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.

    Bulbs worked perfectly. I was unclear which ones to buy, but 612 Vermont made it easy. I called and read the information on the cord to the gentleman who answered and he was able to advise me on the correct ones to buy. Much appreciated the ease of getting to a real person and getting a very helpful answer

    Replacement bulbs

    Published by Darla H. on Mar 15th 2024

    I’m so glad I found your website. I have lots of older Christmas speciality lights that are now needing to be replaced. Thanks to you I can now replace the burnt out bulbs rather than having to put in the trash.. My only complaint I have is you stopped carrying the 3volt bulbs. I have so many older outside yard displays that require that voltage of lights and can no longer use them.

    good

    Published by Janet on Feb 8th 2024

    Just what I needed to replace lights on a light string we use but after Christmas no one carries light bulbs in-store. I tried some I found during Christmas and since there was no info on the bulb type on the light string box I was confused when they would burn out as soon as I installed them. Thank you for offering the specifications info so I could choose the right bulb and put my lights away for next year ready to go!

    Good Bulbs

    Published by Joe W. on Feb 1st 2024

    What kept my rating from being excellent is some of the bulbs stuck together so the paint pulled away from the bulb when separated. I did have a few bulbs that were DOA. Overall though this was a good purchase.

    Perfect solution; found in March 2023, just now finishing the Christmas Tree replacements. Will be ordering more bulbs very soon. No Delivery to Canada is puzzling.
