Right bulbs for my string, right price for my wallet
The lights work as perfect replacements for my "professional" grade light string. The color is rich/deep and looks great. I had this nice looking 100 light string from a business and a few bulbs had burned out after several years, so I purchased 2.5V bulbs as generally recommended for 100 bulb strings. Turns out they didn't work well, very dim. I finally figured out that the string uses 3.5V bulbs throughout, normally those are rated for a 140 bulb string. It seems the pro lights run a little dimmer (I say better looking), but are more rugged / longer lasting by using the 3.5V bulbs. I tried a pack to first see if they worked, and after they did, I bought 2 more. I should be in good shape for quite a long time now. I found the price to be fair and shipping was combined on my two pack order, so I'm happy.
I was trying to find 3.5 volt multi color mini replacement bulbs for an old string of Christmas lights that I put around my front door. 2.5 volt replacement bulbs must be the new standard because I was having trouble finding the 3.5 ones. The bulbs arrived undamaged and as shown in the photo. I was very pleased!
