1
00:00:00,070 --> 00:00:01,313
It’s time.

2
00:00:01,313 --> 00:00:03,042
[claps twice]

3
00:00:04,572 --> 00:00:09,349
Hello and welcome to the final installment of this year’s
No Effort November.

4
00:00:09,349 --> 00:00:15,391
Once again I’m testing various ways to fix the horrors of
modern LED christmaholiday lights.

5
00:00:15,391 --> 00:00:19,918
Since it’s been a couple of years since I’ve done this and the channel has grown a lot since then,

6
00:00:19,918 --> 00:00:22,630
allow me to fill you in on this madness.

7
00:00:22,630 --> 00:00:24,148
I love Christmas lights.

8
00:00:24,483 --> 00:00:26,884
I don’t go all out like Clark Griswold does

9
00:00:26,884 --> 00:00:32,538
but decorating with electric lights on strings has always
been perhaps my favorite part of the holiday season.

10
00:00:32,538 --> 00:00:34,460
I also like LEDs.

11
00:00:34,460 --> 00:00:39,042
The light emitting diode is a fantastic invention and it’s only been getting better and better.

12
00:00:39,608 --> 00:00:40,657
Except...

13
00:00:40,741 --> 00:00:44,390
in this particular application where they make my eyes burn

14
00:00:44,390 --> 00:00:49,293
because apparently people are still impressed
by copious amounts of monochromatic blue

15
00:00:49,293 --> 00:00:52,300
and haven’t realized how hideous it is yet.

16
00:00:52,300 --> 00:00:54,490
Now, white lights?

17
00:00:54,490 --> 00:00:56,687
We’ve got these down pretty good.

18
00:00:57,316 --> 00:01:05,040
Well, except for the fact that we still only put a few diodes in the circuit on one end to protect the lights from reverse current flow

19
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,775
and thus they’re only half-wave rectified.

20
00:01:07,775 --> 00:01:11,303
I can see that these are pulsing just looking at them.

21
00:01:11,303 --> 00:01:13,566
It’s even worse in my peripheral vision.

22
00:01:14,509 --> 00:01:18,595
That still needs work no doubt but this color is a fine warm-white,

23
00:01:18,595 --> 00:01:21,764
particularly when you consider how dirt cheap these are.

24
00:01:21,764 --> 00:01:27,959
You would think that somebody in charge of the manufacturing of mass-market Christmas lights would think to themselves

25
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:32,361
“Hey, what if we just made a whole bunch of white LEDs,

26
00:01:32,361 --> 00:01:35,112
you know like in the days when lights were always white?

27
00:01:35,112 --> 00:01:39,232
And then to give them color we put differently-colored caps over them

28
00:01:39,232 --> 00:01:42,828
to filter that light and make colors the ol' fashioned way?

29
00:01:42,828 --> 00:01:48,258
That might even cost a little less because then we could just make 12 trillion white LEDs

30
00:01:48,258 --> 00:01:53,017
instead of 6 trillion white ones and then 1 trillion each of a bunch of other colors.”

31
00:01:53,017 --> 00:01:55,847
Much to my chagrin that still hasn’t happened,

32
00:01:55,847 --> 00:01:59,898
so I’ve been sticking to incandescent lights for my multi-colored needs.

33
00:01:59,898 --> 00:02:04,889
But in the meantime, I’ve been testing various methods of hand-coloring the lights

34
00:02:04,889 --> 00:02:07,445
and here we are yet again.

35
00:02:07,445 --> 00:02:10,556
In 2018 I tried using ordinary paints.

36
00:02:10,556 --> 00:02:15,603
I was hoping to use something that was pigmented rather than dye-based for colorfastness.

37
00:02:15,603 --> 00:02:20,631
That just didn’t work at all because it was too hard to get the correct coat thickness.

38
00:02:20,631 --> 00:02:27,631
But, I discovered that just coloring the bulbs with Sharpies did a pretty good job at replicating the look of incandescent light sets.

39
00:02:27,631 --> 00:02:32,760
However, those lights quickly faded in the Western sun.

40
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:37,467
Only a month (of the shortest days of the year, mind you) made them pretty dull.

41
00:02:37,467 --> 00:02:43,430
I mean, I really wasn’t expecting much in the way of longevity 
but hoped for a little better than that.

