Where to find replacement light bulbs for artificial Christmas Tree? (lemmy.world)

Dearest lemmings, I have a prelit Costco tree that changes from warm white to color and several of the lights are out but I cannot for my life find a replacement anywhere. I called Costco/Polygroup (company that made the tree) and they don't sell replacement led light bulbs but they gave me these specs: LED dual color 3mm Green Base 20MA 1.8-2.4V or 2.8-3.6V. I tried buying a set of lights at Home Depot but they did not fit and my google-fu is failing me.

They could be Phillips dual color mini LED lights. Target currently has a few versions of the strings and the specs list 3mm LED. The exact names on target are "Philips 210ct LED App Controlled Christmas String Lights Dual Color" or "Philips 200ct LED App-Controlled Color Changing Create Motion Dome String Lights" You could probably use the bulbs in your current lights, but the strings are kind of pricey.

There is another maybe from Sylvania that doesn't list the bulb size. Amazon has "Sylvania Stay-Lit Platinum 100-Count Color Changing LED Mini Dual Lights". Apparently Costco also used to sell these, but doesn't have them right now .

It might not be possible to find just a few replacement bulbs, but I wish you luck.

I'm going to give the Target lights a try! They are a little more pricey but hella cheaper than a new tree and then I'll have plenty of lights to replace for a couple years. I'll keep you posted! Thank you so, so much for your help 🤗
