00:00Suki, are your homes ready for Christmas?
00:03It might be a bit sad because Christmas lights are no longer blinking.
00:08How do we know if it's broken or not?
00:11We're here with our Suki, Giovanni Vincent Roman,
00:14an electrical engineer, to find out what to do with our Christmas lights.
00:19Welcome to Dapat Alam Mo, Engineer Giovanni.
00:22Welcome, sir.
00:23There you go.
00:24Good afternoon, Kuya Kim.
00:25Why does it smell burnt? Is that normal?
00:26Yes, it's normal.
00:28Let me smell it.
00:29Giovanni, when it comes to Christmas lights,
00:31are they the same type of lights that can be used outside and inside the house?
00:34No, Kuya Kim.
00:35Actually, our Christmas lights have two types.
00:39There's indoor and outdoor.
00:41So, if you're going to buy and use it for outdoor,
00:44we need to make sure that it's written or indicated on the box that it can be used for outdoor.
00:48If you put the indoor light on the outdoor light, what will happen?
00:51It will burn because water will get inside.
00:53It's not sealed yet.
00:56But if you put the outdoor light on the indoor light?
00:58No problem.
00:59So, it's better to put the indoor light on the outdoor light?
01:01Yes.
01:01It's more durable.
01:02Yes.
01:03If it's sealed, how should the Christmas lights be repaired, Engineer?
01:07If, for example, your Christmas lights are broken and it doesn't work anymore,
01:13you can check it first because there might be a broken wire.
01:17So, for example, if you see a broken wire,
01:20what you need to do is, first,
01:24if you see a broken wire, you need to cover it with the wire.
01:27And then?
01:28You need to remove the insulator.
01:30Yes, the insulator.
01:31To conduct electricity.
01:32Once you remove it, you'll see that the wires are thin.
01:35Yes, once you cover it.
01:36So, once it's covered, we need to cover it.
01:40So, you'll see that the wire is too thin.
01:43So, it won't work.
01:43Engineer, for example, what will you do?
01:46I'm not an engineer or an electrician, but I can do it.
01:49Or do you really need to know how to do it?
01:51Ma'am Susan, you really need to know how to do it.
01:53Because these wires are too thin,
01:56you don't need to be skilled to do it.
01:58So, what are you putting in?
01:59I'm using it now as a soldering iron.
02:05Because if we don't use it as a soldering iron,
02:10it will be easily removed.
02:12Sir, not everyone knows how to use a soldering iron.
02:15Can it be an electrical tape or a masking tape?
02:17I'm not sure because if you use an electrical tape
02:22and you pull it,
02:23you'll still be able to separate it.
02:25So, you really need to know how to do it,
02:28especially when you're using a soldering iron, right?
02:30Yes, Ma'am Susan.
02:31So, you really need to be skilled to do it.
02:33And you really need to know the process of an electrical tape.
02:38Electrical.
02:38So, once we've loosened it,
02:41we've soldered it,
02:42we'll put an electrical tape on it.
02:43We need to make sure that the electrical tape is tight.
02:47Tight.
02:48I have a question, Engineer.
02:49How long should we leave the Christmas lights on
02:52so that it won't get hot?
02:53Can it be 24-7?
02:55Usually, if we're going to use it in our house,
02:58it's around 4-5 hours.
02:59Oh, just like that?
03:00Not overnight?
03:01Yes, not overnight.
03:01Because if we notice,
03:03why is it always on in the mall?
03:05Because the mall is air-conditioned.
03:07So, in our house, it's usually not air-conditioned.
03:10So, my advice is around 4-5 hours.
03:13But Engineer, these lights are LED,
03:15they're non-LED.
03:16Does it still get hot?
03:17Yes, it still gets hot.
03:18It's not just hot from our old incandescent bulbs
03:23that are Christmas lights.
03:24But it still gets hot.
03:25It still gets a little bit hot.
03:27And it's not just the bulb that we need to consider,
03:30but also the wires.
03:31The wires.
03:31Because sometimes, they get hot.
03:32These bulbs,
03:35can they be replaced, Engineer?
03:36No, Ma'am Susan.
03:38These new technologies that we have,
03:41the LEDs,
03:42these LEDs are already fused inside.
03:45So, it's disposable.
03:46If one LED light dies,
03:48will everyone die?
03:49Or is it not a series?
03:50It depends on the connection, Mr. Kim.
03:53So, for example,
03:54you can see that there are different colors.
03:56Yes.
03:56So, if there are different colors,
03:58for example,
03:59if there's a problem with the white color,
04:00only the white one will die.
04:01Ah, okay.
04:03So, not all of them.
04:03Most of the white ones will die.
04:04Yes.
04:05These wires,
04:06they easily get cracked, right?
04:07Yes, Ma'am Susan.
04:08Either outdoor, they both get cracked?
04:10Yes, Ma'am Susan.
04:11It's been a long time.
04:12These materials are already made in PVC.
04:16So, it's been a long time,
04:17especially if you're using it outdoors,
04:19it really cracks.
04:20So, it's been a long time,
04:21maybe three years.
04:23How does it cost to burn the Christmas lights?
04:26What really happens there?
04:27Mostly, Mr. Kim,
04:29our connections,
04:31for example,
04:32here in the LED,
04:33sometimes,
04:34it takes a long time,
04:35it starts to loosen.
04:36Because,
04:37as you saw earlier,
04:38it's too thin.
04:39What happens when the connection loosens?
04:41It gets hot.
04:42What happens when it gets hot?
04:43When it gets hot,
04:44it starts to melt.
04:45And when it melts,
04:46it will stick to the Christmas tree?
04:47Yes, it will stick to the Christmas tree
04:48or to the Christmas lights.
04:49Because,
04:50these materials
04:51can burn.
04:52So, it can catch fire.
04:53So, it can catch fire.
04:54For example,
04:55if it's too long,
04:56and I want to bend it,
04:57is that safe?
04:58Yes, Ma'am Susan.
04:59But,
05:00my advice is
05:01to bend it
05:02about three times.
05:03Just three times?
05:04Just three times.
05:05Let's not bend it too much.
05:06Because,
05:07some people do it like...
05:08And maybe,
05:09we should buy non-fake ones.
05:10There are a lot of non-fake ones.
05:11Let's buy them.
