AHHH I always wondered why some had a white tip lol I assumed they were just odd ball bulbs they put on. The draw back is that the 12V dropped across the failed bulb is now shared between the other 19 bulbs in the set.

While you can connect several strings of lights, there is still a limit to the number of strands you can connect together.

Adding dedicated circuits and GFCI outlets, especially for exterior holiday lighting, can also help prevent this problem. Failing that, get a 12v supply and remove and test each bulb in sequence, starting with the fused ones first.

Seriously, they are designed to be the weak link in the chain to protect the rest of the circuit and they should be replaced like for like. If you're wondering why your Christmas light's fuse bulb keeps blowing, we have some tips that should help you solve the problem.

If you have lights that are ten years old or older, consider replacing them with newer, more energy-efficient lights. This can quickly lead to a chain reaction causing more and more bulbs to fail so some additional protection is required by way of this fuse bulb. If there's no fuse bulb in circuit, the chances of a fault condition leading to a fire may be increased, and almost certainly the chances of your home insurance paying out decreases, if no fuse bulb is found post-fire.
