ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade General Discussion Area Christmas Lights Rant

Watching "Crazy Christmas Lights" on TLC, kinda ticked me off. One of the people told everybody watching how to bypass the fuses in the XMas Light Strands, "Take a galvanized nail, pop that fuse out, put the nail in, no problems with tripping."

I can't believe a TV network would let that slide. Those kinds of "Antics" fry wires and burn houses down! I expect that from HGTV.


Sorry for ranting (again),

Well at least the EC can cash-in on the fire restoration job afterwards.

Insurance companies pay quite well I understand.

Wait for next years darwin awards when we hear some guy in arkansas tried to bypass the fuse with a .22 rimfire bullet

LOL! You just made my day!
