Some strings of miniature incandescents have bulbs failing short rather

Usually these things fail because of a bad connection in the socket.
All that fail/short stuff doesn't help then.
Actually, not my experience at all, in
recent years, anyway. Most of the failures
have been caused by lamp failures where
shunts not shorting out to keep the
entire string going.
