WE've got several sets of Christmas tree bulbs and also some other
similar bulbs used for parasol lights etc.

They all have the same type of plastic base and bent wire terminals, but
are of different voltages and wattages.

Some retailers stock some bulbs, but there are some that we can't match.

Is there a dealer who specialises in thses sort of bulbs ? The usual
suspects like RS and CPC don't appear to stock much of this type.

If the original instructions have been lost, is there an easy way to
determine the correct volt and power rating of a given bulb ?

Lamp sets are so cheap, just buy a new one.
Buy a second one for a stock of spare lamps.

The best time to do this is just after Christmas, for
next year, when you can buy a whole lamp set for less
than the cost of a few spare lamps.
