I have a small 6 inch size Christmas tree. Could I use this kit but just change the bulb size? Also, please recommend a small size star for the top.

It depends on the size of the hole in the base. This is a kit that fit a small hole and is what I think you need. If it has a large (close to an inch, you need the kit that has the kind that has a clip in bulb. As for the star, I think that will be hard. It depends on the size of the hole but many will be too big. You will probably need to take the tree to a store such as Michael's.

I replaced a 12V/5W krypton incandescant "MR8" size lamp with it. Worked great. Runs cooler, was brighter. ("MR8" is a standard bulb size for this type of lamp_ Maybe the color wheel motor will last longer now. It's in the Xmas ornament and stored away. I did find the bad one I took out, still on the workbench (which it replaced nicely): That measures 2.5 cm diameter at top (just under 1"), and height is ~2.6cm(1") from top of glass to bottom of glass (not counting the pins)

If you are using the bulb tea, you will have to make a full pot. The pots aren't that big anyways. If you use loose tea leaves, then you can make a smaller amount. If want even smaller than don't use that pot.

I've used the kit on many different bulbs with success. On the par38 bulbs, moisten the suction cup attachment and it should work just fine for you. Some time the suction is too great so I attach a string to the eye of the suction cup so when the bulb has been screwed in and I want the suction to release I can pull the string to get the kit from the bulb. Good luck! ... Capt. Stu

It takes a small bulb to fit, so would check and see if there are any such bulbs made bright enough.

I replaced the low wattage bulb with a much brighter but even lower wattage LED, and it is very bright now. You need to get a very small LED bulb tho, so it will fit, I got the equivalent of a 60w bulb in a 15w LED candle light shaped bulb.

Hi. This one wont be best for christmas tree lights. There is a non dimmer one that will handle more wattage. I believe it is the same price as this one. Hope this was helpful. Have a merry christmas :)

There are other choices but my lighting fixtures will not accommodate other size bulbs. Look at Lowe's or Home Depot for similar thread type and you will find something less expensive.

The manufactures suggests: Should not change bulbs size as it could melt the wiring system harness. We do not suggest changing the bulbs.

I'm not sure how to ask a question here. How high is this, and how wide is the narrow part at the bottom? I have small light bulbs (the kind with about a 1/2" screw rather than full size) and a UNO fitting (my two lamps were made in England, but I had them rewired for the USA when I moved back. I have had a very hard time finding new shades, the ones I just bought are too short, so want to know exactly the dimensions of this piece, as I think it might work. Also, what is the distance at the very top of the narrowest point above the socket, as I need to see if that will get in the way of my round small bulbs (they are LED so I'm keeping them a long time).

The stem that fits into the Christmas Tree measures 0.125 inches in diameter. The stem itself is 0.340 inches in length. The diameter of the actual bulb is 0.30 inches. The length of the bulb is 0.5 inches.

I don't think you would be happy with this light kit as the light are the small "flame" tip lights. I wanted a regular light kit that uses regular type of light bulbs. The light from the "flame" tip bulbs are more for 'mood' than light.

That might be too small. If the shade can slide over the bulb socket it will fit. I cut the wire on my shade to go over the bulb socket. There are pictures in the comments.

Sorry I said yes. Actually you have to change the bottom of the bulb holder which hold bigger bottom. You get them at amazon. I did that and I am using any watts I want.

I used a medium size lamp shade for my project. A large would work well too. A small would not cover the bulb socket and base.

I put a higher watt bulb in it than the "broken" one that it came with. I didn't go too big, but a step up from the original. Still not real bright, but does better, the higher you can place it, as mine gives off more colored light from the sides than it does the top.

Thank You for replying. Now I can be more confident on buying this next time. Although, I have one last question. Does this work for all LED christmas lights? Except those big bulb ones and probably the round dome type.
