Holiday Lighting Installation Ann Arbor
Broken Bulbs: Identify the Broken Bulbs: Look for bulbs that appear dark, broken, or burnt out. You 
may need to replace one or several to restore functionality.

Replace the Bulbs: Most holiday lights come with replacement bulbs. Ensure the new bulb matches the voltage and wattage of the original. Carefully remove the broken bulb and insert the new one.

Corroded Sockets: Use a small brush or a can of compressed air to remove debris and corrosion from the sockets. Ensure the lights are unplugged before cleaning.

Tangled Wires: Slowly and gently untangle the wires, avoiding any sharp pulls that might damage the strand. Storage Tips: To prevent future tangles, wrap the lights around a spool, piece of cardboard, or a dedicated light reel when storing them.
