locodave Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Been looking for this bulb for a while now and I can't find one. It can't be the long parallel pins if you know what I mean. Needs to be the two circles. And around 35mm BA15D Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambrose607 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Quite a few BA15D globes on flea bay for caravans and boats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunnerparts Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 TU.2618 is 12V 5W TU.2640 is 12V 10W Tungsram Brand which are a good quality globe, in stock Note the connection point on the bottom is two epileptic contacts not two pin points, but that should not make a difference, the contact point is the same. This is bot the same in Osram and Tungsram. Osram no longer make them, so we only have 24V available in Osram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locodave Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 Yes but not with these double contacts. Ones on flebay are like: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locodave Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 If you look closely you will see it has a different base. I have a spare LED like the one above and that does not work no matter which way you place it in. WHen I place the original globe or another globe I have with the same base it works.

roadrunnerparts Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Its not the base thats your issue. LED is Light emitting DIODE.....diode is a one way valve, if positive to negative is not the correct way around an LED will not work. On a BA15D, power flows through one of the bottom pins, and out/return to negative through the other. Incandscent globes are not polarity sensitive, so does not matter which pin touches the base. Now the important question, are you trying to fit the LED in as a replacement? Possibilites whi it will not work Have you checked the LED ? does it work? It is also a possibility, that the side pins/vertical part of the base is either the negative or positive, and the pins on the bottom are the opposite. It is not the fact that the base is two epilitics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locodave Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 Hi Ian, I have two LED globes and I tried both. I have also switched them around as I know about the +ve and -ve on LEDs. For some reason it doesn't work. But it can't be that the pins are the opposite on the base, why would they do that if my other generic bulb works just as well?

batfishing Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Unless the pins are in the wrong spot to the contacts so there not touching. If the bottom contacts being longer were the issue, I would more expect a short across the terminals blowing a fuse. The LED lamp is 12V ? I presume? I would be extremely certain the issue is with the LED lamp. Where a outs are you located? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locodave Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 Ok, let me see if I can hold of another 12v bulb and test it. I am in Seven Hills. Thanks mate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locodave Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 Just an update. I bought a bulb with reversible polarity and it worked. But the globe is too tall, cant fit the anchor cap back on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Zod Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 (edited) Is that anchor light similar to this. Because if it is then I have a LED that will fit it. Edited July 3, 2015 by General Zod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
