Higuchi JCR 8297 - 10 Watt MR11 Light Bulb, 12 Volt, 40 Degree Flood

I purchased the bulb for one of the houses in my Christmas village. I wasn't able to find it locally, so was very happy to find it on line. I popped it into the house and the lights on the house didn't change colors. My husband found that I hadn't lined it up correctly and put it in the correct way and it works great. Ironically I just found it tonight at the Home Depot store about 15 miles away. It was $1.30 cheaper, but I was just so happy to be able to enjoy the house this Christmas season, that I don't care. It's good to know that I can find it there if that bulb blows out again.

The light that I ordered was just perfect. I ordered it to fix a small decorative Christmas tree. The light arrived promptly, the price was very fair, and it works great!

It is sometimes difficult to know what bulb you need for certain brands of fountain. There are different voltages, wattages and illuminated fields which are measured in degrees. This distributor is very clear about all fo these characteristics which can usually be found printed on the bulb, if they are not in the manual. In ordering bulbs, I would be careful to look at the actual bulb because some manufacturers use one manual for multiple products with different specifications. If you are ordering a fountain, I would also get replacement bulbs up front. For some reason, the brand new bulbs that come with my fountains burned out rather quickly. I think this may have to do with getting grease on them at some point in the packaging. It is very important NOT to handle the actual bulb itself when you are dealing with Halogen.
