    Customer Reviews

    These vintage-style C9 multicolor opaque glass bulbs deliver a nostalgic warm glow customers love. Shoppers praised the "fantastic classic look" and "vibrant colors." Fast shipping and excellent packaging noted. Some bulbs arrive broken or fail quickly, so customers recommend ordering extras. Hard to find elsewhere, especially incandescent versions.

    Fantastic Lighting!

    Ordering is easy and deliveries are FAST. The product is top notch and there’s variety to choose from. We purchased the C9 multicolor opaque glass bulbs for our home. We wanted that soft antique-y look rather than the new bold-bright multicolor. Since the bulbs are glass, some get broken when installing and removing. Buy extra boxes of bulbs as replacements.

    Just like when I was a kid

    I love Christmas lights but there is a special place in my heart for those old fashioned lights of my childhood. This year we decided to do the commercial grade vintage looking C9s on white wire. We bought the spool of wire, 500' and enough Gilberts to do the house, door and our large window. Super easy. My husband showed me how to cut the wire to length and create a plug using the Gilberts. Much easier than I would have thought. The white wire against the white trim looks great and the bulbs glow exactly as I remembered them. The bulbs themselves are much more sturdy than the old ceramic bulbs and every single one was undamaged and worked. The packaging was great and nothing broke. My cell phone does not take the best pictures but you can see how nice the white wire looks up against the white trim. So far, I am quite impressed.

    Bought these C9 bulbs to replenish bulbs as my opaque vintage boxes were becoming empty

    Bought these to replenish bulbs as my opaque C9 bulb stash was becoming scarce as some go out each season and many were vintage bulbs, dating back almost 70 years in some cases. Much of them were replaced with newer 4 pack multi sets over the years and I still have 2 of the vintage strings to use and they date to I think the 1950's.

    Bought a box of 4 strings and bulbs over 20 years ago and have lost 2 strings over time, as is the bulbs.

    They arrived all intact and yes, include the traditional red, blue, green, amber and white. I like to mix in other colors and have some purple/pink bulbs in this size, with some in the smaller C7 size too. I'm looking at the teal and yellow as well. I think they will look wonderful next season as everything is put away for the year.

    It is absolutely incredible that you are still using strings from the 1950s! We love hearing from customers who keep those vintage traditions alive. We are so glad we could help replenish your 'stash' with the classic multi-color C9s. That mix of red, blue, green, amber, and white is timeless. We think the Teal and Yellow would make a stunning addition to your collection next year—they have a wonderful retro glow that would fit right in with your vintage sets!

    “older” style C9 bulbs are hard to find

    These “older” style of bulbs are hard to find in local retailers. These lights, pack of 25 were just what I needed this holiday season. Your service was excellent. I will recommend you to others and order from you in the future because you have all the lighting essentials.

    We love being your 'Source' for the classics!

    Thank you so much for the recommendation! You are absolutely right—most local retailers have moved entirely to LED, making the classic C9 Opaque Glass bulbs very difficult to find on a shelf.

    We’ve been in business since 2005 specifically to make sure those 'lighting essentials' remain available for folks who love the traditional glow of a classic Christmas. We are so glad we could get these to you in time for the holidays!

    We look forward to helping you again in the future. Wishing you a wonderful start to the New Year!

    Trying to find replacement bulbs for our ancient Christmas lights was quite a chore

    Trying to find replacement bulbs for our ancient Christmas lights was quite a chore, until we found Christmas Light Source. They are perfect! Thank you Christmas Light Source!!!

    Subject: Re: So glad we could help keep your classic lights glowing!

    Thank you so much for the kind words! We know exactly how 'the chore' feels—high-quality C9 Opaque Glass bulbs are becoming harder and harder to find as the world moves toward LED.

    We take a lot of pride in being the 'Source' for those hard-to-find replacements, and we are thrilled that these were the perfect fit for your classic display. There is just something special about that traditional glow!

    Thank you for choosing Christmas Light Source, and we wish you a very Happy New Year!

    So happy to find these C9 incandescent bulbs!

    I live in California, and there must be some law against selling incandescent bulbs here. Amazon would not allow any C9 incandescent bulbs to be shipped here no matter which product I looked at. I needed some replacement bulbs for my Christmas light strings, so I was delighted to find Christmas Light Source could send me these bulbs. This was the only website that had the package of mixed colors; other websites had only large packages of one color.

    I ordered one package of 25 bulbs, and at my age these might last me a lifetime! I wanted to ask Christmas Light Source why they can ship here and Amazon can't, but I'm sure at this time of year, no one has time to answer this question.

    Incandescent Christmas light strings are very special. There is a warm glow around the bulbs that the cold LED's just don't have. Even though practically every one uses the LED's now, I will keep my incandescents as long as I can. Thank you, Christmas Light Source! Oh, and they arrived in three days, rivaling Amazon Prime.

    Great product. Exactly what I was looking for. Nostalgia feels for days!

    If you are still wondering if these are the bulbs like you had on your tree or house in the 80s, yes, these are the ones. These are THOSE bulbs. They have a fantastic classic look and give off a really nice warm, cozy glow. My kids asked for "gingerbread house" and these are perfect. These are not quite as intense as some of the more modern style LED bulbs, but the colors are accurate to the vintage style. Shipping was surprisingly fast. Packaging was also excellent. This will be my go to source from now on.

    The right color!

    What a treat to find such great looking lights! Just like the ones I remember seeing on houses growing up. They look great and the information, service and speech of Christmas Light Source is fantastic! It's too bad they're out of stock or I'd order even more!

    Just like when I was a kid.

    I ordered 200 of these lamps to fill the two new 100' stringers I ordered. They shipped UPS along with the new stringers and out of 200 lamps, only 1 was broken, and I'm not going to complain about that at all.

    Love them! Order extras

    I love love love these C9 bulbs. I have literally purchased and returned dozens of boxes of lights over the past year because they're never what I was hoping for when I get home. These are perfect! I bought 9 boxes of bulbs and one came broken in almost every box, plus a few blew out right away, so definitely order extras.

    Just making sure prior to purchase , are these Ceramic? Thank you.

    CLS Customer Service

    These bulbs are made of glass and painted with an opaque, matt paint whose appearance is referred to as "ceramic" or opaque. Vintage cermic bulbs were also glass with opaque, matte paint. I hope this helps answer your question.
