The 4 grain of wheat lamps in our 1980s era Aero-Lite street address with 3 inch letters sign powered by a standard doorbell transformer had burned out.
The current replacement from the manufacturer is an easy to install bracket holding 2 automotive #193 lamps. However with these lamps, the fixture consumes 210 ma 24/7 and the illumination is uneven.
Using these LP-6 lamps, 2 sets of 2 in series, the fixture is very close to the original grain of wheat lamps in evenly distributed comparable brightness, and the fixture only comsumes 80ma.
When I ordered these LP-6 from AllElectronics, I also ordered the LP-23, LP-110, LP-28, and LED-12W with AC to DC components.
LP-6 appears to be the best choice for ease of installation (long insulated leads), smooth even brightness (matches original) and power consumption.
Great lamps for an HO scale model train set. The 14V is great, because the train/hobby transformer spits out 14.5VAC. Great Stuff, and much cheaper than hobbyist-band-name lamps.
