I have seen these and I believe the wire gauge is 26, as you say not good for 120V. But would they work for just 1 C7 bulb? That’s the stuff I don’t know. I’ve also seen JST connectors on Amazon; some are for 20 AWG. Again, I have no idea if that would be okay for 120V. Maybe 10 bulb strings?
As for LEDs, I don’t think they would work for ceramic buildings. I don’t think they would make the building ‘glow’. Though, again, I don’t know.

I’ve also though about lower voltage bulbs, like the 1447 18V bulbs. My memory of these bulbs from American Flyer accessories is they are really hot when run for a long time -- much hotter than a C7. And would they give off enough light to rival a C7 bulb?
