Using larger size lamps in christmas light strings can cause the fuse to blow.

I am trying to locate some clear 12 volt mini bulbs for a tree topper star. The star came with amber lights and I prefer the clear ones. I have some clear bulbs which are only 4 volts each and therefore don't provide as bright a light. If you don't have any 12 volt bulbs, can you suggest where I might find these. I have checked both with the store where the star was purchased (Smith & Hawken) and their company customer service. Neither can help me.Thank you.

Rather than replacing the individual light bulb, you might consider just replacing the actual string of lights in the star. Every CHRISTMAS LIGHT SET have fuses in the cord cap that are designed to prevent overloads and short circuits. I am afraid that if you do find the brighter lamps that you may be disappointed with the outcome.
