Help me find a small light bulb....

haaammit · 30 Nov 2017 at 21:33

I have a very nice light "thing" in my living room, and it uses teeny, tiny bulbs. Any idea as to what they are called so I can order some new ones?

They are incandescent, are very small and have a tiny thread. Help would be gratefully received! Thanks!!

E14 edison screw? Will have to look up the dimensions though

E: ignore that, looking at the ruler properly

Looks like an oven bulb

For ruler scale wow. Nothing standardised in this country i don't think

What does the thread measure across?

Looks similar - dolls house bulbs

On closer look maybe not.

Must be on here though surely - http://cpc.farnell.com/c/electrical...-bulbs/miniature-sub-miniature-filament-bulbs

Looks like the same sort of base as you got with bulb holders in electronics kits years ago

JoJay · 1 Dec 2017 at 02:03

E10 Miniature Screw Base Bulb ?
The bulb looks older than that ruler, try an imperial measurement search.

And.... That link just shows an arbitrary oven bulb, my post was about having an oven in your living room. I want my 30 seconds back. :confused:

Post a picture of the light and particularly the socket that the lamp screws into. Are there any markings on either the lamp or the socket? Sometimes the markings are very faint on the glass, or even a code stamped on the threaded part, again could be small or very faint.

Does the light fitting have a code? Where did you buy it, is it foreign manufacture?

Give us something to work with!

That's a standard E5 fitting, also known as a Lilliput Edison Screw (LES).
