Hey everyone!
I have built pvc frames for my windows to easily put up and take down lights every year. My light strand is not long enough to go all the way around. I did not want to double up lights anywhere and thought the best solution would be to extend my lights a few feet.
When I spliced the 2 strings together, everything worked perfect. As soon as I chopped off the excess of my new string, everything stopped working. I have no idea what to do with the 3 wires at the end of the strand.
This is the image of me connecting the 2 light strands: http://i.imgur.com/1ba7P3r.jpg
