It's a conspiracy I tell ya.... I have thrown away so many strings of lights, because I couldn't get them working.

it's not july 4th yet.Well , alls I can say is .....................................if my VFD hookup goes as well as these Christmas lights conundrum , you're all in for some huge laughs in the future .
That's insane.Wow , just got in from the neighborhood nursery . 6 ft. balled Blue Spruce is going for $380 .
I've used those voltage detectors with moderate success on my tree, but it is not a sure thing.as the title says.. I feel beaten... I've had an area of the tree (fake) that doesn't light. I have replaced every bulb in the string, and still could not get it to light, now I have another section of the tree, that was lit last year, and is not lit. I figured it has to be one bulb that's loose, but I can't find it. about 60-70 bulbs on the top... I have a few bulbs from the bottom that light, so they should help locate the dead bulb(s) up top... but the tree is winning. Barb wanted to go out and get a new tree, so we went out and she doesn't like anything we've seen.
So any of you have a secret ... ... I wonder if my power sensor will pick it up... you know the type you hold near an outlet to see if its powered...
looking for opinions while I go try that idea.
What a great idea, put the lights on and decorate before cutting it down to be sure you like it!Wow $380 bucks... I don't think so!
We paid $70 for this one. And I thought that was a lot. It's not the best photo but there it is in all its glory. And I only threw away 2 strings of lights. LOL
