Led Light Strand Not Working

Led light strand not working.

It s a tedious task but an assured way to find the problem and bring light life back to the non working string o. Sixty bulb led christmas lights are built from two half strings of 30 bulbs each. I discovered it before i put it up on the eaves. I inspected the wire for.

I encountered the age old problem of half the strand not working. A loose bulb broken socket or frayed wire is sometimes all it takes for the strand to malfunction. With the lights plugged in use the voltage detector to check the live voltage wire between each light starting at the end that plugs into the wall outlet. After taking down the lights plug them in before storing them to make sure they still work.

Wiring mistakes are the most common of all led lighting issues. Next insert the tool into the bulb s socket and squeeze the trigger to activate a piezo circuit. This year i got an early start on my lightscape so i had time to troubleguess the offending strand. Trim back any overgrowth or simply move the light so its panel receives direct sunlight much of the day.

Sometimes the light stops working simply because plants in the area have grown so much they block much of the daylight the solar panel needs to charge the device. Then carefully wrap the lights in their original or similar containers making sure the bulbs don t bang together. If your led light source does not work properly you can remove it from the lamp and try it out in another lamp with the same socket. If one or more of the bulbs has dimmed or gone out check the manufacturer s documentation for the type of circuit that was used to put the led light strip itself together.

Simply plug in the light strand and remove a bulb that s in or near the dark section. If the light source works properly here you have already limited the error to the original place of use and can further investigate there. In the best case this lamp should be connected to another circuit. There should be voltage detected at the live wire going into the first light.

This is how i fixed many led string lights. Typically if your led lights simply don t work it is not because the products are defective but due to a basic wiring mistake or overlook. The non working led will obviously be in the string half that is not working. Good evening to all and may all your lights work.
