    Travis the guy that was buying bulbs hasn't logged in for quite some time...maybe someone else does though.

    My yard buys lights with bulbs connected, I figure just leave them and get some extra weight if they don't mind not do I, the small ones are hard to pull and if anything take the screw on ones and smash for aluminum.

    Devin...people buy the bulbs in "lots" on Ebay to use as replacements.

    *Chokes* @pjost lol

    I dunno that I'd buy a ''lot'' of bulbs when they are just as cheap to buy new again at most stores.

    I always thought it was funny that you could buy a card of about 5 replacement bulbs for a few bucks or just buy another string for a buck more.

    indeed I have not gotten any head from anyone on here lol oh my lol but as for the bulbs ebay will do seeing about $4lb on regs and double that for leds so should be interesting to see what time I am willing to spend putting these in lots instead of one huge box lol as for legos they are like bricks of gold

    Christmas lights ruin the ambient lighting effect of snow at night, but there are some practical uses, such as stringing around a quarantined area.
