With the larger lights (C7, C9) that screw in, the bulbs can loosen in the socket or possibly overheat, melting tinsel or plastic ornaments. Even worse, if one bulb is out, a whole section of the string of lights will go out. For one, putting them up and taking them down can wiggle the bulbs and cause intermittent contact in the socket, making them go out or come back on. There are some common issues with this type of light. The contacts on the light bulb are thin wires that are bent back and contact the socket when the bulb is pressed in. Traditional “mini lights” use a tiny incandescent bulb that presses into a plastic socket.
