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.

    Pinched base 2.5 volt mini lights, all colors

    Published by Cecil on Jan 26th 2021

    These are the only truly universal fit bulbs I've found. The pinched bases fit all the inserts. I have not found any pinched based bulbs in the stores, only the standard round bottom. There are at least three different tube size round bottom bulbs and if you don't get the right size, they don't fit the insert or the wires are too short. These bulbs solve this problem. Just verify the bulb voltage and amps. I've been able to repair five dead strings with these bulbs and resurrect some dead round Christmas spheres. These are great bulbs. I've used around 60 replacements and no dead bulbs. The cost for 50 bulbs is the same for 5 bulbs in the blister pack from the hardware store.

    Perfect replacement bulbs

    Published by ThriftySanta on Dec 22nd 2020

    Bought a package of 50 to "repair" my 14 year old, pre-lit Christmas tree. Had a hard time finding "pinched" base bulbs, but here they are! Shipping was quick and packaging was perfect. Every bulb arrived safely and all were put to use, not a dud in the bunch. These high quality bulbs make the tree look fantastic!

    2.5v 200mA mini replacement bulbs Pack of 50 (clear)

    Published by Chris in CT on Dec 22nd 2020

    Delivery was prompt; all the bulbs arrived in good shape. Replaced 5 burned out bulbs on my tree. The brightness and color matched what I had. One bulb failed after a few minutes, but the others are fine. The new bulbs are a hair thinner than the old ones, but not enough to cause any problem. The length of the glass tubes and wire leads is perfect.
