Thread: Lights for blow molds. Where can I get them?

Tweet

Many a Halloween fanatic has had this dilemma, you find a blow mold on the cheap at a yard sale, but its missing the light and cord. This being Christmas time, I have to believe theres some kind of product out there that is made to light up old blow molds. All it has to be is a cord and a light. Does anyone know which stores would have this sort of item?

I'm certain you could find them at craft stores. Likely, even Walmart would carry them. The bulb types are usually C-7's, often found in old style (pre-led) nightlights. C-7's are also used in the medium-large glass christmas light strings as well. Shop the xmas lighting aisles & you'll very likely run across what you are looking for.

Jo-Ann fabrics carries what you are looking for. Look in the candle/home decor area. You can find an inexpensive set, especially if you wait for a 50% off coupon. As Raven's Hollow said, they are usually non-LED C-7's.

I know right after halloween my Dollar Trees had them, cheap but they work! I got several for my cheap yardsale blowmolds

Yeah, I've found replacements at Menard's in their lighting department for the C-7 (night light) size light cords.

Anyone know where you can get cheap replacements for the larger, full-size bulb cord sets? The ones that have a standard size bulb base that're attached to a round plastic base?

Home depot some take the same size of appliance light bulbs.

You can always find them on EBay but they are expensive. I guess the thing is if you want an original replacement it might be worth the money to you. If you're handy with tools you can buy the sockets at most any hardware stores, cut some materiel to fit the hole (whatever you like), attach the socket and drill holes for the screws.

Thanks for all the replies.

My sister got one for a few dollars at Walmart last year for her Santa blow mold.

Which ones are we talking about here, the small ones that just clip into a small hole in the mold or the large ones that screw into the mold and hold a larger light??
