The light has the familiar warm tone you get from an incandescent filament.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDE3175 \/ 3175 festoon format with SV8.5-8 end caps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e31 mm overall length (about 1.22 in), for fixtures specified for 31 mm festoon lamps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12V, 10W incandescent bulb for standard 12V DC lighting circuits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits spring-clip festoon holders, with no rewiring when replacing the same bulb type\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeeps the incandescent look and dimming behavior where the fixture uses this bulb type\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eFestoon bulbs are all about physical fit. Confirm your existing lamp is the 31 mm style and that your holder uses SV8.5-8 end caps. If your fixture calls for a different length (for example 36 mm or 42 mm) or a different base style, this one will not seat correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlso verify system voltage. This is a 12V bulb and should not be installed on a 24V circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and replacement\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eTurn off the light circuit at the switch or breaker and let the old bulb cool before handling. Remove the lens, press the bulb gently toward one spring contact, and lift the opposite end out of the holder. When installing the new bulb, make sure it is centered and that both end caps are firmly captured so it cannot rattle loose under vibration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eOn-board use notes\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bulb suits boat owners maintaining existing incandescent fixtures in cabins, companionways, lockers, and other small interior locations where the fixture is labeled for a 31 mm festoon lamp. It is also a sensible spare to keep onboard when multiple fixtures share the same bulb size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eMaintenance and care\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep the contacts clean and free of green corrosion so the bulb does not run hot at the connection. If a light flickers underway, check for weak spring tension in the holder and for pitted contacts, then address the fixture before blaming the bulb.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hella Marine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52269079724213,"sku":"QBP480023","price":472.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1298384_qbp480023.jpg?v=1771541744","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp480023","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
