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.

    Great product and even better customer service. My 100 count of bulbs was 3 bulbs short…. I emailed the company and they sent me an additional 50 count of cost to me within a couple of days. I would highly recommend this company for your hard to find items.

    100 Clear Mini Replacement Bulbs 2.5V, 170mA

    Published by LB on Oct 13th 2022

    This is my second order of these replacement bulbs, these are the cheapest I've found, much cheaper than buying those little cards with only 5-10 bulbs each. Replacing bulbs in my many light strings, wreaths, and garlands is many times cheaper than tossing them and buying new (which makes me feel so wasteful). I look for and replace burned out bulbs before I put up the lighted items and before I put them away after Christmas. Replacing bulbs one at a time is exponentially easier than allowing an increasing number of burned out bulbs to eventually (and always suddenly) burn out the whole set, where you then either then have to toss or replace ALL of the bulbs.

    2.5 V, 170 mA, 0.42 watt Light String Replacement Bulb

    Published by LB on Feb 23rd 2022

    FINALLY wising up and purchasing replacement bulbs in bulk, highly recommend. Pinched base fit all the Christmas light strings I needed them for so far. The 2.5 V, 170 mA, 0.42 watt is supposed to be appropriate for modern light strings, seemed correct illumination for all strings I used on so far. Do an internet search on how quickly strings burn out with just a few lights out, or learn the hard way (like me) when an entire 8ft tree or expensive lighted garland suddenly has 100% burned out and blackened bulbs, unfixable. Now each Christmas I replace dead bulbs in all strings before I use them and also before I put them away, easier than the MANY hours it takes to cut dead light strings out of a large lighted tree/garland/wreath, or throwing away an entire free-standing string, and infinitely cheaper than tossing these items. Have tried purchasing those small cards with only 5-10 replacement bulbs each (very expensive), and once purchased a 50 bulb sacrifice-string where used all the bulbs for replacements, semi-cheap, but unforgivably wasteful as have to dispose of the remaining string carcass. Much easier to just buy in bulk like these, cheapest option, convenient/protective storage box, “bare” bulbs (no base) make sense as light string bases are ridiculously ALL different. Big help when replacing bulbs – work under a bright light or sunny window and buy some high-magnifying readers from your local dollar store.
