Repairing Color Changing LED Christmas Tree Lights?

My pre-lit Christmas tree with LED lights is only a few years old. I bought it because it could change from colored lights to warm white depending on my mood. This year the color works, but not the white yet it uses the same bulbs. I tried changing the fuse, but it still doesn't work. It is very perplexing. Any idea how I can fix it?

On color changing lights they use not only a fuse, but a resister on one strand of light. The color changing light use two wire strands of lights to make the color change. On one strand the lights are left alone, but on the second strand a resister is installed in each light so that the lights can go from color to soft white.

I think that one of your sets of lights has a problem with one of the resisters in the strand. This will be very difficult to determine which resister has gone bad.

Can a resister be replaced or fixed? How do I check them?

Contact the company who manufactured your tree and get replacement bulbs from them.You probably need special bulbs.
