When Christmas came around, there were two rules for many kids. Don’t touch the presents under the tree, and don’t touch the bubble lights! Before there were pre-lit LED lights on Christmas trees, bubble light sets were the Christmas lights everyone’s grandmother had on their tree. I know you remember those green wires and bubbling lights you weren’t allowed to touch.

If you’re dreaming of a retro or vintage Christmas, here’s your chance to add Christmas bubble lights to your Christmas tree. Noma Bubble Lites are available on Amazon. There are no better Christmas decorations than the homemade Christmas ornaments you made for your parents back in kindergarten, but holiday bubble lights sure do come close.
Are Bubble Lights Dangerous?
According to poision.org, bubble lights contain methylene chloride that can cause poisoning if inhaled or spilled on the skin. Kids are known for breaking ornaments, so this can be an extremely dangerous decoration to keep in households with children.
Since kids can see the light moving inside the lights, they typically become curious and try to touch them. Not only can they be poisonous, but they also a fire hazard. Christmas tree fires do happen, and Christmas tree lights are often the cause of them. To prevent your lights from overheating, simply turn them off each night.
I know you might be thinking, “I had these growing up. Kids are just delicate these days.” Yeah, well hopefully these lights stay out of reach. You wouldn’t want kids or pets being harmed by Vintage Noma lites.
How Do Bubble Lights Work?
Once bubble lights are plugged in, the heat begins to boil the liquid inside of the bulb. (This causes bubbles.)
