Mini light spacings are...WRONG!

We get lots of responses to our miniature Christmas light strings stating that they spacings are, "Wrong, all these light spacings are wrong!". Well, I have your answer! Mini Light bulbs are not exactly spaced at the intervals at which say, they wire however is cut to the spacings.

So let's say we have a 4-inch spaced set, now some of our manufacturers cut the wire to make the bulbs and socket be around 4 inches, but some companies cut the wire at 4 inches...then insert the wire into the socket which shortens the space between the bulbs.

We are in process of phasing out our spacing category names because the confusion, but will all miniature Christmas lights, be it 2.5 Inch spaced, 4 inch, 6 inch, or 8 inch you have to realize the spacings may not be exactly what the manufacturers say it is.
