It depends on what type of Christmas lights.
If they are the (now) standard 50 , 100, 150, mini-lights, they use a 3A fuse and you COULD use a MAXIMUM of about 750 lights if they are strung together from one string (end to end plugs) before blowing the fuse built into the plug of the first light set.
If you plug them into separate outlets (or into an outlet-strip), then you could light about 3750 lights on a (otherwidse unused) 15 A household circuit.
With the new LED type Christmas lights, it might be even more.
Depends on how many amps the string(s) draw, and how many amps are on the circuit (look at the circuit breaker, it has a number at the end of the switch). If the lights are the only thing on that circuit, you should be able to add strings that equal the amps on that circuit.
Yes you would use a serial circuit You would use parallel circuit lights for a Christmas tree because if you used series circuit lights, and one of the bulb blows, the rest of the bulbs will go out. But with parallel circuit lights, if one bulb blows the rest of the bulbs will remain their brightness.
Generally, dash lights and tail lights are on the same fuse so that if the tail fuse blows you'll know. When the tail light was "smashed", it shorted out the circuit and blew the fuse. You need to fix the tail light before you can get the dash lights to work.
Check wiring and sockets for dead short to ground at: Parking/Tail and dash lights Remove all bulbs and sockets -replace 1 at a time until fuse blows Investigate that socket Check wiring and sockets for dead short to ground at: Parking/Tail and dash lights Remove all bulbs and sockets -replace 1 at a time until fuse blows Investigate that socket
If parking lights and dash lights are not working and fuse blows out, there might be a problem with battery corrosion. Check the components specific to the circuits of the affected lights. It might be loose.
The circuit current is interrupted and all the lights will go out.
Probably the Tail light fuse is blown. You also lose dash lights when this fuse blows also.
you have a short in the wires for your dash and lights So what do I do to fix it?
first thing I'd check is THE TAILIGHT fuse--if it blows, no tailights AND no dash lights. Good luck
A loose or corroded ground wire will cause the fuse to blow. Check the ground wires on your brake lights.
To repair the Reatta running lights check the fuse first. If the fuse is blown ad a replacement blows then check the lights and wiring for any shorts.
The fuses blows out and all of the lights in that building go out.
It sounds as if you have an electrical problem that needs to be checked. You may even have the wrong fuse for your brake lights.
