Lionel OO 5342 Headlamp Bulb

Jim Cummings:
Sorry for being away so long.  It's Spring here and lawns and shrubs need attention as does planning and getting the garden ready.

Thank you for the picture reference.  The 616-13 12V clear screw base is the one.  An alternative would be a 1446 12V or if you want something a little brighter, you could use a 1449 14V clear bulb.

Again, thanks for the help.

The 14v bulb would burn less-bright at the same voltage as the 12v. bulb, but will take more voltage before it burns out. The higher the voltage rating on the bulb, the dimmer it will be at like voltage. Bulbs can usually take more voltage than their rating, but not for extended periods. I have learned to only use 18V bulbs in 022 and other switches, to avoid melting the plastic switch caps.
