No, they can last for years. Each bulb has a hour life. depending on the ones you get they will burn for differnt amount of hours. There are indoor and outdoor lights too. Make sure you get the correct lights for the application. If a bulb does burn out you should be able to replace it to resolve the issue. If you are having problems with repeated burnouts it could be an issue with moisture. water in the bulb will make them burn out prematurly. make sure they are sealing into the seat. use the correct replacements and make sure they are pushed down into the soket all the way.

Maybe it's the way that u are putting the lights up when u take the down. When u use them one time they r easy to mess up and brok so take care of them and they will last for more then one 1 year.

I hate to break it to you, but you are undoubtly purchasing inexpensive strings of light. We have 2 strings we bought in 1965 that work fine. They were over $10.00 each at the time. We gained a window last year, a $4.99 set is no good this year.

You need to buy the more expensive ones....the cheap ones just don't last. I like the retro ones....you know the ones with the really big bulbs....they screw in ....much easier to change if one goes out. I have light sets that are 10 years old or better. Also helps if you store them neatly, don't twist or or tangle them...this could cause broken wires.

Not always true, I had a string of lights wrapped around a lamp post which burned continuously for over 5 years before the string failed.

colleges favor to do a much extra powerful job of forestalling the bullying. The consequences must be severe. It became in simple terms the boys that were bullies. Now the females are transforming into into the act. How is a baby who's bullied meant to study something contained in the college room at the same time as he’s anxious about getting beaten up or careworn at the same time as he leaves college to move homestead? and how is he meant to concentration on his homework at the same time as he’s anxious about getting to college the subsequent morning without getting beaten up or careworn? Bullies are on the low end of the tutorial food chain. they have the braveness of a toad and the mind to verify. Bullies ought to receive one threat to end their nonsense. a first experience ought to get them a 2 day suspension (they gained’t ideas because they’re not likely to study something besides). A 2d offense must be dealt with as battery and earn them a weekend in penitentiary and a 2 week suspension. The suspension must be served in homestead, contained in the detention room so that you'll be able to easily sit there all day and be bored. in spite of the indisputable fact that it takes, we favor to end the bullying. it isn't threat free and there is not any justification for tolerating it. the days of “Boys will be boys” favor to be discarded invariably. An eleven-year-previous boy hanged himself by way of abuse he took. He died because no one at his college did something about the bullying he became subjected to. BTW, this isn't frequently a controversy of bigotry. this is a controversy of habit. we can't punish people for his or her attitudes and ideology, yet we can easily punish them for his or her habit.

These days, Christmas lights are disposable...and cheap enough to throw away too. Back in the day, they were heavy duty. My friends parents still have the ORIGINAL bubble lights...metal, not plastic.

It depends on the kind you buy.
Maybe they are not very good ones (cheap)?
My lights have been working for years. I paid $35 for them.
