of bulbs are burned out, extra stress is put on the
remaining bulbs in the circuit. This may cause
additional bulbs to burn out prematurely. When a fuse
bulb fails the entire circuit will not light.
• Risk of fire. This product employs overload protection (fuse bulb) in each
series circuit to provide overload protection in addition to the fuse(s) located in
the plug. Do not replace the fuse bulb contained in this set with any other
type of bulb. Use only spare fuse bulbs provided with this product.
