Long Shot - Outdoor Light Bulbs 2.4V 0.48W

[GaryMonster]

Hi, I purchased some outdoor garden lights from Homebase a few year back now, they are the xmas tree light type bulb, the ones you can easily take the light out of the green holder. They are 2.4v 0.48w according to the label on the transformer.

Homebase can't really help me unless I have the item number, which I don't as I'm hardly going to keep a box when in they're permanently in a garden tree. I tried at Xmas to find the bulbs but none were the same V nor W. I've searched the web high and low, I can't find these bulbs for love nor money!

Anyone know if they are likely to be named something different than miniature bulb, xmas bulb, even 2.4v .048w bulb!!!!

If anyone has any ideas where I might source this that would be great as I don't fancy replacing two sets that are in a tree with ivy now grown over the cable!

Might be of some help.

Thanks I'll give them a try.

also, scan a bulb and post the pic. someone may recognise it. For small items, a scanner is often better than a digital camera.
