Need help finding a general minature lamp(bulb)

[Cribbage]

Hey all; long time no see!

I need help finding a small light bulb for a household item my mom has.

The bulb is a #48, about 6V (the transformer that runs it is 5V), and it is a bayonet base. It is about the size of a small automotive bulb or a medium-large bulb from an old-fashioned flashlight.

Any good online dealers to go to that might have this?

I have tried a couple that came up in a google search, but one has a useless search function, and the other isn't much better.

Thanks for any help you can give.

You may want to try Radio Shack too.

had to actually call topbulb, as I couldn't find it on their site.

Lo and behold, it is not a standard bulb. It is one made just for that product, so you have to buy a new product when the bulb burns out.

The lady that helped my had the exact same problem with her item (like I said, it's my mom's; a make-up light). When teh lamp burns out, throw it out and buy a new one.

&!$#*&^&!!! Chinese crap!!!

I like that topbulb.com; Ill bookmark that one.

Thanks!
