How to replace Lytworx festoon bulb?

Hi all,

I'm wondering whether it is possible to replace a festoon bulb on the Lytworx Connectable Flat Cable Party Lights without having to replace/dispose of the whole length of lights as the 9 other bulbs on the strand work. Unfortunately it has just passed warranty by 2 months.

I've tried contacting Lytworx and was redirected to Dats the supplier to ask whether and where I can purchase a replacement bulb but no response yet.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. 🙂

Hi @homeinmelbourne

Lytworks does have a replacment globe with an Edison E27 standard screw in Low voltage. But I cant see if it will be compatable with your light set.

I recommend seeing if you blown bulb unscrews from its socket firstly and then take that bulb and light string details into bunnings and try find a direct bulb shape match. Also there maybe competitor brands that may screw in as low voltage (Ican see voltage displayed to advise on this)

Failing a match and your bulb does unscrew then if it is also a screw thread E27 then try this light bulb it will either work or not work hard too tell with limited information.

Hi @homeinmelbourne,

It's great to see that @Jewelleryrescue has been assisting. The replacement festoon globe suggests that it can only be used on Lytworx 10 Warm White LED Connectable Party Lights and appears to be a different style globe. That particular kit lists that it has replacement globes, whereas the kit you're using does not. However, if your kit does not have replacement globes, then they should be designed to last for a significant amount of time, and in your case, they haven't. Regardless of the 12-month warranty period, it does not appear that you've got a fair use out of them, and I'd be happy to assist with returning the product. Perhaps you might like to replace the kit or upgrade to the Lytworx 10 Warm White LED Connectable Party Lights that have the replacement globes.

I'll reach out via PM to get some additional details from you so I can facilitate the return.

Def touch base with @MitchellMc pretty sure that set doesn't have replacement bulbs

Hi @Jewelleryrescue ,

Thank you for responding to my query and your suggestions on the replacement globe. Unfortunately after looking at the globes closer, I think this particular light set has sealed globes that can't be replaced.

Thank you as always @MitchellMc for your helpful suggestions and generous offer to replace the set.

Hi @MitchellMc, I found this forum post through a Google search and I’m thinking I might be in the same situation as @homeinmelbourne

I have 2 sets of lytworx party lights and on both sets, the third last LED bulb is playing up. The lights are sealed and do not look like are replaceable. I purchased these lights 2 years ago, but noticed this problem last Christmas when setting up the lights again, but put it off as a future problem. Any suggestions?

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @UKbutBrisbane.

As discussed, the globes in this set are sealed units and non-replaceable. If it were within the 12-month warranty, they would have been a direct swap for a new set. I understand replacing the kit might not be a priority, but returning faulty products as soon as possible is always best to take advantage of your warranty.

I would still encourage you to visit your local store with the faulty product and your proof of purchase to discuss the issue with a manager. I trust they'll do their best to help resolve the situation.

Hi @UKbutBrisbane

Some sets of lytwork bulbs do seam to have led replacements like the one below an Edison screw bulb E27 at 36V

But I think you would see if the bulb is screw in or not so it maybe your sets are the the un replacable led kind which would mean replacing the whole set which is sadly waste full.

Or maybe have another string of lights with fixable bulbs this time if you wish over lap the first set and the dead light is not obvious as in a single string line you can keep it running for a while longer.

For people that have them permanently setup year round running through metal cable for stability it’s a huge job to pull them down to replace one bulb & ofcourse out of the warranty period

Hi @askingfirhelp,

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is wonderful to have you with us.

I understand your frustrations, but unfortunately, there is no way to replace individual bulbs in that set.

As above, if they were within the warranty period, they could be returned and replaced without issue, but I would still encourage you to head to the store of purchase with your proof of purchase to discuss the issue with a manager. We trust they will do their best to help.
