Light Bulb Tester
All right kiddies, here's a mission for ya. When I was a kid and we put up the Christmas lights, we used to have a bulb tester. It was a was a little plastic thing that you put a 9-volt battery in and it had electrical contacts. So you could put a bulb in and see if it worked and find the one that wasn't working, replace it, and the whole string of lights would work again.
I tried to decorate last night. But 2 150 bulb strands wouldn't light at all and 1 100 bulb strand only lit half way. I have other lights that work, because I am insane and love Christmas, but those are for the tree. So does anyone know where I can get one of these testers? Because I hate the idea of throwing out so many lights, just because of one bulb that I can't find. I've seen them a couple of places online, but I don't really want to go through all that and wait for shipping etc. I want to go buy one somewhere. Or should I just join the rest of the American public in their mentality of "throw it out and buy a new one! they're cheap!"
You would think this has something to do with also not wanting to throw out something I spent good money on, but no. Someone gave me these lights. They worked last year, dammit!
