I would venture to guess that yyour wiring is in series and when a plug is inserted it closes the circuit ie. positive +----- ..... - negative : no plug. positive +-----\-\..... - negative : with plug. hope this helps. pete Check your neutral connections. They may have come open.

One of your clients claims an employee plugged in Christmas lights to two ouotlets on the same run How is this possible?
Some string of lights have a plug on one end. If it has prongs, then this is the plug which goes into the wall outlet. The other end of the string of lights has another plug on the other end. This end plug has no prongs. However it has holes for you to stick another string of lights of the same type on to. You can keep adding on lights to each end. The male plug goes into the female receptor end. Do not over load with too many attachments. Merry Christmas
