[quote DP]Very interesting! But if a bulb was burned out, tho', how would it allow current to flow in the working strand?
Another problem is that I bought these strings about five years ago and haven't seen any since. You have a bulb that is out of its socket, not burned out.
the reason a burnout doesn't cause darkness is the internal shunt.;
