Bulb C5W 12V SV8.5, aftermarket

For the lamps of JCB and other construction machines: bulb C5W 12V, an aftermarket part.

C5W is a 5 W cylindrical (festoon) bulb with SV8.5 caps at both ends, used in number plate lamps and cab interior lights. It sits between two spring contacts, and if they are loose the bulb can lose contact through vibration. The bulb voltage must match the machine's electrical system: a 12 V bulb blows at once on 24 V, and a 24 V bulb glows very dimly on 12 V. The bulb is chosen by its standard designation: type, voltage, wattage and base. The bulb comes new.

Fitting

Before changing the bulb, switch off the circuit and let the lamp cool. Push the bulb fully into its holder, and never touch the glass of halogen bulbs with bare hands. After the change, switch the lamp on to check it works and that the lamp body seal is in place.
