Where to buy replacement halogen light bulb for small fiber

[David Smith]

We have a small decorative plastic Christmas tree with fiber optic
lights. It uses a halogen light bulb, which fits in a 2-prong socket
called "MR11" and is 12V 10W. The light no longer works and we want
to replace it. Where can we find a 12V 10W MR11 halogen light bulb?
We did a search on Google etc., but the ones with reasonable prices
only sell them in quantities of 50 and the ones that sell single light
bulbs charge 5 times as much. We wouldn't mind buying a few just in
case it burns out again, but 50 is way too many.

Why not just go to a local home center store such as Home Depot?

I had the same problem a month ago and made a similar post, but got

nothing useful. I even called the mail order store where I bought it and
they said they don't have them. I finally found them at Pacific Lamp in
Beaverton OR. and they would sell 1-2 across the counter. I doubt they do
mail order but maybe??. Cost was around $6-7 if I recall right. Try the
yellow pages under lamps and supplies and just keep asking. Good

Recently bought one for our fibre optic display at Wal-Mart, they had about
50 of them @ 6.99ea. I was at home depot, and they had about 10 on a peg
display for $6.49.
Web-shopping is not always your best bet.
