On the day I stood my tree up and plugged it in, I discovered numerous lights burned out around the bottom area of the tree. With hubby's help, we used the replacement bulbs and replaced the burned out ones. They were working and then yesterday, I noticed more lights burned out around the bottom of the tree. We replaced some again. They worked the rest of last night and burned out sometime today. I think they might be the same ones that keep burning out. The instructions on the tree plugs say they use 2.5 volt, .43 watt. The replacement we used were 2.5 volt, .425. So that shouldn't be the problem. I decided to leave it alone as far as replacing them and turn the tree around to where the burned out ones are next to the wall. But I read the papers that came with the tree. It says replace all burned out bulbs immediately to prevent overheating and a possible fire hazard. Hubby said the problem is not with any of the fuses as the lights would not come on if the fuse was bad. Anyone with any electrical knowledge here that might have some suggestions.
