I understand your thoughts on Ohm's Law and it seems right. The issue seems to be between the theory and what really happens when a string fails. Others who have done parallel builds have found that without the fuse, the amperages accross the remaining strings increase and either shorten the life of your LED's or destroy them. Could this be based upon how the first string failed? Maybe the worry is if the LED fails open?
