25 Volt Lamp Supplier

[Mikes]

Has anyone a source of 25 Volt lamps for the low voltage machine lamps. The ones I need have a standard bayonet fitting. Ideally as high a wattage as possible. My searches all end up with 25 Watt, 230 Volts!

These are LED and supposedly 35W equivalent.

They're for dc by the looks of the advert, isn't lovo 25v ac?

Ah, could be.

Low voltage is 1000vac/ 1500vdc
SELV is less than 50vac

You need wattage and voltage

Yes I sourced 12-24v..I think they were AC as well as DC, bayonet, will post details this evening

Makes me laugh when people talk about high voltage (HV) and they mean 240v

I cant buy any bayonet fitting or bulbs here, getting the conversion kits so that screw on bulbs will fit.......
24v bulbs from a truck source is the way to go...just change the bulb holders for the auto type.....

Bridge rectifier and electrolytic capacitor and away to go. Overvoltage might be an issue though, but worth a try.

Thanks for the link. There's me thinking they would be about £3 each! Suppose limited market.

They can be less but I dont know what you would be getting in terms of quality.

Assuming the AC supply is 24V RMS, full wave bridge rectified and smoothed will be about 24√2 - 2*0.6

They're expensive, but they seem to last for decades unless something catastrophic happens to them. I bought 2 to populate a missing one in a machine cabinet where it gets hit by swarf and suds and I've still got the spare one and the original is still going.

The ones I bought look to be AC12V, DC12-24V...
