I ordered 4 of these cords and hung them. The 4th wasn't enough so I ordered the 5th. As I plugged them in, I noticed that several of the bulbs were off. I went through and FIXED (this was important, many of them lit again) the lightbulbs. That helped. After a few hours the 5th string failed completely causing the other 4 to fail. After we removed the 5th string it didn't work when plugged directly into the outlet but the other 4 worked. No blown fuses. Only one night. The next day it started raining and all the lights stopped working no matter what outlet, # strung together etc. Don't waste your money on those red hot garbage lights. Oh the color was good. Soft yellow glow of the lantern.
