@bascule I lack perspective having not been around, but aren't the small lights always series and big ones parallel?

@mcpherrinm perhaps the other way around? -
@bascule you are tempting me to go get a multimeter and xmas lights instead of keeping drinking. small lights would be low voltage so series -
@mcpherrinm but you can remove one bulb and they stay on so parallel -
@bascule or it could be a current shunt -
@mcpherrinm it seems the situation was more complex than I ever realized. Par for the course
