Obsolete Lamps

Your post is too confusing. Can you extract the basic data and represent this?

Yes, once I looked at it again I can see why it looked confusing.

It is basically a 95 watt, 12 volt DC lamp that supplys 1200 lumens, 2 pin T3. I have found some 'similar' on the net however, the bulb I need has the filament parallel to the sides. The ones I've found on the net have the filament at 90 degrees to the sides. It makes a difference to how the light eners the aperture. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

I tried searching the globalspec search engine, and didn't find much. You should give it a shot, you might be able to find something.

You could try calling some of the halogen bulb manufacturers describing what you need, they might have something close enough. It seems to be a very obscure bulb type.

Good luck,

Nick

Can you throw some more light on this question I am in the dark. Your post is a bit messed up. Are these 12.0V DC/AC bi-pin types 95Watts? T3 bi-pin? I guess with all the anti filament lamp lobby these may no longer exist. have you looked in google?

I was only able to find 75 watt T3 C8 bulbs. I imagine it's hard to find 95 watt bulbs because of the energy being dissipated on such a tiny bulb. It always amazed me how hot 20 watt bulbs of that size get. Even with 20 watt ones, you can burn stuff/melt plastic surprisingly easy. If you find a company like the link I provided, they may not have an online shopping cart, but you can usually call and ask for a sample pack of however many you need. They will usually take a credit card over the phone or something.

Lots of lighting fixtures still use bulbs like that. You could probably even take it to Radio Shack and get them (probably expensive though). Most home improvement stores would have bulbs of that sort, and if not, they could probably find them for you.

Like Brainwave said, you put a lot of useless information in your post. All you needed to say was T-3, C-8, and 12V and that's usually enough info to figure out what bulb you need. Just google that like I did, and you will probably find something close enough.

Hi there I looked at all the types and like you only found up to 75W available. Maybe the manufacturer found they were a liability. Burned out to quickly or set fire to things.
