Drill Press Light Bulb

[weirdjim]

I've searched all my resources and I can't find this bulb anywhere. It is out of a Harbor Freight bench mount drill press that doesn't have a model number that I can find. It is a 110v 5w 15mm bayonet base double contact.

I'd IDEALLY like to replace it with an LED, but this incandescent bulb has lasted 25 years and I don't think I'll last another 25, so incandescent will do. Any suggestions?

Probably a reach but you might call these folk. I've found lights at this place that you don't see anywhere else. I'd say it's worth a call

Looks like the same lights as the courtesy lights under my 180 wings. It looks like a GE94 bulb. I switched to LED and ordered this one:

Edit: Any BA15D base bulb should work as in the post below mine or this one above.

You've got a 110 vac C-180?

Hmm my attention to detail sure seems to be lacking. Anyway - it looks like a BA15D bulb base.

 

[weirdjim]

aHA, so BA15D is the base style. That's good info, and a google search showed up that there are dozens of suppliers. Evidently this is a standard sewing machine bulb in a lot of the "offshore" machines on the market. Lots of LED replacements also. Thanks for the info.

This LED lamp from Mcmaster looks like it may be the correct one: https://www.mcmaster.com/#8620k1/=1dq3l7k

While digging through my light bulb bin I came across this...

I have no idea where I got it or for what purpose.

I found an infinite source. Almost all Chinglish sewing machines use this bulb. Want a million more?

Thanks,

Looks like a old car bulb.

Ah, the 115 volt option found on a handful of postwar Chevies. That starter sure could crank over the engine on cold mornings. Though the battery was expensive to replace.

Looks just like the bulb I replaced from my overhead light with the red lens. Cherokee 140

Jim, I assume the drill press would be used in the hangar for the plane? Hope you bought a certified bulb for drilling certified holes.
