Oh yeah, that's what I meant. :rotflmao

For the technically curious.......



This gif is made from 24 frames. Some lights are lit for 3 frames and off for 5 frames for a total of 8 frames which is a multiple of 24.  Other lights are lit for 2 frames and off for 4 frames for a total of 6 frames which is a multiple of 24.  Therefore some lights are lit only 3 times to every 4 of others.  Their "on" times are staggered within the 24 frames in such a way that the next 24 frame repetition does not disrupt the timing on any individual light. :D

Doug, Could you come over and fix the lights on my tree? :stupid

My grandson was over Saturday morning and I think he knocked a few bulbs loose...either that or the dog's tail did it. :banghead

I just went ahead and added new ones over the old ones.....no way was I going to take off all the decorations. :rolleyes

OK now for the REALLY technically curious..........

Even though this is a 24 frame gif, there are only 17 different frame images:

Frames #1 and #7 are identical
Frames #4 and #10 are identical
Frames #5 and #6 are identical
Frames #9 and #15 are identical
Frames #11, #12, and #18 are identical
Frames #23 and #24 are identical

:D

Just use an inline flux capacitor and the rest of your good unlit lights will light up again. :D


Seriously speaking, at least the newer light strings are better than the older ones.  The have a built in shunt so the rest of the string stays lit when a bulb burns out.  If the bulb gets removed entirely though, you're out of luck. You could always make your own set wired in parallel though so you could lose a bulb or two. :D
