Tiny Bubble Lights

July 18

Bubble lights for Christmas decorations were introduced to the US in 1946 by NOMA, one of the largest American manufacturers of Christmas lights. They were also used in operating accessories for Lionel and American Flyer model trains in the form of special drop-down gates and oil wells. On a grander scale, the same technology makes the bubbles in Wurlitzer jukeboxes. Soon there will be LED versions, but the cool burning lights are going to need tiny heaters to work.
