I have a bulb which I use in a 6v lantern that outshines all other bulbs I've tried with the same v/a ratings. I hoping someone will recognize the markings on it and let me know who makes it and where I can get one. The markings are as follows: LK13 4.8V 0.6A KP
The part in question is the LK13. Based on the volt and amp rating this is someones version of a KPR113. hence the similarity in the name K13.
Oh by the way, the bulb has a sort of swirl or dimple effect within the glass completely around the lower 1/3 of it.
I think it's a great bulb, but if anyone can tell me of any other bulb that would be great for a 6v light please do.
I often overdrive KPR103 or XPR103 Radio Shack bulbs in my 6v lights. This LK13 almost rivals them. So I'd love to find a 3-cell bulb from this manufacturer and overdrive it.
I've seen names mentioned on this forum like Welch Allyn and Carley. Do they make great bulbs? I guess there has to be good and bad bulb manufacturers out there. I'd love to hear some feedback from anyone who knows.
Thanks--
