Just How Many Strands of Lights Can You String Together?

Let me just answer that question in a hypothetical manner.

It could happen that a person who wraps every branch of her Christmas tree requires many strands of clear lights to complete that task. Perhaps as many as 15-20+ strands. Because that makes the tree really sparkly.

Of course, that person would naturally just plug one end of the strand into the end of the next strand never having read the warning label on the lights. Really...who reads warning labels anyway?

At a certain point, the lights become warm-ish and they might begin to spark a little. Just a little shuzizzle. And then the lights go out.

Completely out. Not-coming-back-on-no-matter-how-much-you-jiggle-them out.

And a burning smell might come from the tree. No smoke - just a stinky smell.

All hypothetically speaking, of course.

Hypothetically, that would be such a bummer!!!!! Even more so because I want to cast a gaze at that gorgeous tree!

Well as long as the tree doesn't fall down, hypothetically one should be able to unplug them for an hour and let them "cool" and then plug them back in and they will work.

Right?
