Over time my Twinkly Festoon Lamps in my garden have started to fail, and before I started to attempt to fix them, I got in touch with Twinkly and they were super helpful.
So in this video I show you the issue I had, and Twinkly's solution for repairing it... does it work? Well you'll have to watch and see! I'm going to be sending the poorly lamps off to @bigclivedotcom soon for an autopsy and as you'll discover, they are quite interesting!
Clive looked at them! Here's his video - • Fixing Twinkly festoon...
If you want the same lights as me (hopefully with the repaired gaskets) you can get them here ( UK - amzn.to/3vhUwck )
