Why are my LED Christmas lights not working?

If one of your LED light strands isn’t working, it’s probably just because it has a bad bulb. If one bulb dies, it can cause the rest of the strand to stop working. The only way to fix the problem is to find the bad bulb. That means pulling off each bulb, replacing it with a good bulb, and plugging it in.

How do you find the bad bulb on Christmas lights without a tester?

What do you do when half your LED lights don’t work?

If the LEDs will not light up at all, then this could be down to a faulty power supply. Solution: If you have several power supplies, then try a different power supply onto the same strip to see if this now works. If it does, then you have a faulty power supply and will need a new one.
