Led lights are commonly found in long strings of lights used at christmas and other holidays for decoration. I hade the same problem on a set of ge led lights. I put a new bulb in and boom fixed.

Thanks to everyone for the help. See led christmas lights and how to fix them by terry ritter. The first several search results made me gag. Second half of strand was out.

If the bulb does not come on after tightening it remove the bulb and check to see if the center wire is in the middle of the bulb if it is. If it flickers and goes out again the problem is a loose bulb. I kept searching and further down the list was a fellow who described in detail how strings of led lights work technically. You may find that some leds stop working and this causes many people to dispose of the entire string.

A light bulb has come out of its socket or is half out of its socket and it has brought down the circuit. If you find one open it and inspect the very small fuses inside the plug. Led stands for light emitting diode and refers to a lighting element that is purer and stronger than regular incandescent light. Tighten the bulb gently and checked to see if the rest of the strand lit up.

With the lights plugged in use the voltage detector to check the live voltage wire between each light starting at the end that plugs into the wall outlet. I took out each light staring at the end and i found one with a wire broken off of the bulb. Incandescent christmas tree lights aka mini lights are wired in series so if your lights go partially out you have one of three issues. The fist step is to find the led that is no longer working.

People actually suggested cutting out the offending half string and patching in another one. They do not have replaceable bulbs because they are all molded into the string.
