One Christmas was so sad for me; even my grandmother’s candelabra, filled with bubble lights in assorted colors, didn’t cheer me up.
My grandmother displayed a bubble light candelabra similar to the one featured above in the front window of her home.
Bubble lights were introduced to the U.S. market in 1945 after the Second World War.
The liquid in the lights has a low boiling point, and bubbles form due to the heat from the light bulbs.
Although typically placed on Christmas trees, bubble lights can be used in electrical candelabras, night lights, and other electrical devices that use bulbs with the same C6 size base.
The former NOMA Corporation was the largest manufacturer of “BUBBLE-LITES.”
Specialty bubble lights are available for other holidays.
Although less popular today, bubble lights are enjoyed in homes across the nation.
