LED Christmas Lights Question

Hello,

I purchased several sets of Noma LED Faceted C7 - 50 light sets to
decorate a large tree I have. I realize these lights aren't as bright
as the traditional C7 lights, however they are supposed to last 25 times
as long as a traditional set (according to the box) and use far less
electricity (2.4W for 50 lights vs. 124.8W for a 25 light traditional
set. I figured I'd give them a try. The strings can be connected end
to end, however there is a warning label on one end which states not to
connect more than 3 strands together at a time. My question is: Why
can't I connect more than three 2.4 watt strands together? If I hooked
10 strands together, I would only be using 24 watts of power total, not
enough to blow a fuse or over heat the wiring. Does anybody know the
answer to this question?

Thank You,
Steve

My traditional strings say the same thing. Maybe supplier just didn't bother
to change the label
