The miniature lights were conceived in 1895 by Ralph E. Morris, an employee of the new England telephone company. Morris’s idea for lights occurred as he was looking at the tiny bulbs in the telephone switchboards. Select the following link to view our Christmas outdoor lights. Today American’s enjoy a variety of colorful light bulb colors and shapes. In the 1930’s the popular cartoon figure lights were used were use to decorate Christmas trees.
In the mid 1940’s and into the 1950’s the country was introduced to the American Christmas bubble lights. The Christmas bubble light bulbs had a liquid filled colored tube on top of the holiday light. When the Christmas bubble light bulbs heated up, bubbles would rise in the Christmas bubble lights bulb tube.
Tip: What to do when the bubble lights cease to bubble? Unplug the Christmas bubble lights from the wall outlet. Unscrew the bubble lights from the light socket and give the Christmas bubble light bulb a good shaking. When shaking the bubble light the liquids will be mix together again, restoring the bubbles to their original bubbling action. Select
Bubbling is caused by light bulb heating up the oil inside of the fixture. If it's not bubbling then either some oil has leaked out and the air is displacing some of the heat, the bulb is the wrong wattage and not getting hot enough, or its cold inside your house. Try giving it a good shake before you really start taking things apart.

The liquid in the bubble light is in a very low pressure and when it is exposed to the heat of the lights it bubbles (it littery boils at low temperature).
You either have a leak that let the air equalize the pressure,or the temperature suorce is not hot enough.
Try to put the bubble light near another light.

Indeed, the liquid in the candle begins to boil...bubble ...when in proximity to the warm light bulb in the base. Light candles that don't bubble merely need to be removed, inverted and lightly shaken. When they are uprighted they may begin to bubble even before replacing them in the socket! It would seem a bubble of gas formed in the base of the candle, did not rise, and thus insulated the liquid above from the required heat of the bulb. Inverting and shaking releases the trapped bubble.
