have you tried switching them on at the wall?
dont stand on em
my dad stood on one... cracked it.. then somehow managed to stand on the glass and cut his foot... making blood go all over mums cream carpet
Mains fuse, transformer, broken wire... wont be bulb as they are wired in parallel not series.
This means that just the bulb with a broken element would have failed & that would be obvious.
The main set we have at home are strung in series, albeit 8 series' on one loom...
If it's traditional fairy lights (240v, no transformer), then usually the bulb closet to the plug is a fuse bulb, indicated by having a white tip. If that blows, then they all go off. Any other bulb blowing (on its own) will not stop the lights coming on. However, if too many normal bulbs go, it can cause the fuse bulb to go. So check the fuse bulb first, then check as many others as possible. You should be able to check them by sight alone, though this is not always the case.
Weird... so you can lose 8 at a time... I dont see the point.
