Hello
Just fitted some small low voltage (24v) outside lights to a tree. The lights are on a single loom and seem to be wired in 4 different circuits with a "twinkle" bulb in each circuit (distinguished by having a red base). Tested the bulbs before assembling and they al twinkled fine - takes about
30secs for them to get going.In order to get the lights in place I needed to splice in an extension wire - crimped and taped connections. The problem now is that I've lost my twinkle in all but one circuit. I've tried checking my joints and changing the twinkle bulbs but all to no avail - the bulbs mostly just stay permanently on.
All I can think is that I've somegow introduced too much resistance and the twinkle bulbs are no longer getting a large enough current through them to heat them to the magical twinkle point ;-)
Anyone know how I can get my twinkle back?
Pete
