   I have been called uppon by SWMBO to repair her Pifco Xmas   
   tree lights which she purchased over 5 years ago.   
   (Yes, we have plenty of modern LED versions to   
   replace them)   
      
   1. The instructions say that if one bulb of the 20 fails,   
   then the res will remain illuminated. What's the technology   
   here because they're all wired in series?   
      
   2. Is the Fuse Bulb a capacitive unit, because I get a momentary   
   flick of the ohmmeter?
