Light bulbs

[Jollyride]

Does anyone know if there is a generic light bulb that fits in most Delta, Monark, fender lights?

Looking to shed some light on the subject when it comes to resurrecting these lights.

Thank you and Happy Weekend!!!

This will brighten things up. https://www.amazon.com/Miniature-Fl...1&keywords=e10+led+bulb&qid=1601955831&sr=8-3

I also ordered some conventional bulbs from a hardware place but can't remember which one. I think the base is #10 but double check that. V/r Shawn

Freqman1,

Didn't stage my question so well. When I find the numbers and least expensive brand will post it as well.

Thank you for your service!!!

Out with the Old, in with the New. I prefer LED lighting over the dim-downed Edison type bulbs if your not worried about being Period-Correct Shinny.
Longer battery life with settings of High Med Low, Strobe, and SOS beacon.
Tried 3 different flashlights before deciding on the NEBO on sale for $10, whereas I was able to quickly make Hot_Glue molds to hold the light in place while prototyping. Simply cut the old rocker switch out, and utilize your Middle Finger to poke the sweet spot on/off.

I agree the old bulbs suck for seeing now days l.e.ds are so much better! I even love modding the oL'vintage stuff with new modern day life; Sure it's Not Period Correct but sometimes these oL'bikes Need to jus' Live to Ride Safely & well lit is a Must!

Btw repop light & brown paint faux rust/patina?

I think I may have seen you on RRB?

I agree with the LED lamps. I got 2 bare lamps from Amazon set up for 3V, E10 base, but ended up hardwiring them for 9V. Plenty bright for me.
Sorry, I don't have pics right now.

Thanks guys!!!

Just getting my feet wet with light resto. Yeah, need to make sure the old useable units work, especially if you are selling it on a bike howeva.....
A crusty unit updated to rechargeable led is a brilliant idea!
