Which failure propagation occurs when multiple LEDs in series on a single string, used for signage, experience open-circuit failures?

💡 Explanation

Catastrophic string failure happens because of the series circuit wiring: a complete open means no current flow. Therefore, the segment fails completely rather than dimming, because current interruption affects the whole string.
