My Christmas Tree Lights are not working, they were working last night, but not this morning.

Is there any way of knowing how they are wired? If they are series i may try finding the blown bulb. If they're parallel, I may just buy some new ones tomorrow. 😀

Cheers,

If they're parallel, one blown bulb won't take them all out. They must be series - or completely knacked...

Also - if they have a mains adapter they will be parallel.

(You don't want 240v across each 'bulb' )

Thanks, no mains adapter, so I think they are series. Bugger. Best get the spare bulbs out 🙁
