications.
Blown fuses are rarely the cause of the light set failure. Blown fuses are the result of an overloaded circuit, which often occurs when too many light sets are connected end to end.
