Review on EIKO 1157 12.8V and 14v DC Bayonet Base Turn Signal Brake Light Bulb (10-Pack) - Efficient Miniature Indicator Lamp by Jesse Stewart

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Used to reduce current.

Special project with DC solenoids. A lamp connected in series provides a pulsed current to turn on the solenoid. As the filament heats up, the resistance increases, which reduces the holding current in the windings. This reduces heat and extends the life of the solenoid.

Pros
  • Lighting and lighting accessories
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
