Light Bulbs

Dollhouse Bulb Types
Click for Enlargement
These high quality bulbs are excellent for illuminating any part of a dollhouse or miniature room. Bulb wires may be attached to our miniature plugs or directly braded into tape runs with 1/8" brass brads.

The 12-volt bulbs should be used in locations where bright illumination is necessary and the 16-volt bulbs in areas where a soft, non-glaring light is preferred. The grain-of-rice (GOR) bulbs are ideal for those applications where minimum bulb size is desirable.

Although all bulbs are warranted for 5,000 hours it should be noted that a 16-volt bulb will last immeasurably longer than a similar 12-volt bulb when connected across 12 volts. This is because the 16-volt bulb draws less current and thus generates
less heat, the prime detriment to long bulb life.

The grain-of-wheat (GOW) bulb measures approximately 1/8" in diameter and the GOR bulb approximately 3/32". These bulbs are made with some of the smallest insulated wires available. Great attention has also been given to making the wire connections at the base of the bulb as unnoticeable as possible.

The CK1020 series of 1.5 volt bulbs may be used as is across a CK1009G transformer or as replacement bulbs for Christmas tree strings. The CK1010-18 series of 3.0 volt bulbs may be used as replacement bulbs for any 3.0 volt lighting fixture.

CK1010-31 Candlebody Bulbs (4 pak)

CK1010-31 Candlebody Bulbs (4 pak)

These are replacement bulbs for the "Grand" line of fixtures. The bulbs are constructed as a one piece candle and bulb, a miniatures first. Although made especially for our "Grand" line of fixtures, they will screw into most other fixtures having screw-base sockets; with the exception of our "Renaissance" line of lamps. The candle section is 5/8" in height and the bulbs measure approximately 0.120" in diameter.

CK1010-32 Crystal Chandelier Candlebody Bulbs (4 pack)

These are replacement bulbs for the "Renaissance" line of fixtures. The CK1010-32 candlebody bulbs are fashioned in the same manner as the "Grand" candlebodies, only considerably smaller in size. The candle section is only 3/8" high and the bulb itself is a mere 0.077" in diameter, making them the smallest screw-base bulbs in the industry.

Measuring less then 1.3 mm (.055") in diameter these bulbs are truly a tribute to the bulb maker's art. Perfect for small scale applications where a flashlight battery or 1.5V power source such as the CK1009G transformer is available. They may also be used individually with a 12-volt transformer if connected in series through a CK1100, 680 ohm dropping resistor. Draws less than 15 ma at 1.5 volts. 1,000 hour bulb life.

Candle Sockets

These sockets have been developed especially for use with the CK1010-5 and CK1010-12 series of wire terminal bulbs. When used with a CK1010-12 bulb they provide a "true-to-scale" candle look for miniature candlesticks, chandeliers and
sconces. Since the bulbs are merely plugged in, replacement in the event of failure is
greatly simplified. The sockets are .089" in diameter and measure either 3/16" or 7/16" in length.

Screw-Base Bulbs

The CK1010-7 series is a widely used screw-in type bulb. In conjunction with a CK1010-8 socket they may be used in table lamps or in areas where easy bulb replacement is desirable. The small gauge wires from the CK1010-8 socket may be connected either to a CK1004 plug or brass braded directly into a conductive tape run. Diameter of the glass envelope is approximately 1/4" with an overall bulb length of approximately 9/16".

The CK1010-7C bulb may be used either with a 9-volt battery or as an extra-bright light source for 12-volt electrical fixtures. The CK1010-7B bulb is a replacement bulb for the CK865 Glowing Embers. 2,500 hour bulb life.
