Outdoor led Christmas lights

    8 function 800 micro led bulb set.

    Worked perfectly before I put them up.

    Soldered connection parted company where 31 volt 2 wires to the 3 wires to which the leds are connected.

    I don’t know which 2 of the 3 wires connect to one of the two wires.

    Christmas - ya gotta love it!

    Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi, I'm not sure what this means. Any chance of a photo?

    This is what the broken connection used to look like

    On right 31 volt +/-

    On left the three green wires to which leds are attached

    Hope this helps.

    800 leds sounds like a nightmare if there's a failure somewhere

    After all the hassle of putting them would be a killer

    Still not sure. Strip back that insulating sleeve and see what connection you get. With addressable LED's you have two power pins and then a data pin, but I don't think you have addressable LED's, so I'm not sure what that connection is (2 wire to 3 wire).

    It's funny how they made this lighting set with waterproofed in-line LED's but then reverted back to a sleeved connector for the DC input. 🤨

    Yes!! Luckily I have a couple of 200 led strings so will put them up instead. Might leave it until Christmas Eve!

    The risk is high of some type of failure with that many connections etc

    Ya'd see it a lot in the few sets i've owned