42
00:02:43,807 --> 00:02:47,259
In 2019 I tried transparent model paints.

43
00:02:47,259 --> 00:02:54,280
That appeared to work a treat except for the fact that my bottle of yellow paint was apparently super old and wasn’t working well.

44
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:59,850
I ended up mixing in just a smidge of red paint and this improved the color quite a bit.

45
00:03:00,227 --> 00:03:04,356
I don’t remember if I ever did what I meant
to do and put a video up on Conenxtras

46
00:03:04,356 --> 00:03:06,545
about how well they held up over the … wait.

47
00:03:06,545 --> 00:03:08,502
I can just look into that.

48
00:03:08,502 --> 00:03:11,140
Wow, I did, apparently!

49
00:03:11,140 --> 00:03:12,659
Heh, look at that.

50
00:03:12,659 --> 00:03:16,403
Uh, but so that everyone knows, they actually held up quite well.

51
00:03:16,696 --> 00:03:18,361
In fact, here they are!

52
00:03:18,361 --> 00:03:24,419
I couldn’t even notice a color difference between the half that got a UV protective clear coat and the half that didn’t.

53
00:03:24,419 --> 00:03:26,516
Oh right, I did that, too.

54
00:03:26,516 --> 00:03:28,808
So, what’s in store for this year?

55
00:03:28,808 --> 00:03:30,135
Well a few things.

56
00:03:30,135 --> 00:03:31,091
But first!

57
00:03:31,091 --> 00:03:35,711
I ran to Warrlllmart to get some plain white lights for 'sperimenting on

58
00:03:35,711 --> 00:03:42,219
and for giggles got this matching set of colored lights to see if I could maybe swap the caps over.

59
00:03:42,219 --> 00:03:46,671
Sometimes that’s possible but it’s really hit or miss, but folks…

60
00:03:46,671 --> 00:03:49,363
I might be able to tolerate these.

61
00:03:49,363 --> 00:03:56,995
For one, I didn’t notice in the store that this is the objectively supreme combo of red, green, blue, and yellow

62
00:03:56,995 --> 00:04:00,934
with none of that orange, pink, teal, magenta, or purple nonsense

63
00:04:00,934 --> 00:04:04,773
but also this yellow isn’t a monochromatic yellow.

64
00:04:04,773 --> 00:04:07,846
That’s a white diode under a yellow cap!

65
00:04:07,846 --> 00:04:11,566
So it actually pops in brightness, just like the old sets.

66
00:04:11,566 --> 00:04:13,484
We’re ¼ the way there!

67
00:04:14,490 --> 00:04:18,594
The blue, green, and red are still monochromatic
but this is real progress.

68
00:04:19,235 --> 00:04:27,776
What’s more, in the last video I said I probably wouldn’t mind LED sets that much 
if they could just tone down the blue and well…

69
00:04:27,776 --> 00:04:34,247
they didn’t tone it down on any individual light
but they reduced the number of them in a set!

70
00:04:34,247 --> 00:04:39,321
There are fewer blue lights in these strands than the other colors, and honestly?

71
00:04:39,929 --> 00:04:45,250
I plugged these in and thought 
“I… could deal with this.”

72
00:04:45,250 --> 00:04:52,529
Now I’ve since returned to the store and can report that regrettably it’s only these 50 light sets that are like this—

73
00:04:52,529 --> 00:04:57,275
the 100 light sets had orange, too, but I didn’t plug them in to judge them.

74
00:04:57,275 --> 00:05:04,866
Actually it’s real slim pickin’s at my local Warrrlllmart this year but anyway I’m just saying that this combo ain’t half bad.

75
00:05:05,411 --> 00:05:08,835
Still, this ain’t gonna stop me from seeking
perfection.

76
00:05:08,835 --> 00:05:11,373
Remember, this is what I want to emulate.

77
00:05:11,373 --> 00:05:14,091
These beautiful sets of mini-lights.

78
00:05:14,091 --> 00:05:17,287
Given that transparent model paint was the winner last year,

79
00:05:17,287 --> 00:05:22,817
I ordered a couple of different varieties of transparent craft paints to see if they might be any better.

80
00:05:22,817 --> 00:05:23,793
They were not.

