Where to find replacement light bulbs for artificial Christmas Tree?
Dearest lemmings, I have a prelit Costco tree that changes from warm white to color and several of the lights are out but I cannot for my life find a replacement anywhere. I called Costco/Polygroup (company that made the tree) and they don't sell replacement led light bulbs but they gave me these specs: LED dual color 3mm Green Base 20MA 1.8-2.4V or 2.8-3.6V. I tried buying a set of lights at Home Depot but they did not fit and my google-fu is failing me.

If it’s like old standard ones, here’s what you do:
See those metal posts at the bottom? Bend them straight down.
Lift the bulb out of the base.
Do the same to a burned out bulb.
Put the new bulb in the old base and bend the posts back up into place.
This is so clever! I have never heard of doing this, you guys I'm feeling so hopeful right now!! 🤩🤗
Did it work?!
YES! You beautiful and helpful lemmings saved Christmas!! Love you all soooo much
Awesome! Your tree looks great!
Thank you! 🥰
Those look like press-ins, and they're pretty standard. You could remove the bulb itself like mentioned, or you can remove the whole piece from another set and just press them into yours. I don't know if you'll be able to find individual lights though.
This is what we always did to give new life to our rooftop reindeer. They were also from Costco and it seemed like their bases didn't match any other string.
