I have a nice 2 dimensional painted angel which is outlined in the small incan lights, about 36. I replaced ALL the lamps last season since many were blown. I replaced some blue ones yesterday with bulbs that were darker blue glass (not just a splash of blue on the tip). She was shining last night, but today ALL the bulbs are smoked. There are about a dozen each of amber, blue, and pink/red lamps.
How should I troubleshoot this? The string is white plastic & the lamp holders are made to fit into clips on the angel, so replacing the string would be difficult. The plug does not have a removable fuse; I could destroy the plug to see what's inside (it is obviously a press fit, but not made to be taken apart). AFAIK these are the normal 2.5V bulbs.
I have one of those string tester "guns" that will pulse to trip a fusible link in a burnt out lamp, beep to find a short, etc.
