Review on Mudder Christmas Replacement Incandescent Decoration: 🎄 Deck the Halls with Traditional Warm Glow! by Imed Artun

In short these bulbs work great and are most likely rated at 3.5V/0.43W as stated on the label. I changed 35 bulbs and only found 1 that didn't work so the quality is great too. The pinched base was a key ingredient for these adjustments to my existing bases. My experience has led me to believe that most people's assumption that this is the wrong voltage is due to a number of different reasons. In my case my original bulbs were 3.5V/0.70W and these bulbs were 3.5V/0.43W. So if you are sure your bulbs are 3.5V but if you have one of the weaker ones than the others plug in you may need to try 3.5/0.70w bulbs like this one. what i repeat is exactly what i did and it worked great! And now. long story. It all started with my quest to renovate the wreath of a pottery barn we bought over 20 years ago. This is a nice little thing with artificial green and white light. We love it very much but it ended up with a couple of blown bulbs which we couldn't replace as we had used the 3 spare bulbs provided. My first step was to read the manual that came with it. It said we had to use 12V/0.96W/80mA bulbs to replace the bulbs in the kit. They weren't easy to track down, but I found a few at Walmart. When I tried replacing a lightbulb, the new 12 volt lightbulb was very bright while the other 6 lightbulbs dimmed slightly. I realized something had gone wrong, so I started problem solving and thinking. With 6 other bulbs affected I realized the bulbs should be in groups of 7. I counted all the bulbs in the ring and there were 35. Then I looked at the power supply, which is a transformer that converts 120 VAC to 24 VAC. Assuming each set of 7 bulbs is connected in series and 5 sets of 7 bulbs are connected in parallel to the power supply, if I divide the 24V power supply by 7 I get 3.43V per bulb. It's definitely not 12V. So I came across Revain and was looking for something. I found these 3.5 volt light bulbs and placed an order. I was excited to find a solution. I've seen people claim their tension is wrong but I figured I should just give it a try! When these 3.5V/0.43W bulbs arrived I replaced one. He was weaker than the others. So... now I was really confused because I thought I did the math correctly and I was convinced that there couldn't be any other tension. I looked at the very faded white label on the power cord and it said in small letters that 3.5v / 0.43w bulbs should be used depending on the volts and amps of the power supply. What the hell is that? At that point, I began to believe that people were telling the truth...that these lamps were priced incorrectly. So I looked again at Revain for 3.5V bulbs (with clamped base). I found a few more options. These options included a 3.5V/0.70W lamp. This certainly got me thinking... what if my current headlights were 0.70w instead of the 0.43w I just ordered and received? Well...if I were to add a 0.43w bulb to a daisy chain set with 6 other 0.70w bulbs, the existing 6 bulbs would be almost twice as watt intensive, which explains why the newly added 0 .43W bulbs appear dim. So...I decided to replace the 7 bulb set with these new 3.5V/0.43W bulbs. IT WORKS OUT! They looked amazing and now shone as brightly as the rest of the bulbs on the wreath! So...I decided to swap out the remaining 28 onions on the wreath. I now have a fully working wreath and over 60 spare bulbs left. This item will become a family heirloom! To sum it up... it really blew me away. The first mistake was in the instructions. This resulted in me buying the wrong light bulbs. The second mistake was that although the power supply recommended lamps based on wattage, the factory installed other lamps that drew more than calculated. So all the information I received took me down a much longer path than necessary and made me give up on several occasions. After all, these bulbs are probably 3.5 volts / 0.43 watts, just as advertised. And they work great! When people find they aren't functioning properly, it's entirely possible that other problems are the cause.
