Understanding Voltage and Current in Midget Christmas Lights

I discuss how both voltage and current are important when repairing midget Christmas lights. When replacing lamps in midget series Christmas lights, it is important to select replacement lamps that are the same voltage and the same current as the old lamps. Replacement lamps are usually classified by voltage but the current they draw is often unknown. You can measure the current through an entire set of lights or through an individual lamp.

**A note about advertisements in my videos**
I do not monetize my videos. That means that I do NOT place advertisements before, during, or after my videos. However, a recent change by YouTube allows YouTube to place advertisements with my videos. I do not support this change but don't have a way to opt out. I don't want ads before, during, or after my videos, but am powerless to stop it short of leaving YouTube.
