Village Lighting & Power was established in 2018 as an alternative solution for the lighting and power distribution of Department 56 village houses.

The standard Department 56 incandescent bulb (the short tubular bulbs) is a 5 to 7-watt bulb. Early Snow Village houses were distributed with C7 bulb (shaped like the more traditional Christmas light); clear; and 7 and 10-watts from the ones measured. These were replaced in the 1980s with the standard 7-watt bulb that we associate with Department 56 houses. More recently that bulb has been distributed in a 5-watt version. The difference between the 5-watt and 7-watt are subtle and not noticeable.

We have introduced a line of lower cost, incandescent replacement bulbs in both a standard 3-pack and 25-box packages.

We have also developed a line of Forever LED replacement bulbs. These bulbs cost about twice as much as the traditional replacement bulbs but offer significantly greater performance. The operate at about 10-15% of the Incandescent power (an 85%+ cost savings in electricity), they operate very close to room temperature (cool to the touch), and are being introduced in six different lighting colors/temperatures.
