I have 2 sets of 40 bulb xmas lights.
Both have a standard plug (no transformer) to supply them using a ring format (ie they are all in series).
When I plug them in they are very bright.
However for convenience, I removed the plug from one set, split the ring on the other and joined them together to create an 80 bulb circuit - and the brightness halved.
So:
- can anyone explain why
- are they likely to cause any problems (overheating for example).
Thanks
