28 Nov Compare and contrast troubleshooting strategies for decorative lighting. Discuss the pros and cons of each configuration. There ?are typically two kinds of circuits use in decorative lighting systems. ?The first, being series circuits which just conducts power to each light ?sequentially down the strand. The second, parallel circuits, is wired ?alternatingly so that if a few bulbs go out, it won’t shut off power to ?the rest. Honestly, I’ve always had very simple lighting systems on and in my ?house. Typically, for the tree we just have it on a flash setting with a ?timer. For outside, usually, we just have constant lights that get ?turned off during the day and come on when it is dark,