81
00:05:23,793 --> 00:05:27,528
I gave up with this set after realizing this was a finicky pain,

82
00:05:27,528 --> 00:05:34,991
and while the other set of paints was much more promising it was also quite thin and would have required multiple coats to get a good color.

83
00:05:34,991 --> 00:05:38,653
If this were any other month I might have stuck with it but no.

84
00:05:38,653 --> 00:05:43,807
Actually if I do this again I’m gonna get an airbrush and try applying the paint that way

85
00:05:43,807 --> 00:05:47,445
because I think that might solve a lot of headaches but anyway...

86
00:05:47,445 --> 00:05:49,173
I also tried dye.

87
00:05:49,173 --> 00:05:51,037
As in fabric dye.

88
00:05:51,037 --> 00:05:57,097
I saw a comment about this stuff being effective for dyeing plastics so I thought it was worth a shot.

89
00:05:57,097 --> 00:06:04,564
It showed some promise but also the clear plastic I actually wanted to dye...

90
00:06:04,564 --> 00:06:08,508
doesn’t seem to tolerate the high temperatures required all that well.

91
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,539
And also just wasn’t taking to the dye.

92
00:06:11,539 --> 00:06:17,576
Even if this did work, it would have been a pretty finicky process
since it would require removing the bulbs,

93
00:06:17,576 --> 00:06:21,820
which I discovered the last time I did this isn’t very smart.

94
00:06:21,820 --> 00:06:27,306
But I forgot about that discovery and removed ‘em all from this
set anyway when I first started this year’s nonsense.

95
00:06:27,306 --> 00:06:30,121
When will I ever learn?

96
00:06:30,121 --> 00:06:32,564
So now I bring you to this year’s winner.

97
00:06:32,564 --> 00:06:35,577
And it’s something that can be obtained just about anywhere,

98
00:06:35,577 --> 00:06:38,523
is easier to apply than anything we’ve tried so far,

99
00:06:38,523 --> 00:06:41,671
and can be had in many, many colors.

100
00:06:41,671 --> 00:06:45,152
Here are the results on a completed strand.

101
00:06:45,152 --> 00:06:52,029
This product gives a frosted look which isn’t exactly common
in the mini-light space but isn’t unheard of, either.

102
00:06:52,029 --> 00:06:57,634
And honestly in some ways I prefer it because, 
while these mini-lights have gotten pretty good,

103
00:06:57,634 --> 00:07:02,928
they still throw light rather directionally and frosting the plastic helps tame that.

104
00:07:03,578 --> 00:07:05,118
What is this product?

105
00:07:05,118 --> 00:07:06,780
Nail polish.

106
00:07:06,780 --> 00:07:10,442
Yep. Just cheap nail polish and nothing more.

107
00:07:10,442 --> 00:07:15,896
Honestly this hits a pretty huge sweet spot for me when it comes to overall practicality.

108
00:07:15,896 --> 00:07:18,533
The bottles come with their own applicator brushes,

109
00:07:18,533 --> 00:07:21,558
the product itself goes on thick and uniformly,

110
00:07:21,558 --> 00:07:23,642
and it dries quickly, too.

111
00:07:23,642 --> 00:07:30,081
The only thing I wish I had was a deeper green—
I couldn’t see anything quite as dark as I was hoping to get,

112
00:07:30,081 --> 00:07:34,884
so this color is a little more like an apple green than I’d like.

113
00:07:34,884 --> 00:07:37,094
Still, though, it’s not bad.

114
00:07:37,094 --> 00:07:42,076
And the blue is letting plenty of light through even with a fairly thick coat.

115
00:07:42,076 --> 00:07:47,053
Now, when it’s wet nail polish is flammable
which might concern some of you out there.

116
00:07:47,053 --> 00:07:50,803
If you’re worried about that, just apply it when the lights are off.

117
00:07:50,803 --> 00:07:55,459
However, since these are LEDs and basically don’t produce
heat at all,

118
00:07:55,459 --> 00:07:59,578
I’m not concerned about that and would rather be able to see how well it’s applying.

119
00:07:59,578 --> 00:08:06,514
I also sacrificed some bulbs to test the flammability of dried nail polish and at least with these products,

120
00:08:06,514 --> 00:08:08,775
I wouldn’t call this a concern.

121
00:08:08,775 --> 00:08:12,996
Oh by the way I did this outside first, then found out it was safe enough to do in here.

