[QUOTE="Jax, post: 494841, member: 32584"] Hi there. I am refurbishing a wall light. It's like a tree branch with blossoms, each blossom represented by a little bulb. [URL="https://picclick.co.uk/Habitat-Tse-Tse-Cherry-Blossom-LED-Light-202302027481.html"]https://picclick.co.uk/Habitat-Tse-Tse-Cherry-Blossom-LED-Light-202302027481.html[/URL] There are three types of bulb: Round white Long pink Teeny clear Various clusters and branches weren't working but I have got most of it going again by a painstaking process of bulb testing and swapping. There is no rhyme or reason to how these bulbs affect each other! Funfunfun. I have got some branches going by short-circuiting blown white bulbs by wrapping the bases with a sliver of tinfoil. Is this safe or silly? I have found a few bulbs that look right on ebay so hopefully it's only temporary. None of the foil is exposed. I am short by 7 or 8 of the teeny clear bulbs, though. I have managed to get their branches going by stuffing tinfoil into the vacant bulb holders. Can someone tell me the best way of permanently making the current travel across these holders? Would it be enough to put a blob of some electrical / heat resistant adhesive on top of the foil? (Ideally I would replace with new bulbs but can't find anything like them - their bases are smaller than the other two types.) TIA [/QUOTE]
