Lab Procedure Introduction and Background The holiday season is coming up and The Lights Company is trying to improve their holiday lights. Having received customer complaints during the previous holiday season, the company needs to fix their current holiday light configuration. Majority of the customers reported that their problem with the Holiday lights was if one bulb went out, the rest of the chain died out. Engineers at Bright Lights have to figure out a way to prevent the problem that The Lights Company faces, and if not fixed the upcoming holiday season might result in a loss for The Lights Company. Your boss has asked you and a team of electrical engineers to figure out a solution to this problem. The Lights Company does not have enough money to go and buy new parts, thus the engineers have to reuse as much of the resistors and LED’s available at the company. The electrical engineers believe that perhaps changing the type of circuit (series or parallel) might solve The Lights Company’s problem while not costing too much. Your team’s task is to determine which circuit type, series or parallel, would be best for The Lights Company, and then report back on solving The Lights Company’s dilemma.
