My husband did this last year to our house. We labeled them in order for storage. We put them up again yesterday in less than an hour because we already knew where to put each strand. Worked perfectly!

Question: what brand do you use? I was looking at novelty lights based on a comment from another video and the specs mentioned something like 136 7w lights per plug. Is there another option? That would work with 2 plugs for the eaves of the house but if I want to do ridges I’ll still have to figure out a crazy extension solution.

Depending on if you’re using incandescent or LED bulbs. Incandescent you can only run up to 4-5 strands, then you’ll need to run another power supply or you’ll start blowing fuses. LED you can run up to 15-18 strands on one power supply. There’s a little math side to it with the fuses in the factory males and the bulbs

Yeah, sort of. The lights are rated for outdoor use and will have an IP rating like IP4 or something. Higher the number the better for handling water. That being said you don’t want water to get into your female plugs so either position them away from water (ie downward) or cover them with electrical tape.

Pop off two sockets, and add a male, no need for the jumper because of the longer tail and 2 less connections that could fail 🫡
