The ongoing problem with the festoon lights in Millport is down to the poor quality of the lamps, it was reported during a meeting on the island this week.
Last year, the festoon lights were taken away during the summer months but the replaced lights, which arrived in time for last year's September Illuminations weekend, and were apparently more robust, but have been dogged with problems.
Cumbrae Community Council have vowed to pursue the matter.
