REPLACEMENT BULB GUIDE

Updated last May 24, 2023

Balsam Hill™ offers a wide variety of bulb options for our Christmas trees and decorative foliage. This guide aims to help you find the right replacement bulbs for your existing product.

BULB REPLACEMENT BEST PRACTICES

While a single burnt out bulb may not cause an entire strand to go out immediately, it can, over time, significantly decrease the life of the strand. To prevent this, we recommend the prompt replacement of burnt out or damaged bulbs. Bulb replacement is easy to do with the bulb remover tool and extra bulbs included with your pre-lit Balsam Hill Christmas tree.

LIGHT TYPES

INCANDESCENT: CLEAR, MULTI, AND COLOR +CLEAR™

Incandescent lights are traditional lights that emit a soft, warm glow and are found on many Balsam Hill trees. Standard incandescent bulbs come with green or white bases depending on the tree model, and can be replaced at the bulb and strand level.

Clear incandescent emit a soft, clear glow.
Multi incandescent feature red, green, blue, and yellow bulbs.
Incandescent Color+Clear Balsam Hill trees have both Clear and Multi bulbs on separate strands. These Clear and Multi bulbs are not color-changing.
