These 2.5V mini Christmas replacement bulbs for incandescent string lights are made with a pinched base which means that they will fit most light sets (whether a pinched base is required or not). 2.5V lamps are very common for string lights with 50 or more lamps, however it is very important to confirm the amperes (or wattage) for your particular light set to be sure that you get the correct brightness. We offer the following three options for 2.5 volt lamps:

170 mA (0.42 watt): These are the most common 2.5 volt mini replacement bulbs used now-a-days and are intended for use with incandescent string lights that require 0.42 watt lamps. These lamps will shine nice and bright in light sets that recommend between (0.41 – 0.44 watt lamps).

200 mA (0.50 watt): These 'high wattage' replacement bulbs are for use with incandescent string lights that require 0.5 watt lamps. These string lights are fairly common and have been the standard for certain brands, most notably GKI Bethelem. The 0.5 watt bulbs are intended to be brighter than traditional 0.42 watt lamps, however, if you use these lamps in a light set that requires a lower wattage, they will often glow dim. It is important to double check the wattage (or amperes) required for your light set before purchasing.

100 mA (0.25 watt): These lamps are intended ONLY for incandescent string lights that require low wattage or energy saver light bulbs. This wattage is not common, but it has been used on different light sets and decorations for years. Most light sets of this nature will specifically state that you need to use 100 mA bulbs (or 0.25 watt) bulbs as replacements. This is typical of light sets termed heavy duty and it most commonly found on sets of 200+ lights or icicle light sets. If you use these replacement bulbs in light sets that require higher wattage lamps, these lamps will flash and burn out immediately. It is important to double check the wattage (or amperes) required for your light set before purchasing.

These 2.5 volt replacement bulbs are sold 'naked' which means that they do not come with any plastic husk. Please be sure to keep the plastic husk that the old bulbs are removed from so that these will incorporate into your string light. The unique pinched base shape to these bulbs allows them to set fully down inside of most any husk to make meaningful contact with the brass contacts inside.

Please be sure to reference the tag near the male plug on your light set to confirm both the voltage and the wattage for your string. Voltage, amperes, and wattage must all match to ensure that the lamps will light with proper brightness.

    Replacement bulbs for Balsam Hill Xmas tree

    Published by Tom C. on Mar 10th 2025

    I have an older Balsam Hill Christmas tree for which replacement bulbs are no longer available. Even Balsam Hill was unable to help. They have changed the base of the bulb so that the newer bulbs simply do not fit. I tried hardware stores but no one carried lights with that base. But the answer turned out to be: keep the base, just change the bulbs. With your help I ordered clear replacement bulbs, 2.5 volt, 100 ma, .25 watt, pinched base. Worked like a charm. But the real story here is encountering someone (Ellie in cust svc) who had the knowledge and cared enough to help. What a refreshing change from the usual customer NO service. I sent an email to Balsam Hill recommending 612 Vermont for any other people who have older trees. Thanks again.

    I’ve bought many many bulbs from you and only one time has there been a faulty bulb. It had 3 wires rather than two.

    Pinched Base Replacement lights

    Published by Steven on Dec 9th 2024

    I had all but given up on finding pinched base replacement lights. None of the usual stores carried them. I was about to get rid of my old artficial tree and decided to call the retailer where I purchased it nearly 20yrs ago. Surprisingly enough, they were able to help and directed me to 612 Vermont. I have replaced nearly 200 bulbs in my tree and other lighted decorations with these bulbs. They burn brighter and are easy to install. I have not run into any bad bulbs in either box I have used. I ordered 200 more so that my tree will now outlast me!

    2.5 V. Mini Xmas Replacement Bulbs

    Published by Perry on Nov 22nd 2024

    I bought these in the past and this new box. A lot of the bulbs-27 burned out right away 612 Vermont Response: I'm sorry you are having issues with burn outs. I would be glad to refund you or send replacements. Please do keep in mind that we have different wattages for the 2.5v bulbs. If you are using them for a different light set it might take a different wattage bulb. If it is the same strings of lights you are replacing please make sure all the burned out bulbs in the string are replaced before turning the set back on. If you still have issues it is possible the bulbs we sent you had some issues and we would be glad to replace them.
