Can you change Lights in a pre lit tree?

Having problems replacing bulbs in our pre lit Christmas tree. We want to change from solid White to Color Bulbs. The Wife bought some replacement bulbs we put them in the socket and they light up for a second then burn out. I was told to check the voltage however I lost the instruction booklet for our tree so I have no idea what voltage the ones in there are right now. I tried searching my tree online but could not find a web site or anything the brand name is %26quot;Holiday Joy%26quot; and is made in China.|||If you want to have colored lights but don%26#039;t want the hassle of finding the right bulbs and changing them out, I%26#039;d suggest getting colored light caps: http://www.christmasworld.com/christmas-鈥?/a>


Just put them over your existing white/clear mini lights.|||What country do you live in and how many bulbs are on the tree? I%26#039;m being serious.





like if you%26#039;re in the uk with 240v and you have 40 bulbs on the tree then they will normally be wired in series and each bulb will be 6v





and the voltage of the bulbs changes depending on how many you have on the tree and your wife must have bought ones of a lower voltage|||the voltage is on the adapter and really you cannot these trees are so cheap that you buy another tree but if you have a big base for the tree to stand in then inside this there may be a strip of coloured plastic and which turns round this determines what colour the lights will be
