FAQs
What voltage are these bulbs designed for?
These Connect Lucas Festoon Bulbs are specifically designed for 24-volt electrical systems.
What does SV8 base mean?
SV8 refers to the type of base on the bulb, which is a common size and style for festoon bulbs used in various automotive and industrial applications. It typically refers to the diameter of the glass envelope and the mounting.
Can I use these in a 12-volt system?
No, these bulbs are rated for 24 volts and will likely burn out very quickly, or fail immediately, if used in a 12-volt system. Using them in the incorrect voltage can also damage the electrical system.
What is the purpose of the OE260 code?
The OE260 code is an original equipment designation. It helps identify the specific application or vehicle model for which this bulb was intended as a direct replacement part.
How many bulbs are included in this set?
This set includes a total of 10 Connect Lucas Festoon Bulbs.
Are these bulbs dimmable?
These bulbs are designed for standard on/off lighting circuits. They are not typically designed for dimming applications unless the fixture and vehicle's electrical system specifically support dimmable incandescent bulbs of this type.
What is the lifespan of these bulbs?
The lifespan of incandescent bulbs varies greatly depending on usage conditions, voltage stability, and vibration. While designed for reliable performance, specific hours of life are not provided but can be expected to be consistent with standard automotive festoon bulbs.
Troubleshooting
Bulb does not light up
Ensure the bulb is fully seated in the socket. Verify that the vehicle/equipment's voltage is 24V and that the power supply is active. Check for any damage to the fixture or wiring.
Bulb flickers intermittently
Check for a loose connection at the bulb socket or wiring. Ensure the bulb is not vibrating excessively. The fixture might have a faulty component or the bulb may be nearing the end of its lifespan.
Incorrect fit in socket
Confirm that the socket is designed for an SV8 festoon bulb. The bulb may be slightly bent; gently attempt to realign the metal contacts if necessary, but avoid forcing it.
Bulb burns out quickly
Verify that the system voltage is stable and not exceeding 24V. Ensure the bulb is not in an application requiring higher wattage or a different type of bulb. Check for poor ventilation around the bulb.

Pros
- Convenient 10-piece pack for immediate use and spares.
- Designed for stable 24V systems.
- Reliable performance from the Lucas brand.
- Easy installation due to standard SV8 base.
- Cost-effective for bulk replacement needs.
Cons
- Only suitable for 24V systems; incompatible with 12V.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the power supply to the fixture is turned off before attempting to replace a bulb. Gently remove the old bulb by pulling it straight out of its socket. Insert the new Connect Lucas Festoon Bulb by pushing it firmly into the socket until it is securely seated. Turn the power back on to test.
Compatibility: These bulbs are specifically designed for 24-volt systems and feature an SV8 base. Verify that your vehicle or equipment uses a 24V electrical system and that the socket is compatible with an SV8 festoon bulb before purchasing. The OE260 code can help in matching specific original equipment part numbers.
Care: Handle bulbs by the base to avoid transferring oils from your fingers onto the glass, which can cause hotspots and reduce bulb life. Store unused bulbs in their original packaging in a cool, dry place. Regularly check lighting fixtures for signs of corrosion or damage that could affect bulb performance.
