Brass Candle
Replacement bulbs for old Christmas "candle" lights?
I have a few strings of lights that are quite old-- at least 20 years. They look like dark red/burgundy candles in brass bases, and the normal Christmas bulbs are plugged into the top, where a light would go. As might be expected after two decades of Christmases, some bulbs have blown out. We tried to switch bulbs with old strings, but the voltage for the bulbs is off, or something, because while they complete the circuit, they only barely light up-- not even a flicker, just a tiny pinprick of dim light. We don't have the original boxes, and I can't even find strings of lights in stores that aren't LED lights!
Does anyone know how I can find out the type of bulb it takes (without trial-and-error), and where to find replacement bulbs?
My lights are similar to this-- a darker red color, but the basic form looks the same. Pity they're discontinued! https://www.smarthome.com/C0413R/Red-Candle-Light-String/p.aspx
you should retire lights that old
