My holiday lights are really weird?

Question

I just spent the past few days Putting up holiday decorations. I have a REALLY big house so its hard to decorate it. (Roof and top floor is hannukah, two floors are christmas, The bottom floor and front yard just wintery like snow flakes and snow men. I have to questions, One is I bought these lights and i spent hours on a cherry lift putting the lights up and i tested them before and they turned on up to halfway then stopped. I waited a second and they turned on so i figured if I had the problem when I put them up I would wait a second and they would turn on. I put them up and I had the same problem. I figured I'd go do something else for a while and come back. I cam back and they were off. I jiggled it and twisted the bulbs and nothing worked. what should i do. and # 2 do you think i orginized my decorations good. Last year I just mixed everything and It looked tacky. Any way PLEASE answer.

Answer 2

You must have put up a lot of lights if you invested in a cherry picker. Did you plug them all into one outlet? If you used more then one outlet, are they on the same breaker? You need to be careful not to overload the circiut. Check the amperage that each starnd uses and multiply by the number of strands to find total amperage. Most outdoor outlets are on a 15 to 20 amp breaker. Could be a voltage problem. Check all connections. Take a long extension cord up to the point where the lights go out and plug it into the next line to check if it works. No easy way my friend.

What did you display for all of the other religions out there? You need to be careful in this day and age, you could be sued for discrimination!!
