The "Old" Way - Lights in Series

Lights connect in series. A complete battery and lightbulb circuit.  Many lights may be connected in together. Lights strung together this way are said to be in series.  If any bulb burns through its filament all the lights go out. To get the light string working again one must find and replace the bulb with the bad filament.

We need a better idea!
