dchackert 41 Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 I know someone had a thread at somepoint but can't find it. Anyone know of good corn light bulbs that have the E12 base i can use for blowmolds with small holes? I don't want to use a spot light next year on my reindeer and need a much brighter light inside. All the regular LED bulbs I can find are too large to even fit in the holes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Doneal 15 Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 If you have a e12 base I would assume it was "c7" type bulb. I've used 6000K Daylight White 200LM, E12 Candelabra Base Lamp C7. I think I've seen the 6500k, not sure. I will say the 6000 k is very bright. I've switch all my blow molds over to LED and use the higher "K" for the more darker/collared ones. Anyway it's the same size as regular filament c7 bulbs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rich in Las Vegas 31 Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 If you are looking for more than 200 lumens and don't not want to enlarge the existing holes (1" or 25.4mm) you would have to switch over to a different base. I had no trouble finding the 200 lumen, 110V, E12 bulbs that will fit and don't cost much more than dollar store bulbs that don't fit. If you want more lumens, one way is to switch to a G4 or G9 base. There are many more G4 and G9 bulbs in the corn bulb or chip-on-board design in higher watts/lumens that will fit the opening. Here is one US source for the E12 corn bulb on eBay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/19249006986 16mm (0.6”) D $16.55 10pcs cool white 200 lumens It may take overseas sources but replacement bases are cheap. G9 ceramic base with wire $1.29/10pcs or G4 $2.58/10pcs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scott Rob 106 Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 These are the corn cobs I use. In the other photos small sheep had old C7 bulb ( they look dim) then I changed to these corn cob bulbs. Hope that helps Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rich in Las Vegas 31 Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 For some reason, the link I provided does not work and I can't go back and edit it. Here is the link that works www.ebay.com/itm/192490069868 It is the same bulb shown by Scott Rob. A tad more expensive at $16.55 for 10 bulbs with free shipping Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scott Rob 106 Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 I did a small set up so you can tell size of the ones I have. The green bulb is regular C7 and the two types of blow mold fixtures. Hope that helps! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dchackert 41 Posted January 30 Author Report Share Posted January 30 Thanks as usual. I did find a few of the corn bulbs but not a ton of reviews in that size so was skeptical. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joeyohhhh 1 Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 I've used these which are more pricier than the corn bulb but are higher lumens: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077XRB42H/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Here they are inside the Gemmy Disney Blowmolds (note there are two in each blowmold), also added a size comparison.
