Miniature incandescent lights, commonly designated with a “C7” size classification, are frequently marketed during the holiday season. These lights are characterized by their candelabra-style base (E12) and a larger bulb than the more ubiquitous “C6” size. They often feature a smooth, oblong shape and come in a variety of colors. A typical example would be a string of multicolored C7 lights used to outline a roofline.
These lights contribute to festive decorations, creating a warm and inviting ambiance. Historically, larger format lights like the C7 size were among the earliest types of electric Christmas lights available, adding a touch of nostalgia to modern displays. Their larger size makes them easily visible from a distance and provides a more pronounced glow compared to smaller bulb types. This can enhance visibility and contribute to a more dramatic and traditional holiday aesthetic.