122
00:08:12,996 --> 00:08:15,047
I mean, It’s - it's cold out there!

123
00:08:15,047 --> 00:08:19,035
Anyway, what’s burning here is the plastic of the light itself.

124
00:08:19,035 --> 00:08:22,532
The nail polish doesn’t seem
to have any accelerating effect.

125
00:08:22,630 --> 00:08:26,902
I will admit that I think this is a worse result than the transparent model paint

126
00:08:26,902 --> 00:08:31,585
(though I actually think the red on the nail polish
strand is considerably better)

127
00:08:31,585 --> 00:08:36,922
but I would consider this less of a hassle overall for a lot of reasons.

128
00:08:36,922 --> 00:08:39,765
It’s pretty much a “have right at it” kind of thing

129
00:08:39,765 --> 00:08:42,758
with no additional prep or equipment required.

130
00:08:42,758 --> 00:08:49,167
Plus you can get this is a wild array of colors in many common
stores so it has that benefit as well.

131
00:08:49,167 --> 00:08:55,963
A second coat did make the colors more intense so I would probably do two coats if I were committing to a run of these.

132
00:08:55,963 --> 00:08:59,443
And who knows how long this might hold up in the elements.

133
00:08:59,443 --> 00:09:01,467
We’ll find out, though!

134
00:09:01,467 --> 00:09:06,313
I didn’t get anysort of top-coat product and that would probably help these out,

135
00:09:06,313 --> 00:09:10,354
but also if these do well on their own yippee I guess.

136
00:09:10,354 --> 00:09:12,864
Now, I have a confession to make.

137
00:09:12,864 --> 00:09:16,437
At this point, I’m just doing this to prove a point.

138
00:09:16,437 --> 00:09:21,239
That these colors are just waiting to be implemented
by the manufacturers,

139
00:09:21,239 --> 00:09:25,963
and as I said in the last video, I don’t get why this isn’t a thing yet.

140
00:09:25,963 --> 00:09:32,924
I even suggested selling sets without caps and selling the caps separately for make-your-own-color sets

141
00:09:32,924 --> 00:09:36,237
and in these two years I don’t think that’s been a thing.

142
00:09:36,237 --> 00:09:38,868
Now I can sort of see why,

143
00:09:38,868 --> 00:09:42,622
maybe none of the Christmas light set manufacturers have
watched my video,

144
00:09:42,622 --> 00:09:47,838
maybe none of the mental energy I project towards them when I brush my teeth every night is making it,

145
00:09:47,838 --> 00:09:52,422
or maybe it’s just hard to sell a light set that’s incomplete like that.

146
00:09:52,422 --> 00:09:58,517
Perhaps getting UL certification on a set like that wouldn’t be easy, but surely something’s gotta be possible.

147
00:09:58,517 --> 00:10:05,245
I can’t possibly be the only person on this
Earth who is bugged by these garish colors.

148
00:10:05,245 --> 00:10:09,571
I mean, for one thing they still sell incandescent light sets every year!

149
00:10:09,571 --> 00:10:11,903
And like, I might be annoyed with that

150
00:10:11,903 --> 00:10:15,949
were it not for the fact that they’re just so much better looking than these.

151
00:10:15,949 --> 00:10:19,468
And that’s not, like, my opinion, that's an objective fact!

152
00:10:19,468 --> 00:10:27,354
Plus they only get about a month of use each year which also
happens to be during a part of the year where electrical demand tends to be low.

153
00:10:27,354 --> 00:10:31,759
Plus - these beautiful twinkling sets exist and the LED versions,

154
00:10:31,759 --> 00:10:34,989
while nice in their own way, don’t hold a candle to 'em.

155
00:10:35,560 --> 00:10:40,276
It turns out I’m not the only person who
dislikes these gaudy colors.

156
00:10:40,276 --> 00:10:42,976
There’s at least one other person out there,

157
00:10:42,976 --> 00:10:46,158
and unlike me they were willing to go the extra...

158
00:10:46,158 --> 00:10:53,290
thousand miles to start their own business manufacturing
LED replacements for these beauties.

159
00:10:53,290 --> 00:10:56,769
Quick note - this is a C9 set,

160
00:10:56,769 --> 00:11:05,451
and C9 is a bulb-shape designation that for some reason or another has hung around all this time to describe Christmas lights.

