Where it says "made in xxxx", what is xxxx? Do you trust the English
to have been carefully and accurately written and/or transcribed?


Maybe older strings used 105W, and were revised to use 72W, but the
package wasn't carefully proofed.


Maybe the numbers are in octal.

It is time for that old joke about Halloween equalling Christmas for
programmers? (OCT31 = DEC25)

On most of mine the piggy back plug does not go thru the fuses. A
cheap way to replace the fuse is to wrap a small bit of aluminum foil
around it. You can plug more strings onto the end that way as well.
You are breaking the safety rules but the wire will handle a few more
strings and a dead short will melt the foil.
