Tangled

After abandoning the lights last night I returned to them this afternoon after some zoom meetings. I had some “help”.

It took an hour or so but every set untangled and just 5 bulbs needing replaced. Years of untangling casts when fly fishing ( I am not a great angler) have built up my skills with such knotty issues. My previous solution when faced with real problems was to unscrew one of the cables from the plug and thread the free end through the nest of wires. Nowadays plugs are sealed so it was a matter of patience and perseverance.
