Thanks Bruce!

Code: [Select]
E10 Base Bulbs

BULB  VOLTAGE  AMPS    WATTS

#14    2.47V    .30A    .741W    Standard for Jensen #15
#131  1.30V    .10A    .130W    Low HP motor & Jensen #15
#502  5.10V    .15A    .765W    Stepper-motor Generator
#359  1.35V    .06A    .081W    Low HP motor & Jensen #15
#222  2.25V    .25A    .563W    Focused-beam for Jensen #15
#352x  3.00V    .07A    .210W    Standard for Jensen #15E

With half the voltage (and watts) of a #14 these should work well with most gen/engine combos. Usually I use a #131 with small engines, but they are really easy to pop if you get too heavy-handed with the throttle.

Have several boxes on order!
I hope they work well for you; these can pop with a heavy throttle hand just like any light bulb, but seem to light quicker & needing less RPM. but these are the large globe which I have found looks really good & are similar to the vintage Jensen bulb of old.
