RE-LAMPING LIGHT STRINGS
WARNING – RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!! Disconnect power at source prior to re-lamping light strings. For
outdoor light strings, do NOT re-lamp light strings during rain or other inclement weather conditions.
1. Re-lamp light strings only during dry and calm weather conditions.
2. Unscrew existing lamps by lightly holding the socket in one hand and twisting the lamp counter-
clockwise. Lamps may be tight in the sockets. This is normal to prevent moisture from getting into
the socket.
3. Replace with proper wattage and type lamps according to the following chart.
4. DO NOT OVERLOAD SOCKETS OR LIGHT STRING!!
