Key Features and Benefits of This Miniature Festoon Bulb

The clear finish and 360-degree beam angle spread light in all directions from the lamp. The compact body, about 1.72 inches long and 0.41 inches wide, fits small fixtures with limited space. The bulb is RoHS compliant, meaning it meets limits on certain restricted substances.

Where to Use the VG100 Miniature Festoon Bulb

This bulb is intended as a replacement in fixtures that use a 24-volt, SV8.5-8 festoon-base miniature lamp. The product page does not list a location rating, so follow the fixture manufacturer's guidance on whether indoor, damp, or outdoor use is permitted.

Installation and Compatibility Checks

Before purchasing, match the 24-volt rating, 5-watt load, and SV8.5-8 base to your existing lamp. Check that the overall length of about 1.72 inches fits your fixture. Dimming compatibility is not listed, so confirm it with the fixture or control manufacturer if you use a dimmer.

Additional Buying Context

The average rated life is 200 hours, which is short compared with LED alternatives, so keep spares on hand if the lamp is in frequent use. A specification sheet is linked on the product page for further details.
