Newbie here. Light sockets are flakey on the Ball Count "1-2-3-4-5-Game Over"

There is a grounding strip for all lights and the sockets are flush mounted on the strip.

Assuming that I need to remove the strip and install with new sockets.

How do I wire the grounds?

Do I have individual wires from each socket back to ground, or do I chain the ground wire from one socket to the other.

Thanks

Thanks guys.

I ended up removing the ground bar and installed 6 1/2” sockets.

The bracket for mounting the socket was connected to the ground, so I just ran a wire across all the mounting screws and tied it back to the original ground wire.

Desoldered the power wires from original sockets and resoldered to the new sockets.

Worked like a champ.
