Need help identify & locate

[Jeff Ivers]

Years ago, I bought some of these vinyl/latex sleeves designed to go over the little 4 watt light bulbs used in Malibu landscape lights.

I need about a dozen more of each color. Unfortunately, I have always called them "Malibu condoms" and, for obvious reasons, cannot locate them under that name or any other I can think to use.

Can you help me with the real name and a source to purchase new or used?

Thanks in advance.

Apparently they are called silicone bulb covers, silicone bulb caps, or colored bulb covers depending on who's describing them. I'm not sure about the exact colors or sizes. They are used in pinball machines and automobile instrument clusters in the sizes appropriate for those applications. I don't have any personal experience with them or any of the following vendors:

I think those were also used on nurse call systems.

Great information - thanks for posting! Unfortunately, all of these appear to be too small. My covers are about 15mm diameter by 28 mm length.

Thanks for posting! Unfortunately what I need is quite a bit larger.
