I'm attempting to repair a fiber optic Christmas tree. The power wires that go to the light have metal clips on the end that go into the ceramic lamp holder. There are two channels one for each wire but channels are bigger than the metal clips that fit in each channel, and there are old rusted springs that help hold it into place in each channel. The lamp leads fit down into each channel wedging into the springs further holding everything into place.
My question is I'm trying to replace the rusted springs and was wondering if a standard spring from an ink pen or mechanical pencil would work as replacements. I don't want anything that would overheat and burn my house down. Lamp is 75w, 12v 6.5amp
