5V 5W Bipin bulbs, anyone?

[yellow]

Edit: just learned, that these are
IR bulbs ❗
They give only a red/purple "glow" in visible.



recently found these,
after switching the machine to led - no longer in need
(unfortunately not too powerful - I had hoped they were "stronger")

anyone has a use for these?
if yes, send me a Pm w. adress, please
(if several, I will split)

Is the title supposed to be "5V 5W" or "5W 5W"? I guess I'm curious about voltage/rated lamp life at spec

Corrected, it should be
5 V, 5 W

... No clue of life expectancy,
in the original application, changing is supposed to be done waaaayyyy before they would
That is for unicorn illumination conditions.

But we, of course, changed when one of the 24 bulbs did die



Doh,
trying to get runtime Info, I learned, that these are
IR bulbs
... they only give a slightly visible red/purple glow

Thank you!
I wonder if they would perform well over-driven?

Man,
normal looking bulbs, that are planned to mostly give infrared (IR) output.

Who would have known such is even produced?

I have no equipment anymore, could one of You please be so kind to fire one up and post a picture?
Very interested in it.


But there is also good news:
searching for something to wrap them
I found it again:

THE HOLY GRAIL !!!

bipin bulb,
7.2 Volt
2,6 Amps
15 Watt

these now give visible light, btw.
I remember it was a real pita, to geht them, back in the days.
Planned for 6 battery cells (2 * SureFire Battery stick),
so today possibly (much better) with 2 * Li-ion in series
.. the modded light looong gone, but these remained somehow.

--> same as with the above ... when interested, pls PM me the shipping adress,
if several requests, I then split accordingly

PS: also pls post a pic of the modded light, fired up.

Would have been nice to test these on my setup.
