Replacing bulbs in xmas tree lights

[FONT=&quot]Anyone know a cheap source for replacement bulbs?

I have a set of noma "80 twinkling shimmering mini lights" which cost me 16.99 a few years ago (still have the box)

That is 80 bulbs for 16.99

Replacement bulbs on the noma website are £8 for 20 bulbs - £32 for the full 80!!!

I hate throwing things away, but seems to me its cheaper to buy a replacement set which seems very wasteful [IMG]file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/ALYSON%7E1.ALY/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image001.gif[/IMG]

    I agree that it seems a little wasteful to throw the old lights away, wouldn't a new set of LED ones be more efficient and save you money on the running cost?
    The ones I bought at tesco last year were about £10 and are all working this year still and had a lot of use! I haven't seen many replacement bulbs around so much, so cant help you there, sorry! :)
