One of his latest inventions is the Stay-lit® Christmas light
string. This product is being sold in
some of the largest retail chains in the country. They were previously available in Canada,
England, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Stay-lit®
Christmas Lights and Pre-Lighted Trees– “STAY LIT - ALWAYS!”
Never
worry about an entire strand of lights going out again or having to climb up a
ladder to find that one bulb that is causing the entire strand of lights to go
out!
A hundred years from now, a Stay-lit® Christmas light string will never
have gone out. Yes, individual bulbs may
burn out from time to time but the string will never go out – (unless, of
course, you cut the wire or a fuse blows!).
The reason for this is that inside of every light socket there is a tiny
thermistor microchip that acts as a ‘silent sentry’ to keep the light string
operating. When all bulbs in the string
are operating properly, the chip does nothing.
However, as soon as something happens to a bulb – whether it gets
broken; becomes loose in the socket; falls from the socket; burns out or
whatever – the chip takes over and acts as if it were a bulb to keep the rest
of the string operating properly. It even acts as a kind of “surge protector”
to protect the bulbs from power surges caused by other bulbs in the string
burning out.
Because of
the Patented Stay-lit® Technology, the lights last longer than a regular light string, making your Holiday Display
better than ever.
You can also create a beautiful
“Twinkling Effect” by inserting several ‘flasher’ type bulbs in a Stay-lit®
light string. When a “flasher bulb” is placed in the socket of an ordinary
light string, the entire light string flashes off and on. When placed in a Stay-Lit® light
string, just that bulb flashes off and on.
Place several flasher bulbs in a string for a very pleasing random
twinkle effect. Stay-lit® Pre-Lighted trees even come with
the“Twinkling Effect” already built in.
Stay-lit® light strings
and Pre-Lighted Artificial trees are sold in major retail stores. Beware of
knock-offs with similar meaning names – they do NOT do what Stay-lit® light strings do. The Stay-lit® secret is in the
socket – not in the bulb. You don’t have
to buy special bulbs. For bulb
replacement, use standard bulbs.
Sylvania® Stay-lit®
incorporates new high technology circuitry requiring the use of standard bulbs
found in other 50 or 100 light strings.
Replacement bulbs for these strings can be found in standard low cost
non-Stay-lit® light strings.
