Replaced lightbulb with wrong wattage and it killed my Christmas house
I have a Christmas village and one of my houses has lights and Santa circling overhead on a reindeer. A few weeks ago the lightbulb went out but Santa was still going. I should have paid closer attention when switching the bulb because I inadvertently switched it with a bulb that was 10 watts higher. It worked for a bit and then all of it stopped working, the lights and Santa. When I unplugged it, the ACDC adapter was very hot. I thought maybe it overheated but after letting it cool down and replacing the bulb with one of the correct wattage, still nothing works. I started to buy a replacement motor but thought if it was the motor, then the light should work fine. I thought it might be the ACDC adapter but when I plug it in and check everything with a voltage meter, they all seem to be getting power. Does anyone have any idea on how I can fix this? It is one of my favorite decorations.
