Nativity Figurals

The Angle Gabriel Bulb is referred to as a Clown. Both Item C and (I believe) E (Can't see it larger - 404 error) are parts of an 18 lite Nativity set(s). They were sold as 2 separate 9 lite festoons, or 2 separate parts of a Nativity scene. I have the Stable complete with sockets in the bottom and a festoon from my GGGM and all 18 lights still working. Rather than the silly thing my GGM did by putting the stable on the mantel next to the tree and Hanging the wise men, sheep herder, and other figures on the tree next to it; I made a platform with the festoon so I can display all the lights correctly. Also, I use all my Old Tree Lights on 50% less power so they last forever. And they still are Bright.

Levitron makes a Cord Switch, Hi/Lo/Off dimmer. I put them on sets I keep, and plug others into extension cords that I have put these on. I have no trouble with bubble lights, they just take longer to bubble.

It never occurred to me to use a dimmer! Thank you!
