How do you troubleshoot three wire incandescent bulb Christmas tree light string?

Two wires are simply the AC power cord running the length of the string to power the next string. The third wire is a series circuit of all the lamps, connected to one side of the power cord at the plug end and the other side of the power cord at the socket end. The bulbs are low voltage lamps designed with a mechanism to short them out when they burn out so the other lamps stay lit and you can identify the failed one and replace it. If you remove a lamp the whole string will go out until it is replaced, because they are a series circuit.

Is led lights the same as Christmas lights?
The answer is that they are not necessarily the same. LED lights can be Christmas Lights, but not all Christmas Lights are LED Christmas Lights. LED or Light Emitting Diodes are the type of light source used not a general type of light. LED lights can be used for Street Lights, Flood Lights, Rope Lights, standard household lights or Christmas Lights. Just about any light out there now comes in an LED version. Using LED lights are a great way to save on power consumption. They generally use 90% less power than standard incandescent bulbs. Your typical Christmas Light is generally an incandescent light unless it specifically says it is and LED version. LED Christmas Lights do use less power but usually cost a lot more than standard incandescent Christmas Lights. Many Christmas Light retailers have more information on their websites regarding LED versus incandescent Christmas Lights that would probably be helpful to look at before purchasing any type of Christmas light to make sure you are getting just what you want.
What is incandescent light bulb?

Incandescent light cannot be used for a fiber optic transmitter. This is because incandescent light is too slow for such a transmitter.
