urthegman 1 Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 I have noticed that since I switched over to all LEDs 4 years ago that I have not blown ONE fuse YET!!! So my question is, how many fuses on LED sets have you blown since you started using them? Sincerely,Curious George lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sincerely,Curious George lol Are we talking about mains voltage AC supplied LEDs or low voltage DC supplied LEDs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michelle Kraklow 13 Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 I have been using LEDS now for 4 years and this was the first year that I had to change out a fuse on one set of lights. The only reason for that had to do with all the rain we were having at the time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But yet, they still give you two extra with every string. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
urthegman 1 Posted March 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Are we talking about mains voltage AC supplied LEDs or low voltage DC supplied LEDs AC Eddy, but it sounds like you have a little experience blowing out the DC fuses??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

All the moisture we had up north turned white! Which in some aspects is a good thing! A few plastic bags strategically placed protected everything! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Apache Lights 10 Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Ok... As long as it's been brought up. Creative ideas for something to do with all those extra little fuses. I assume like me everyone keeps looking at them, picking them up and letting them flow through their fingers like grains of sand. Remember there are no bad ideas; the fuses are just piling up.

JackStevens 10 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 I've never replaced a fuse with LED strings. But then, I've also never had to replace a fuse on any incandescent string, either. I just watch my current load. I have popped GFCI's and overloaded circuit breakers to the point they trip. As near as I can tell, the fuses for the LED strings are the same as the ones for the incandescent. I've been mixing the stash, and can't tell any of them apart.
