They are nasty little creatures. Much smarter than they are given credit for. It's because they stick together. One goes and they all go. I wrestled with them for half an hour two days ago, and just when I thought I had tamed them, they proved me wrong.
What is wrong? I tested everything. Jiggled every tiny bulb. I finally gave up and started over with a new strand. I checked it carefully before hanging them, so as to avoid any more problems, but as soon as I finish, wouldn't you know it - 3 burned out bulbs. I nearly just left them that way, but decided to press my luck and change them.
They are currently working. They are hanging in my family room window, and if I tilt the blinds a half-turn backward they all blink off. I wish I had never done the lights. My sanity is a very delicate balance these days, and the lights just may be the end of it.
Oh, that is the part I am NOT looking forward too!!

Okay I know this is wrong of me but...I simply pretend that I simply have no idea how to do these complicated light things...and it would be so wonderful if Mr Big and Strong would do it for me.
Yes, i bat my eyelashes and look as innocent as I can imagine. He does fall for it for a moment...ahh, but he does do it.
As I said: yes, it is wrong of me, but I will continue to do it.
I could explain to you why they do that, but it would be supurfulous. Needless to say, I agree. Dispose of them and buy the ones that are wired so they don't all go out when one goes out!
PS: Haloscan rocks.
