hi all
just taken a blowen bulb out of the tintent , it looks like a 501 , but with two prongs sticking out from the contacts
any help with this as i have traid to look it up but there is no number on it and wish to replace with a led type as it saves on battery drain and heat
thanks TDV6 5 SEAT BASE NO GIMMICKS NO FUSS

If its the same as my Elddis, its the one in the middle in the picture. They are pennies for a pack in B&Q but make sure you get the 10 watt version. 20watt will melt the light. How do I know that???? Silver TDV6 HSE

thats them !!!!!
the g4 seems most like it , now is there a led replacement ?
because as gareth said they do get very hot and even 10watts is a lot to use when on battery
i have changed most of the lounge ones from the yellowy type and it does make a diffrence TDV6 5 SEAT BASE NO GIMMICKS NO FUSS

i have fitted 2 of these in my tintent and they are very good for light and very very very good for the battery i calculate i can run approx 8/10 of these for the consumption of just one ordinary halogen bulb, like you said a tad expensive but last longer than the ordinary bulb. Tintenter

Kevi -- If you want to replace the G4 capsule with LED what you need is a 'vertical' fitting lamp, not the horizontal type indicated above. I've looked at these for my van and these http://www.ultraleds.co.uk/ultimate-with-l...-1673.html will fit in my lampholder/fitment
Bit more expensive than the standard 10w G4 halogen capsule tho ...
