Christmas Lights

Daily Drop tries to decorate the drop zone a little bit.

...Were those lights still blinking after the bulbs broke? I thought it was "One light goes out, and they all go out."

 

[Hithlain]

Woah... shiny. *is memorized by the sparkling*

I'm going to have to remember not to drop my large old fashioned lights off a ladder onto a cement floor. I think I might get electrocuted.

Only if the lights are wired in series, which most are. Some lights are wired in parallel, and usually state that on the box.

 

[Angnor]

Guuuuyyss you're letting all the electricity out!

Loved the flash of the first one breaking and all the exposed glowing elements at the end.

 

[Distorted Stu]

That was pretty

*Watches video, thinks of witty pun involving 1 light going out and having the rest go out. Clicks forums, scrolls down, sees first post. Cries*

Luckily the crowbar wasn't needed. We would need a new crowbar guy. x.x;

Yaaa, more lights being dropped. Not as cool as the footed lamp, but still great.

I love seeing the 60hz AC current phasing in action - this is my new favorite Drop ever.

 

[Dana22]

What ? No crowbar action !?

 

[capacollo]

I was thinking they would drop it again to break the other lights but looking at how Paul cringed as they dropped Ill let it slide

 

[dalek sec]

I think the first light to break was the best, a nice sharp pop of the light and current and the breaking of the glass. Tomorrow's drop should be interesting, some kind of mini tree thing.

I actually do know the difference between series circuits and parallel circuits. It's just the oldest gag in the book.

 

[LadyRhian]

Wow, those lights wired in Parallel are amazing. So many destroyed, and the rest are still lit! Those are some seriously robust lights!

 

[Hashime]

Best one yet.
The first impact was amazing.

 

[miquelfire]

The fact the flash from the first bulb breaking was on in the wide shot was interesting.

I felt this drop went too long before the credits came up however.

 

[Asturiel]

I was not expecting that, that looked amazing.

A very high contender for favourite drop, hopefully LRR has more great ones stashed for the coming months.

 

[emeraldrafael]

I wasnt really sure wat to expect in this one. I mean, I knew they would drop lights, but I didnt know if they would break. cause you cant have graham go all crowbar on it without a safety hazard.

That being said, i was happy with the results.

 

[Somebloke]

Bah, what entertainment is there, if nobody stands the risk of dying a terrifying death. Next, crowbar a hot lava lamp. ;P
