well this was probably a stupid idea. i decided to use some old x-mas lights. So i wanted to shorten them.. i thought that if i did it by cutting the wire just before the first bulb then added some lenghth to the cord so it would reach my tank then lined up 5 lights about 30" in length. well the bubls are the real dark blue that dont give off much light. I hooked them up and blew them all. anyone know how to make this work?
