I must string about 100 sets of Christmas lights (50 lights per string) at Christmas time. Should I wrap up each connection when I connect six sets together? Reason why I ask is that I have the GFI outlets trip when it rains when my Christmas lights are strung on the shrubs.
Until everything dries out, those outlets will not reset. Sometimes I have to wait a day or two (with no rain) for the outlets to be reset.
If all I have to wrap up is the connections that are lying on the ground, then that is doable and I will give that a try come this December.
