Hi, I need to replace this lightbulb, but I'm not able to read the number on bulb. I think it might say 2410 on one side on A6X on the other. Can you suggest how I can figure this out? Thank you
If it says use 24v bulbs then that's what you need to use.
The wattage is pretty much fixed at 5 watts with those bulbs.
Go to the 1000 lights link and look down at the bottom.
You'll see clear or frosted 5w 24v lamps.
What is the application and what is the voltage ?
The bulb group name is rigid loop base.
For the most part they are low voltage bulbs.
Some older cars used them as dome light bulbs.
Thank you, The system is Ambience by Sea Gull Lighting. It has a printing that says "do not use 12v lamp on 24v system". Does that mean I need to use a 24v bulb but i can use any wattage?

I was perusing around and found some info at the depot...... Sea Gull lighting bulbs
Apparently they carry 10w 24v bulbs.
So now you have a problem..... use 5 or 10 watt bulbs.
The bulb wattage depends on the quantity of fixtures and the wattage printed on the transformer.
It's not about them being too bright. Your transformer will have a rating on it. For example it might be 24v @ 50 watts. That would mean you could connect 50 watts of lighting.
The wattage listed is the maximum you can connect.
If you connect over that you risk blowing out the transformer.
My house was built in the 1930s and has some electrical issues. Someday I will overhaul all the wiring, when I can afford to. In the meantime though I'd like to be able to solve a couple of small problems.
One issue is a couple of the ceiling light fixtures keep causing new light bulbs to burn out. Sometimes it happens immediately, other times it takes a few times turning the light on and off. All the fixtures worked fine for years then suddenly there are these problems. Also some of the wall sockets will cause anything plugged into them to fry, or plugging something into them causes the outlet itself to stop working.
My question is what causes these things to happen? I remember one time before I moved into the house, when it was rented to someone else but I owned it, a wall outlet went bad. A friend fixed it for me while I watched. I don't remember what he did, but I know it didn't take long and was pretty simple. Too bad that friend is no longer with us, so I can't ask him. Thanks for any help.
I have an old bathroom exhaust fan that the motor is starting to die. I don't know the make, but the model number is 8663 MN which is stamped on the outside of the chrome vent cover. The cover is about 10" in diameter. After I took off the cover and exposed the motor, just under the motor was another part number (see attached photo)
I would love to just replace the motor.
Thanks for your help
