Woolworth Shadeless Lights Fault Finding

In this video, we started out just making a plain set of 40 Woolworth/Winfield shadeless lights work, but we end up making yet another helpful fault finding video for push in lights.
We hope this will assist you in fault finding your own lights.

A little 'light' history.
The early 90s were the beginning of the end for 'classic' style Christmas light sets, new manufacturing and safety laws saw the delicate thinner cables replaced with thick and bulky black ones for 240v sets of lights, making them look cumbersome and chunky.
NOMA still produce some 'classic style' sets of lights, identical to the late 80s lights, but unfortunately with the thick cable.
But even these are going away slowly but surely and replaced with characterless, shadeless sets of LED lights.
There are a lot of modern lights that we do like!
We do hope that one of the legacy firms like PIFCO or NOMA bring back the classic style lights, perhaps in low voltage LED form in sets of 20 and 40, and possibly 60-100 too with the old style shades, a mix and match option would be brilliant.
What do you think ?

4:25 omg, who did that 😂😂 I remember the unboxing video where you opened the bag and found those! Glad you got a set working. I use that same method of fault finding old lights, with one of those volt pen detectors. Good video and repair! Strange that the terminals kept snapping though, atleast they work!

[@daverutter3319]

great vid, ive got several (well probably several dozen) sets like this that are consigned to the 'repair at some point in the future'... i ought to get to work....!!!!

[@vcluk]

Yeah, stop slacking lol 😆

[@ROVER25X]

I've never seen bulbs do that before! The detector coming in clutch again.
