Holiday Decorating - prelit tree lights not connected properly


Expert: Bob Sponaugle - 12/7/2007

Question
Dear Bob,

My wife unfortunately disconnected every cord on our prelit tree last year and now I am totally confused on which plug goes where, and she threw away the tree instructions, so I am yet at another total loss!  I tried to go online to see if I could actually download some instructions but was unable to find any instructions.  If you might possibly give some expert advise on this Holiday mishap, I would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks!

Paul

Answer
Hi.

Usually the cords will reach only one place.

What you want to avoid is plugging too many lights together and blowing the fuse.  You can buy an extension cord with 3 taps and a total of 9 plugs, and just plug the plugs into it. That way you won't overload anything.

I hope this helps.

Bob
