Lf: 120v lamps

[Skeleton Man]

I'm looking for 120V S6 lamps with D.C. Bayonet connection (ie. they clip in, not screw in like a candelabra base)

The only place I can find locally that sells them, wants $4 +tax each ! (yet the screw in type is sold by just about any hardware store for about $1 each)

If anyone has 5 or 6 of these they can spare, I'll take em.. I'm willing to pay up to $2.50 each, and 2nd hand is fine (long as they work I don't care)

Yes.. it would cost me around $3.50 each for the bulbs, and $12.50 for shipping..  I'm in Canada, hence anything in $USD is multiplied by 1.25..

Hey Skel- is the base the same size as and automotive tail light?  Is there an actual bulb number?  Next time I'm at Menards I can take a look.

Thanks.. and yes, same as automotive bulb (just 120V)...  part number will be something like 6S6DC/145V (S6 shape, D.C. base, 145V)..

Went to Menards today.  The only thing that they had like that was a T7 type.  This type has a longer bulb part - I would say a little under twice as long (glass part).  They are 15 watt and run $1.50 each.  They said on the package that they are appliance lights.

Thanks for looking dr..  15W is about 3x brighter than I need, and I'm not sure T7 would fit..
