My 31 volt ac 1000 led fairy light string was so despondent after the end of the festive season that it willfully threw itself into the path of the whipper-snipper. Valiant efforts on the part of the ever-alert operator restricted the damage to the last four or five leds, mangled beyond redemption. My old brain thought "Ah! just cut off the damaged section, look for a two wire section and cut it there!" This damn thing is three wires all the way back to the first led. The whole darn string ceased to light. Was my old brain befuddled with old DC thoughts? What's the fix do you think?
Also, I have several props that have a string of multi-colour leds, and a string of an equal number of white leds of the same brand/length. I generally pull these props apart every year, as stacking them assembled would probably result in wire damage. I have considered using a drill to attempt to twist the multi string and the white string together to make set up a little easier. Would this work or am I likely to just wind up murdering two led strings?
