Led christmas light set plug replacement?

I had a bad die set of 35 Led Christmas lights they made me chop off the first light and the plug which is a 3amp 125v fused plug. Where would I find this and should I put a resistor in place of the missing Led to reuse the setup? It's just a 2 prong plug with a slide out part with 2 tiny fuses equalling 3 amps. I'm thinking maybe to in line fuses can anyone help solve this problem. All the autoparts stores are rated 250 vac and thats too high of an amp in line anyway. The lower in line mini fuses are 32 v max . PLease help

Its actually 3 amps fused on each prong.

Someone has to help me out with this i know theres an expert out there somewhere!!!

Slightly scary thing about ForeverBright is the dual fuse, one in neutral and one in live.

If the neutral fuse blows but live line one dosent, set is still live even though it dosen`t light. Nasty way of catching the unwary.

The Voltage rating dosen`t matter, 250V fuse will be fine as long as its rated at 3A or less.

Should really use another LED in place of the failed one, as FBs are wired as a series string.

Do you know what type of led is used in the forever brights?

Its just a standard 5mm with an overmoulded shape, as far as I remember, no resistor.

But will have a look at some FBs have in workshop and confirm.

Thanks is it nichia type or other, could you be more specific . Is it 3.4fv? 120v ac divided by 35 = 3.42 so I just figure thats the voltage of each.

Yup, youv`e got the numbers right, dosen`t need to be a Nichia, somehow doubt the FB original is Nichia..

So any 3/5mm Blue should drop straight in, no resistor.

Well mine are a new white set. So I was wondering if it was something different. There rather bright is why I wanted to know and since there white....

Your fine, white has similar Vf, so just string in a generic white.

If you need a new plug just go to garage sales or buy a cheap set of lights for $1 that has a similar fused plug. If you cannot get ahold of a replacement LED, it may be ok just to leave out that LED as having one less will make the average LED only go up about .1v which would perhaps be mildly overdriving if even that. If you have an AC ammeter you could measure the current going through the string with 34 LEDs in it.

Amps are Amps are Amps... the voltage ratings on the fuses you mentioned are irrelevant in this application as it only references the amount of voltage differential the fuse can withstand without arcing internally.

Hope this helps.
