 Re: Hard hat light bulb
I ordered mine at O'Reillys auto parts. I think it is GE #4508?

 Re: Hard hat light bulb
I dont remember the numbers on mine but just look at the back of the bulb. Locally where I bought my set up a replacement was 32 bucks. Half of the price of the light set up. I got 3 off of the internet with shipping for 32 bucks.

 Re: Hard hat light bulb
Some bulbs are more sensitive to voltage and, more importantly, current changes. When your battery gets low (putting out less than 12v) it takes more current to do the same job. More current creates more heat, more heat creates more failures... most any of them will last a LONG time with proper input voltage. Some may handle the lower voltage/higher current better than others...
My lights came from napa, believe they are ge. Ive never had one fail, but I usually only use them to get where I'm going and I keep my batteries fully charged. If you are using them all night for frogging and what not, you may look into running two or more batteries in parallel. Assuming both batts are the same, two would last twice as long before the voltage starts to drop. Bulbs will last a lot longer with a good power supply...

 Re: Hard hat light bulb
I do a good bit of frogging and run mine all night and have drained batteries doing it. No clue on hours but it's way more than 20-30

 Re: Hard hat light bulb
CB, I hook mine up to my 12v on my boat hooked to my cranking battery it stays charged with the motor running , when you put hard hours on cheap shit they don't last.
