Stanley Light bulb..

(1/3) > >>

Lobo:
Morn all,

The low beam has given up the ghost, and so I’m on the prowl for a replacement Stanley bulb... 45/50W or so from memory.

I’ve just been on eBay... but no luck, my particular bulb terminals are 3 spades... making 3 sides of a square so-to-speak. The bulb itself has a large circular flange - about 35mm dia I guess - over which a large plastic clamp screws down to capture it into the bowl.

Sorry, no pic, so you got the 1000 words. Anyways... any clue where to find one?
Ta,
Simon

Or a spare glow worm  ;) take the opportunity to put something better in there especially if you use it at night  ;D

I fitted a Superdream headlamp unit, it has a 55/60W Halogen H4 bulb which is a lot brighter and easy to find a replacement bulb. It's almost a straight swap apart from having to alter the bullet connectors.  You also need to uprate the main fuse to 20A, otherwise it'll blow with the headlamp on, braking and signalling at the same time, unless you use a relay.

That is excellent advice, it has just made me realise why my 15A blows every now and then, I have an H4 bulb in my 500/4.  Recently, due to a corroded reflector shell I have been running an old sealed beam car headlamp and the 15A fuse hasn't blown.  Thank you so much, dip beam has now gone on my lamp and just about to change to a Land Rover H4 headlamp so will upgrade the fuse at the same time.
