Comments (10)well, by removing some lights, you could actually be making the others brighter. i have a few strands that if you remove more than 1-2 lights, the strand gets real bright! light strands are series-parallel circuits that are setup so that each bulb basically gets 1.5 to2.5 volts across it, depending on the exact setup of the strand. by removing bulbs, you change the ciruit resistance, and up the voltage to each bulb. as this happens, the bulb gets brighter and gives off more heat. remove enough and the circuit is broken completely on most stradns and you get no light. also, you say unscrewing the bulbs, so i take it this is not the mini lights but the older 4 or 9 watt screw in bulbs. they will produce much more heat than the smaller bulbs. as configured from the manufacturer, the bulbs should be safe. of course we all know that chinese crap may not be, but if the bulbs run cooler with all bulbs in, then i would leave it alone....See MoreO Christmas tree, O Christmas tree!...
Comments (66)Really enjoyed looking @ everyone's lovely trees! Sorry a bit late, but here's ours. After years of elaborate real trees decorated w/ traditional ornaments, garlands, lights & candy, once our kids were grown, I got a small vintage aluminum tree on eBay & have enjoyed its convenience & simplicity ever since. No lights, no topper, no watering - takes me about 1/2 hour to complete... Here it is the first year we had it - 2007. Only year w/ icicles, after I learned (the hard way) that my cat liked to eat them... & here's a tree @ work - all decorations by kids in my arts & crafts classes... Merry Christmas to everyone!...See Morechristmas lights for my tree in the middle of my field; no elec access
Comments (5)Solar light strings (available on Amazon and other online shops) would do the trick. They look like regular light strands, but have a small solar panel/battery pack instead of a plug. Lights come on at dusk, and stay lit until the battery runs out--or dawn, whichever comes first. They recharge during daylight, and come on at dusk again. Cloudy days don't charge them as much, and the lights will go out earlier. Place the panel where it will get as much sunlight as possible (and where you can reach it), then wrap the strand as desired. Most of the solar strands offer different modes--always lit, flashing, slow fade and brightening--so you can decide what you like. And they come in all kinds of colors: white, purple, blue, green, multi, lots more. Hard to say how long they'll keep working. I have 2 strands on a tree in my front yard and one on my front gate; they've been outside (in very wet and acidic conditions) for about 4 months and are still going strong....See Moredollfanz
