They are the 3 wire series lights. One blows they all go out (that alone has slowed my Christmas cheer)..
I have a sign out by the road with a 220volt 60Hz outlet. I was going to get a 220 to 110 travel transformer and plug the lights in. But I worry about kids messing with it and also the weather.
I heard the way they work, there are so many bulb that each drop the 110V to about 2V per bulb. Can I drop a resistor in the string and use the 220volts? Not sure on the watts, but that would be simpler and I can seal that pretty well with epoxy.
Any ideas?
Merry Christmas..
