Globe Lights

Globe lights come in such a large variety of sizes and the names they use, G30, G40 and G50, do not give you any idea of what size the bulbs actually are.A rule of thumb for remembering the sizes is, the larger the number the larger the bulb diameter. G50 is the size bulb that most people think of when they hear, traditional globe lights. All globe lights come in either C7 (candelabra) base or C9 (intermediate) base. This way they will fit in any socket that you have around the house from old light strings.

The sizes are as follows: G50 - 2 Inch Diameter

                                           G40 - 1 1/2 Inch Diameter

                                     G30 - 1 Inch Diameter

Globe bulbs are also available in LED's! These bulbs come in G50 size with a C9 base. LED globe lights are gaining popularity due to the low power usage and long life. LED globe bulbs are rated for around 50,000 hours and use around one watt of power.

Globe lights are used for a variety of projects. One of the most popular uses is for outdoor lighting around decks and patios. G50 bulbs as wedding and party lighting is a inexpensive way to get a very dramatic lighting effect. These globe bulbs used along with a Christmas light controller is a great way to achieve a chasing window display lighting. These bulbs are even a great prom or theater productions.

More than just the varying size of globe bulbs, the wattage varies also. G30 and G40 with a C7 base bulbs are 5 watts, whereas G50 with a C7 base bulbs are 7 watts. You will have to take wattage into consideration when doing your lighting projects so that you do not overload your wire.

Hopefully this has given you a little insight on globe lights sizes and various applications. Check out our selection of globe lights.

New Wide Angle LED Battery Sets Price

We've dropped the prices on our 5mm Wide Angle battery light sets! Now they are $6.39 a string! Our Battery Christmas lights are a major upgrade over the old style of battery powered mini lights, LED battery sets last over 25 hours with fresh Alkaline "AA" batteries!

LED sets are great for weddings, center pieces, parties, and other places where you need light without a easy to reach power source. I use them to light my jack o lanterns during the halloween season, using these keeps your pumpkin from drying out from using a candle!

We offer our battery powered LED light strings in a variety of colors in the wide angle bulb style, we are going to be updating our M5 and Short M5 Battery powered LED sets. On the right you can see the bulb next to a US Dime and a ballpoint pen. They are very small and last a long time on a few batteries they are great for small projects and even work in halloween costumes! They come in a variety of colors just like other battery sets.

C7 and C9 opaque orange bulbs on black wire are perfect for Halloween decor. You can string them inside your house, outside your house or even in the trees and bushes. It will give  your house a little different look then the rest of the houses in your neighborhood.

Something else to think about is novelty lights. There are so many cute options to fit any fall and Halloween decor you choose. Mini lights with pumpkins, ghosts and black cats or mini lights that look like candy corn. What about Halloween icicle lights? These come with spiders on them or in orange and black mini lights. They are cute and festive!

If you want to go very different you can pick the Halloween light displays. LED bats, jack-o-lanterns and wagons full of pumpkins. Light displays are great for homes or businesses to help get people in the Halloween spirit!
