Next is the light bulb.
This is a good time of year to look at and for the the bulbs used in these lights.
In my lights I use Christmas light bulbs most of the time.
They don't put out a lot of heat they are small and use little electricity.
The thing to do when using these lights is to frost your glass of the globe you use.
When you frost the globe the light will show up much better than when a clear globe is used.
The frosting of the globe makes the light reflect off of the frosting on the globe and this
makes the light brighter.

The first blub we will look at is the snow globe or also called Lighted Ice. (see first photo)
These bulbs come in many colors, looks like these are 6 watts and use the candelabra socket. (see photo #2)
The Lighted Ice bulbs are good for Fixtures where you will see the bulb. (see photo #3)
You can buy these online Ebay or at flea markets and antique shops/shows around Christmas time and
cost about $3.00 bucks each.

Next is the Starlight bulb, Seen left and right of the Snow globe bulb.
Same as the Lighted Ice only different shape. (see photo #4)
Now is the time to get these lights, Right before Christmas.
I buy them now so I will have them when I need them months from now.