161
00:11:05,451 --> 00:11:09,993
You can still get these as incandescent sets, 
at least in my next of the woods,

162
00:11:09,993 --> 00:11:14,998
and they sure are pretty but holy cow are they not efficient!

163
00:11:14,998 --> 00:11:19,145
You can just *feel* the heat coming off of these.

164
00:11:19,145 --> 00:11:20,860
It’s not great.

165
00:11:20,860 --> 00:11:28,534
The folks behind Tru-Tone light bulbs, who are not sponsoring this and besides I don’t even have any that I could show you

166
00:11:28,953 --> 00:11:30,005
— yet —

167
00:11:30,005 --> 00:11:35,828
did the work of contracting with a light bulb manufacturer to make LED versions of these.

168
00:11:36,373 --> 00:11:39,162
And like, yeah! 
Why the heck not?

169
00:11:39,162 --> 00:11:45,968
We’ve been making LED filament bulbs for a long
time now and they’ve gotten really good and pretty small,

170
00:11:45,968 --> 00:11:51,689
so why not just make a little 5 or 7 watt equivalent bulb in this shape

171
00:11:51,689 --> 00:11:55,325
and then put a ceramic paint coating on there like we used to?

172
00:11:55,325 --> 00:11:57,763
I’m glad somebody’s thinking this through.

173
00:11:57,763 --> 00:12:04,097
Apparently they’ve gone so far as to mimic the little tent-shape filament most clear bulbs had

174
00:12:04,097 --> 00:12:10,841
and they sell clear as well as different colored tinted clear sets, too (in the C7 size at least.)

175
00:12:10,841 --> 00:12:14,511
Again, I don’t have any affiliation with these people

176
00:12:14,511 --> 00:12:18,083
but I like the way they think and I hope they succeed.

177
00:12:18,083 --> 00:12:23,382
They’ve even specifically put in the FAQ that no, they don’t use colored LEDs,

178
00:12:23,382 --> 00:12:28,882
all the filaments are warm-white 
and the color comes from the glass just like the good ol’ days

179
00:12:28,882 --> 00:12:31,360
so clearly they're after my heart.

180
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:35,644
It looks like they’re doing pretty well as some varieties are sold out already.

181
00:12:35,644 --> 00:12:40,092
Sadly to those of you in 240 lands, they don’t make them for you yet.

182
00:12:40,092 --> 00:12:41,305
Here’s hoping, though!

183
00:12:41,850 --> 00:12:45,381
Oh, but did you ever have sets like this?

184
00:12:45,381 --> 00:12:50,373
I don’t know enough about your holiday light
norms over there but I kind of get the sense

185
00:12:50,373 --> 00:12:58,502
that mains voltage running through cheaply-made
light sockets intended to be stung outdoors isn’t exactly the norm.

186
00:12:58,502 --> 00:13:00,614
If the folks at Tru-Tone are watching,

187
00:13:00,614 --> 00:13:03,330
I would highly suggest a couple of things.

188
00:13:03,330 --> 00:13:11,275
One, could you pretty please maybe come up with some
sort of colored sleeve product for slipping over these mini-lights?

189
00:13:11,275 --> 00:13:17,149
I love C9 sets and use them, but I also like the mini-lights a lot, too,

190
00:13:17,149 --> 00:13:20,793
and I feel like this would be a fairly simple thing to manufacture.

191
00:13:20,793 --> 00:13:29,009
Plus it would allow for really easy color changes and you could potentially sell them for more seasonal occasions than just the winter holidays.

192
00:13:29,009 --> 00:13:34,543
You might find people really like the idea of changing the colors to all sorts of combos.

193
00:13:34,543 --> 00:13:38,601
Most importantly, though, it could end this madness.

194
00:13:38,601 --> 00:13:42,496
The other thing I’d suggest is a look at
search engine optimization.

195
00:13:42,496 --> 00:13:47,727
I had heard of your product last year and actually went looking
for it a couple of weeks ago

196
00:13:47,727 --> 00:13:52,393
but whatever search terms I was using didn’t pull you up right away.

197
00:13:52,393 --> 00:13:56,840
I’m not sure what all you could do about that, but I thought I’d let you know.

