Replacement Christmas Light Bulbs

Incandescent Replacement Christmas Light Bulbs

Our selection of incandescent Christmas light bulbs includes clear or colored globe bulbs, candelabra bulbs, C7, and C9 lights. These replacement Christmas lights can be used in indoor and outdoor installations, and since they are incandescent, they are dimmable with most dimmers. The C7 and C9 replacement Christmas light bulbs are triple-dipped in color to make your lighting design really pop. For outdoor lighting displays in snowier regions, we recommend using LED Christmas bulbs instead of incandescents. LEDs are better equipped to handle freezing temperatures than incandescent bulbs.

Difference Between C7 and C9 Christmas Lights

Both C9 and C7 Christmas lights were developed by General Electric (GE) in the late 1920s and early 1930s, respectfully. These bulbs are named C for their candle or conical shape with the number representing the diameter of the bulb in eights of an inch. Therefore, C9 Christmas lights are slighter larger than C7 Christmas lights by about half an inch. C7 and C9 lights have a specific base that fits into a certain socket on Christmas light strings and spools. C7 lights have a candelabra E12 base while C9s have an intermediate E17 base. Another difference between the two sizes is the amount of wattage they draw. C9 light bulbs use about 7 1Watts per bulb and C7 light bulbs use about 5 Watts with the specific wattage depending on the brand. When replacing your Christmas light bulbs or purchasing new string lights, be sure you dont exceed the maximum Wattage rating. Doing so will increase the failure rate and could become a potential fire hazard.

What Happens When One Bulb Goes Out?

Our string lights are very reliable. If one bulb goes fails, the rest of the string should stay lit as long as the failed bulb remains in the socket. However, it should be replaced as soon as possible. Delaying replacement will cause the other bulbs to draw too much power and increase the failure rate throughout the remaining lamps.

LED Light Bulbs

Benefits of LED Lights

LED light bulbs can save you money not only because they are roughly 80 percent more energy efficient than other bulbs, they also produce far less heat than metal halides, CFLs, and incandescent light bulbs. Upgrading to LED lighting means you wont spend your summer months cooling down rooms that your light bulbs are busy heating up. While originally a cooler blue tone than incandescent bulbs, LEDs now come in daylight and warm white color temperatures so you can more easily replace your existing bulbs without altering the color of your room. Visit our Lighting Guide to see what difference color temperature makes. LED lighting also offers a superior color rendering index (CRI), so you can see the colors of your artwork or makeup more accurately.

LED replacement bulbs are durable and ecologically friendly. Did you know you can recycle LED bulbs and reduce your carbon footprint up to one third? LEDs outlast the competition, staying bright for up to 11 years of continuous operation. This means less time climbing ladders trying to replace those hard to reach bulbs in vaulted ceilings.

LEDs are one of todays most promising technologies.

LEDs or Fluorescents - Which is More Efficient?

LED light bulbs for the win! When it comes to purchasing energy-efficient lighting, LEDs surpass CFLs by a wide margin. LEDs are instant-start with no warmup time needed. They work well in cold weather, and are substantially more durable since manufactured out of plastic instead of glass. From standard bulbs to fluorescent tubes, LEDs can replicate the same lighting conditions found in fluorescents while lasting longer and using less energy. As an added bonus, all LEDs are RoHS compliant and do not use mercury, a claim that cant be made by fluorescent bulbs.
