    If you scroll down, it says 110V. Beyond that, LED bulbs are not really rated in watts, they are rated in lumens. And there is no direct conversion of lumens to watts because it depends on the efficiency of the bulb. This means any conversion calculator will only provide estimates.

    Also, LEDs come in different "color temperatures". This is not about heat but rather the color, stated in Kelvins (K) of the light output, from yellowish-orange to cool white which has a blueish tint to it.

    That said, because of the watts versus lumens confusion and different color temperatures, you will often see marketing text stating watts and colors - but understand, this is marketing hype and not based on real technical specifications.

    And note the color temperatures stated in Kelvin are based on technical fact. However, there is no industry standard for the names applied to those temperatures. So Maker-A may claim their 2700K LED is "soft white" while Maker-B may call their 2700K bulb "warm white".

    So with that, if you look on the left side in your link at the 3rd image down, you will see where it says the bulbs have 1W filaments, E26 bases and output a "soft warm white" glow.

    With that information, you should be able to find replacement bulbs with E26 bases and "similar" light output. However, finding a replacement bulb with the exact same output color and the same shape of the bulb itself may be a real challenge.

    I think if me, I would visit The Home Depot, Lowes, or a lighting store and look at their strings and then look at their replacement bulbs. Then, if possible, buy a string that uses the same bulbs as one of the replacements they carry. And I would probably buy a few replacements at the same time - just to have on hand. Oh, I would also plug the string in at the store to make sure all the bulbs work before buying - something you cannot do with Amazon.

    Did you notice there's only one left.
    If it's damaged, you'll have to return it and no replacement will be offered.
