Christmas tree lights

Bob looks beneath the dogwoods at the two creatures. Each has two large multifaceted eyes. They never blink. Their six limbs are jointed in three places, and their stride lengths are close to five feet. One of the ants has a golden abdomen. The other has an abdomen that blinks red and green, like a Christmas tree light. 

A series circuit is one where the electrons have only one path along which they can move. When one load in a series circuit goes out, the circuit is open. An example of this is a set of Christmas tree lights that is missing a bulb. None of the bulbs will work. 

You may have experienced this problem with a series of light bulbs in a string of Christmas tree lights. In a series arrangement, when one l t fails, the current to other lights stops, resulting in all of the li ts being off. 

TBBA is cost effective and melt blendable in ABS, but it tends to lower the heat distortion temperature and the impact strength, as well as being vulnerable to UV. TBBA is used in epoxy polymers to make PCBs and can be converted to the bis-(2,3) dibromopropyl ether derivative, which is capable of meeting the requirements of UL-94 V-2 in high impact polystyrene and PP, despite its low bromine content. It is used in the US for wire nut connectors and in Christmas tree lights. TBBA is being subjected to assessments by various regulatory authorities. 

Section 11.7 recommends that temporary decorative loads such as Christmas tree lights should be supplied at SELV. In some cases, this compromises the attractiveness of the decorations and there is a temptation to supply them at 240 V to achieve the desired brilliance and luminance. In that case, if the lighting fixtures can be accessed by the public, there will be a need to provide RCD protection to minimise the risk of electric shock injuries, although the potential problems arising from nuisance tripping will need to be considered. 

The ribbon machine employs a puff-and-blow method to make incandescent light bulb envelopes (1200/min), dashbulb envelopes (2000/min), Christmas tree ornaments, and the like (Fig. 15). For larger articles, the turret chain machine also uses the puff-and-blow method, but produces less cuUet and uses individual glass gobs rather than ribbon. 

Decorative lights, such as those found on Christmas trees, often achieve their colors by painting the glass... 

The only illumination comes from the green and red lights emitted by the bioluminescent bacteria coating the trees. It reminds you of Christmas.
