What causes half a string of Christmas Lights to go out?

• <div><p>If only half of your string of Christmas lights is out, it likely means that you have a broken or loose bulb somewhere along the strand. That’s why we suggest inspecting and testing each bulb to ensure it’s still tight and functioning properly. Luckily, this problem is quickly solved with a DIY fix, such as replacing the bad bulb or repairing a damaged shunt.</p></div>

Q: What type of professional repairs lamps?

• <div><p>In most cases, general electricians and lamp repair specialists can repair lamps, although it&rsquo;s usually best to hire a lamp repair specialist. Many electricians won&rsquo;t offer lamp repair services, as the jobs are usually small, and some lamps require dedicated lamp repair expertise that electricians may not have. A dedicated lamp repair technician is also a better option because they will be familiar with different types of fixtures, including antique lamps, and can provide a more dedicated service.</p></div>

Q: Is system testing part of the repair process for outdoor lighting?

• <div><p>Yes, most services include testing the system after repairs. Confirm with your provider.</p></div>

Q: Does cold weather affect Christmas lights?

• <div><p>Cold weather can cause older incandescent Christmas lights to fail by causing cracks in the finish or the glass itself. Modern LED lights are affected in the opposite way and perform even better as the temperature drops. </p></div>

Q: Is outdoor lighting worth it?

• <div><p>In most cases, outdoor lighting is a worthwhile investment. Installing lights around your property can drastically improve your home&rsquo;s curb appeal, especially if you have a lighting professional design the system, and it can make your home more appealing and more valuable when you sell it. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-security-lighting.htm">Outdoor lighting can also improve the security</a> of your home, as lighting can help deter burglars, which is always a worthwhile investment.</p></div>

$400 for 6 light bulbs is crazy. I was charged a service fee, labor for two electricians, plus parts. I was not at home and I feel that they took advantage of my elderly father. I will obviously never use their services again.
