How Christmas Lights Are Made

[@IAmNotAFunguy]

2:13 "and it comes out looking like this" she says pulling out an old school incandescent string when the machine was making an LED string.

[@BobMcCoy]

*_It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas_* 🎄

[@ulrichschwenk6164]

The LEDs are tested to find their polarity, not for "charge". LED and incandescent lights are presented without distinction; Not ideal... In the series circuit all lights will go out at the same time if the circuit is broken anywhere. The animation is misleading. It won't look like that. The parallel circuit in the example is shorted

[@zyxw2000]

AI video.

[@aspiresnooperr2915]

When they all stay lit even if one goes out it’s because the bulbs are equipped with a “shunt” to allow current to keep flowing. If they had a true parallel circuit they would stay lit even if one was entirely missing and that would have a lot of wires. C9’s and c7’s and such can stay lit because each socket “taps” power off the main line

[@razelhamnirif]

This is literally what I came to learn, was if they were true parallel circuits or no. Thanks.

[@tashee8772]

Incandescent, old fashioned glass Christmas lights are so much prettier than plastic LED lights.

[@musicnerd72]

I was just going to say the same thing. LED lights don't give off that warm glow like incandescents do.

[@YSLRD]

I like the tiny lights.

[@LazyHubbStudios]

Okay so you showed a green LED string being made. But then when showing what the machine supposedly made, you pull out a multicolor incandescent string. Something tells me y’all didn’t do your homework

[@rmalus10297]

Does it matter that much? It's made the same way for the most part.

[@mrb5217]

@@rmalus10297 Yes it does, they're not at all the same. Different bases, different sockets, different bulbs, different power supply. That's like watching a video about how incandescent bulbs are made and then they show some florescent light fixtures in an office.

[@diymadness5110]

At last why did u short the circuit(3:12)😂😂.

[@robrob7011]

I want to see how standard string lights are made. This is about a christmas light string making machine. This is an amateur machine. Will you make a video about the lights that everyone uses?

[@showbizwisconsin8350]

I know right! I want to see how the incandescent lights you buy at the store are made

[@mrb5217]

You can tell the woman doing the VO has absolutely no idea what she is saying, she is just reading words.

[@ibenb.4767]

"No wayyyyy" was my impression for the whole video

[@gemgaming4042]

This is really interesting 😮

[@chrislewis2262]

First off they are called Light Emitting Diode aka LED for short not "bulbs". Also newer bulb typed have a shunt device in them so when the bulb blows it keeps the rest of the lights on. The parallel lighting is different then standard strings as they would be the C-7/C-9 screw in type, if you do that with the mini lights and the bulb blows it will directly short the circuit and no bulbs will be lit and blow a fuse.

[@showbizwisconsin8350]

Yes. Incandescent mini lights have had that shunt device in them for probably 30 years. The reason half or all of the strand goes out is that shunt fails. The reason it's only half is almost all 100 count mini light strings have 2 series circuits of 50 If you use a voltage detector you can pinpoint the bad bulb and replace it, instead of throwing the whole thing in the trash. It's important to replace bulbs when they burn out because when they do, all the rest of the bulbs get a little more voltage because one is absent from the circuit. This means they will blow faster and faster until either a shunt fails or the whole strand burns out.

[@chrislewis2262]

@@showbizwisconsin8350 I know that, I do a lot with Christmas lights and string setup. You also have older sets of 100- 5 way (5 sets of 20 in one string) and sets of 35. I have a "save a set" light tester for fixing old sets.

[@showbizwisconsin8350]

@@chrislewis2262 Nice. I use the light keeper pro for fixing my sets. I've taken "broken" lights from people and sometimes you get some that aren't worth fixing, but most of the time, it's just one bad shunt. I have acquired so many lights my whole display was basically free

[@chrislewis2262]

@@showbizwisconsin8350 the one I have has a plug socket where you plug the string into it pull the trigger and it sends a pulse wave through the string of lights to pop the shunt into place.

[@lyonsdavid]

That looks like an INCREDIABLY SLOW PROCESS, no way that's how the Millions of String Lights are made each year!

[@CT-vm4gf]

I’m sure I’ve seen a machine making these things at lightning speed

[@ryanholmes1414]

Play it at 1.25x speed it sounds more normal

[@imverycreative5819]

I did the same

[@PeteSchirmer]

um no thats not what you get from that machine, those are clearly mini incandescent bulb and socket strands in the 'finished' shot, the machine is making hardwired led strands. You also missed completely shunted bulbs, when they go out they cause their own short-circuit to keep the other lights in the strand to stay lit. www.energy.gov/articles/how-do-holiday-lights-work

[@lyualex7991]

0086 18857692349 , I will show you hot to make it by machine

[@showbizwisconsin8350]

Exactly! This machine is making some weird homemade Chinese lights that resemble those crappy solar light strings more then actual Christmas lights. I wish Insider would actually take the time to research just the slightest bit about the subjects they talk about.

[@binladen2739]

geez.. i was really hoping to see how they plastic dip coat the whole thing! :( :(

[@shujaturrehmanshujarurrehm7246]

Wow nice

[@zyxw2000]

Series circuits aren't used anymore. Only parallel circuits are used now, and as long as I've had a tree, which is about 40 years.

[@sana7630]

I guess you can say this video is pretty lit

[@mikenorman4001]

At 3:10, the end of your strand of lights is shorted. No Christmas for you.

[@dnzdrakrks7549]

Lmao

[@PINEFAWKINTREECUNT]

This was like my stem class except it wasn't three months long it was 3 minutes long

[@UHFStation1]

How are the bulbs made? Colored? How about xmas lights that change color using a program?

[@Nunya_Bidnez]

Every led looks like an R2D2 unit to me.

Thanks ive always want to know how they are made

[@glumfish6862]

The parallel circuit showed would not work since it has a short.

[@lyualex7991]

parallel type just need about 3 V ,

[@grapepotatos1921]

0:08 no

[@buddyclem7328]

The producers have a poor understanding of electronics and manufacturing, and proper terminology.

[@buddyclem7328]

@HowardV Berry What's with the almost porn after 100 redirects? Don't you have better things to do with your time?

[@buddyclem7328]

@Isthat_tescosbleach I was hoping for a segment from "How It's Made" with Brooks Moore as the narrator. This episode was visually interesting, and could have been more relaxing with just the factory sounds.

[@PaulStrauss]

I agree. They jump between footage of soldered-on LED bulbs and old-fashioned removable incandescent bulbs like they’re one and the same.

DO NOT put your LED strings outdoors .... if you want them to last .... water creeps up the ( plated steel ) LED legs and the ( 3 Volts ) per LED causes HUGE electrolytic corrosion ( 💩RUST ! ) = total failure .............. DAVE™🛑
