Why are only half of my LED lights lighting up?
If half a strand is working and the other half is not, you probably have a loose or broken bulb. If not, you have the more tedious job of going down the row of unlit bulbs, one at a time, and swapping them for a known, good bulb until you find the culprit. You’ll know it when the strand lights back up.
Why are half my LED Christmas lights dim?
The LED string that I found had corrosion in a few spots where the LED wires simply touched the string wires making a poor connection. At least one LED had one of its wires severely corroded and ready to fall off. That would cause dimming before complete failure.
Why do LED Christmas lights fail?
LED strings can fail when LED leads corrode or wires break or fuses blow. Then a whole string or perhaps a half-string circuit would go out. Fixing any broken circuit involves locating the break, then repairing it.

Why did half of my Christmas lights go out?
For light strings that commonly have over 50 bulbs, they are constructed in 2 or more continuous circuits. If a bulb is missing in a circuit only the bulbs in series of it will go out. That’s how you can lose 1/2 or 1/3 or 1/4 of the string. But don’t lights stay on if a bulb burns out?

If the LED strip’s positive and negative copper pads do not have a voltage differential, power is not being fed to the LED strip due to a malfunction before the power can even reach the LED strip section.
