Outdoor Christmas Lights - Between Strings?
I'm hanging outdoor Christmas along my house this year. If I need a gap of darkness along a strand of lights, is it safe to remove bulbs along that section or will water get in there and cause issues?
I want to do this for sections where a strand goes around my door and then over to the next window. I'd like the section between not to be lit.
Also, is it safe to have an outdoor extension cord between strands?

Typically the lights won't work if you have more than a couple bulbs missing or burnt out.
Perhaps you can put one string up from one side of the house and one string up from another? This would work if you have two different outlets to plug into.
But it loses its thread
Looks like I'll be running another extension cord up!
Purely aesthetic. But all strings I'm using are white. I did end up just running extension cords down beside the gutter, so all is well. Just strange that they make lights that way.
I even went to Home Depot to explain and the guy didn't believe me. He went and opened a package and was shocked they do that.
