<p>As usual, the Tip of the Day comes courtesy of a customer question.  They wanted to know how long a standard string of Christmas lights should last before a bulb burns out.  For this question, I contacted one of our main vendors.  I was told that a standard string of Christmas lights whether it be a 50 light set or 100 light set should be able to last 1000 hours.  We are talking about AC powered strands of light only.  So, do not apply this to any kind of battery powered light or strands with different types of bulbs such as LED, C9, or fiber optics.</p>
