    So if I understand it correctly, if you were to use this “solution”, you’d leave live exposed prongs on one end of the lights, right?

    Cause that would make it even dumber than I had imagined lmao

      Yup. American Christmas lights basically ARE very thin extension cords with the bulbs (hopefully) wired in parallel. Back in the day they were pretty much all incandescent and in series, and a single burned out bulb meant everything went out and Junior got a joyous new holiday chore!
