we have a 12 ft tree here at my work that I put up every year. Last year when I put it up half of the lights didn't work- I tried to find any broken ones but ran out of time and ended up just putting on extra strings of lights on the dead branches. I want to fix it this year without having to resort to the extra bulk of string lights- how can I find the cause of the problem an fix it?!

Very good question. I had this same problem a few years ago. The first time I did what you did. After the next year I got so angry with the lights that I cut them off the tree and now I just put lights on it. What I should have done was go out and buy a bulb tester(you can get one at Target, wal-mart, or any Drug store) this will take a little time but you are sure to find the bad bulb. Hope it is the first one you test!!

HOW TO FIX OR REPAIR CHRISTMAS LIGHT IN 2 MINUTES WITHOUT TOOLS:
1- CHECK IF THERE IS A BULB MISSING
2- IF YOU DON'T HAVE A REPLACEMENT BULB, IT'S OKAY.
3-TAKE A PIECE OF AN ALUMINIUM PAPER AND ROLLED UP
4-INSERT THE ALUMINIUM PAPER THAT YOU ROLLED INSTEAD OF THE MISSING

I had that issue with my pre-lit tree. The problem with my tree was that not all the lights were plugged in properly. So once they were all plugged in properly they worked.
Check that the fuses are also good in each set of lights.
Make sure that the tree is unplugged when you are checking all these things so you don't get shocked.