198
00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:00,281
In fairness I wasn’t trying super hard

199
00:14:00,281 --> 00:14:05,682
and I think I forgot your product’s name so I might have just looked right past it,

200
00:14:05,682 --> 00:14:09,731
so thanks to Vwestlife for tweeting a link a me.

201
00:14:09,731 --> 00:14:15,084
Oh, and while I know the world of supply chains is just a... mess right now

202
00:14:15,084 --> 00:14:17,158
and it’s your business, not mine,

203
00:14:17,158 --> 00:14:22,597
I hope you implement some way to pre-order what’s
currently sold-out for next year.

204
00:14:22,597 --> 00:14:24,609
But anyway, that’s it!

205
00:14:24,609 --> 00:14:26,098
What have we learned today?

206
00:14:26,098 --> 00:14:28,316
Well first, I’m eccentric!

207
00:14:28,316 --> 00:14:29,803
But we knew that already.

208
00:14:29,803 --> 00:14:34,647
Second, nail polish seems to be a pretty good product for coloring white LED sets

209
00:14:34,647 --> 00:14:37,702
so long as you’re OK with the frosted appearance.

210
00:14:37,702 --> 00:14:41,461
Third, there are some folks in Michigan who are easing my pain —

211
00:14:41,461 --> 00:14:46,466
just please please pretty please come up with some sort of color caps please.

212
00:14:46,466 --> 00:14:48,963
Oh right dye’s a wash.

213
00:14:48,963 --> 00:14:51,790
Uhh… but I think that’s it!

214
00:14:51,790 --> 00:14:54,929
I hope you all have a wonderful and safe holiday season,

215
00:14:54,929 --> 00:14:59,020
and when I see you next we’ll be talking about photographic printing.

216
00:14:59,020 --> 00:15:03,184
Which is great because we’ll get to talk about another kind of colored light!

217
00:15:03,184 --> 00:15:04,747
The safelight.

218
00:15:04,747 --> 00:15:06,498
Oooohhhh.

219
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,974
♫ unexpectedly holiday jazz ♫

220
00:15:12,105 --> 00:15:13,583
It’s not great.

221
00:15:13,940 --> 00:15:16,183
Let’s see if we can get this green bulb to come back.

222
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,619
Did you seriously burn out on me?

223
00:15:21,619 --> 00:15:28,213
I bought two of these sets to have just for spare bulbs

224
00:15:28,213 --> 00:15:34,251
and for whatever reason green is extremely prone to burning out.

225
00:15:35,907 --> 00:15:40,371
At… I plugged this in once, this bulb had a life of what, 10 seconds?

226
00:15:41,293 --> 00:15:43,153
It’s like it’s taunting me.

227
00:15:43,153 --> 00:15:47,246
That’s... this is the last green from my first set of spares

228
00:15:47,246 --> 00:15:50,858
so as of now I have just five green spares left.

229
00:15:52,241 --> 00:15:52,979
Jeh!

230
00:15:52,979 --> 00:15:55,062
And it’s only been getting better and better.

231
00:15:55,062 --> 00:15:57,057
Except in this…

232
00:15:57,057 --> 00:15:59,101
hhhhhh where’s the string!

233
00:16:03,230 --> 00:16:05,089
Should have planned that out.

234
00:16:05,236 --> 00:16:08,935
This is what you call a live fact-check.

235
00:16:10,863 --> 00:16:11,870
Yes.

236
00:16:11,870 --> 00:16:16,082
I couldn’t even notice a difference between the half that got a UV protective coke...

237
00:16:17,633 --> 00:16:18,709
Clear coat.

238
00:16:18,709 --> 00:16:20,657
Now, white lights?

239
00:16:20,657 --> 00:16:22,902
We’ve got… oh I grabbed...

240
00:16:22,902 --> 00:16:24,534
not color and white.

241
00:16:24,534 --> 00:16:26,774
I don’t go all out like clr…

242
00:16:27,452 --> 00:16:28,622
eugh.

243
00:16:30,152 --> 00:16:33,776
I'm really hoping that Tru-Tone comes through with some little light cap thingies.

244
00:16:33,776 --> 00:16:38,720
As much as I enjoy this silly tradition, I also don't want to spend an entire day painting light bulbs.

245
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,240
And I never actually have - I just keep doing this for youuuu!

246
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,111
Really breaking the illusion, huh?

247
00:16:45,111 --> 00:16:46,205
Well... whatever.
