These cords were advertised as using a C7 bulb (7 watt). When they arrived, it says to use a 5 watt bulb. What should I do?

Unfortunately I've packed all of my Xmas village away. I would use the 5 watt bulb since it runs a little cooler.

There's no trick to it....just plug & play. Either you got a bad batch or there is a compatibility problem. Double check the compatibility & if it's the correct bulb then return them. And you may want to double check that the fixture is getting power by putting in an old working bulb (of you have one.)

Hi Reba. You have provided insufficient information to answer your question. You need to know the wattage (or the amperage) of all your bulbs. Provide the total amperage/wattage of all your bulbs combined (or the watts/amps of a single bulb if all the bulbs are the exact same). If you provide those numbers, your question can be answered.

Find one with a higher wattage equivalent, they work but not as bright as i would like.I also need to keep one of the original bulbs in the circut. (7) LED & (1) regular filament bulb.If I didn't bulbs would constantly flash. Has to do with Malibu transformer voltage regulator.

I use 40 watt bulbs. This is a great lamp, all of the fixtures swivel and the cord matches the lamp as well. I have had this for over a year and it's a great product.

I wish I had seen the prior comment before I ordered. The seller did the exact same thing and shipped a 2GX7 bulb instead of the 2G7 which was ordered.

The pack I received were mini bulbs. If you are not using mini bulbs...go to home depot. I ended up having to go there and buy bulbs that were the correct size, because the picture is misleading.

I have not had to replace any bulbs and I have 7 lights and 1 spot light in one line. What gauge wire did you use? I used 12 gauge wire so I am able to use more that I have now? If you use used a smaller gauge wire that would be your problem. My email address is flintstone45@comcast.net if you have any other questions.

The item's instructions calls for 25 watt candalabra base bulbs. That's what I used.

If the voltage and amperage is the same as regular bulbs they should work fine. They may come on a little slower, but should work fine. check with bulb dealer they should know for sure

The question was raised because the Amazon description says 7 watt but the sale header says it's a 7watt bulb??

I believe these are made for small bulbs (50 watt - MR 16 type). You would have to get confirmation from Mfg.

I just used 65 watt bulbs and they are fine. I'm sure you can do 75 watt bulbs.

I would not use it if it was a different wattage. Many of my bulbs have burned out over the years (I keep these lights up in my backyard year-round). I have found that if I keep an eye out for the strings of them on sale at HomeDepot, Fred Meyer, etc., that it's just easiest to buy replacement strings and use the bulbs from those to replace the ones that break/burn out.

I'm saying no,but contact the company to make sure. The bulbs that you receive are huge.

60 watt max. I use a 60 watt led bulb that only used 10 watts. I added an inline switch so i don't have to use the pull cord. Does the job. This set up works great for me.

It depends on your transformer. For instance my transformer is 88 watts and I have 10 Malibu lights, so I use 7 watt bulbs. Keep total wattage at or below total wattage of your transformer.
