Replace Bulb
CAUTION: This string contains two different bulb types –
Replaceable and NON-replaceable. The NON-replaceable bulbs in
the string are identified by their white base ring, as shown in the figure.
Any attempt to remove these bulbs will void the two-year limited
replacement guarantee on this product.
Always replace burned-out bulbs promptly. If a number of bulbs are burned out, extra stress is put on the
remaining bulbs in the circuit. This may cause additional bulbs to burn out prematurely.
If the spare bulbs provided with the product have no plastic base or
the plastic base does not fit, first follow steps 1 – 2 above. Then
a) Remove the old bulb by straightening the bulb wires and
pulling bulb straight from the base.
b) Replace the new bulb by straightening the bulb leads and
aiming each wire into a separate hole in the plastic base.
c) Make sure each bulb lead comes out an exit opening at the bottom of the plastic base.
Now bend each lead up such that each bulb lead fits closely against the narrow side of the plastic base.
CAUTION: 1. This lighting string is rated 50 /100 /150: 24 / 48 / 72 Watts (0.2 / 0. 4 / 0.6 Amps),
do not overload.
2. To reduce the risk of overheating replace burned-out lamps promptly. Use 2.5 Volt, 0.5 Watt lamps only.
3.To reduce the risk of fire and electric shock: a) Do not install on trees having needles, leaves or branch
coverings of metal or materials which look like metal, and b) Do not mount or support strings in a manner that
can cut or damage wire insulation.

TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSE

circuit between the bulb leads and the
socket terminals. Fuse(s) may have
moved.
Unplug the set at the outlet. Starting with the
first unlit bulb, gently push (don't twist) each
bulb base firmly into the socket. If still does
not light, then remove each based bulb to
check for out of place lead wires. Open fuse
door and check fuses.

broken
Bulbs may have hit against each other
when transporting
Mark socket(s) with a piece of tape and
unplug the set before removing the based
bulb from the socket. Replace the broken
bulb. Should another bulb flicker while doing

bulb.
If a based bulb
is missing

have come out of the socket when
transporting
