All About C7 LED Retrofit Bulbs

Christmas lighting technology has made amazing advancements in recent years, and The Christmas Light Emporium provides you with a variety of choices for your commercial or personal needs. Your family Christmas tree or office waiting room can be distinct and beautiful with the right lighting options to address your decorative vision. Our C7 Christmas lights and C7 LED Retrofit Bulbs enable you to work with a traditional illumination scheme or to diverge with unique bulb designs.

About C7 Christmas Lights

C7 lights are some of the most commonly used Christmas lighting choices. C7 LED retrofit bulbs fit an E12 socket, and strands created for these bulbs are wired with parallel circuits. When one bulb burns out, the others continue to function. Wattage for these lights depends on the type of bulb. The conical shape of the C7 design is approximately 1.5 inches in height. Strings generally include clips to hold sockets in place, making this type of lighting ideal for trees and greenery.

C7 LED Retrofit Bulbs Options

While the original C7 Christmas lights were incandescent, today's options are more extensive. The availability of incandescent bulbs includes traditional ceramic versions that produce colored effects through a paint coating on each light. Transparent incandescent bulbs use colored glass to create a more subtle and delicate effect. Twinkle lights and dimmable bulbs are among the many special effect bulbs available. Incandescent C7s burn at five watts. C7 LED retrofit bulbs are a great alternative to traditional incandescent lighting for the holidays. Created to be compatible with E12 sockets, these LED versions typically include three super bright LEDs inside the 1.5-inch cone, creating exceptional lighting while burning at only one watt. It's possible to safely connect as many as 1,125 bulbs on a 15-amp circuit, enhancing extensive decorating schemes while saving up to 90 percent of the power required for incandescent lighting. You'll also find our icicle replacement bulbs for C7 bases to be excellent for adding variety to your holiday decor./lights
