More Cheap Imported Junk

Last year about this time, we bought ten strings of those icicle style Christmas lights to decorate the house. Mrs. Bobert liked the blue ones, and they did look really neat after installation.

I just got through putting them back up for this season, and guess what? About a third of the lights are now white. turns out the bulbs were painted with a blue tint that is just plain falling off.

So now we have blue/white icicle decorations. The really neat effect of solid deep blue lighting is totally toasted. I could try repainting each bulb by hand, but I don"t have that much time left.

Thank you China, for your cheap crap.
