liketoDIY 13 Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 (edited) After about a decade of waiting, I finally got into blow mold. I had planned to wait until Black Friday but they were sold out days earlier at the local Ace Hardware store. After searching all over the internet, I found them at ToolBoxSupply.com (Troy, NY). I saved about $20 by not buying similar candles at Lowes. Edited November 29, 2020 by liketoDIY 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

liketoDIY 13 Posted December 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 (edited) Finally my order (Nov 27) of two westinghouse 3-c7 bulbs replacement cords is on the way. Light bulbs: - Tried to use 3W flickering incandescent bulbs but the brightness were too low. https://www.ebay.com/itm/12-Flicker-Flame-Light-Bulb-Edison-E12-Candelabra-Base-Flickering-Orange-Glow-3W/154111173935 - Also tried to use flickering/flame LED bulbs but they were too big to fit in the lamp hole. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Animated-Flickering-Fire-Effect-LED-for-Parties-Christmas-and-Halloween/164454289217 - I'm now using 0.6W LED (7W incandescent) bulbs. https://www.ebay.com/itm/12-Pack-LED-Replacement-Light-Bulbs-for-Electric-Candle-Lamps-Window-Candles-7w/392952609855 Edited December 6, 2020 by liketoDIY 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

liketoDIY 13 Posted December 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 Well despite the huge size I liked the animated flame LED bulbs so I decided to use them. I used the jig saw to widen the mount hole for the bulb to get in. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
