I took it as an experiment, now I don't even know how relevant it is...

24 December 2024

Yes, for the dimensions it's somewhat expensive, but I decided a bit differently, I installed it as lighting in the glove compartment. I bought it in 2020 at the AvtoTekhniks warehouse when I worked with them; it cost me about 40 hryvnias at the time. The bulb in the glove compartment had burned out, and I wanted to install something better than the standard yellow lamp. I could have installed an LED, but I felt reluctant then. At that time, they cost, if you took a good brand, about 5-6 times more than this lamp. The lamp was delivered to me simply in a bag; they likely come in boxes of 10, like standard Osram W5W lamps.

The lamp itself is as ordinary as can be. It's almost a standard lamp, except the top isn't rounded but has this... this... sort of cap? And the lamp is probably treated with something inside to give it that blue hue, which compensates for the yellow color and makes it whiter. It's an old idea commonly found in cars, especially old ones. They make bulbs all of one color, and with the help of filters, change the color temperature.

But the result is quite satisfactory to me, although now I already have an LED lamp in the glove compartment in my car.

The color temperature changed from a hot yellow to a warm white.
An ordinary lamp, it will not show any errors like LEDs.

Price. Even in 2020, it was more expensive than a regular W5W bulb; now it's better to get LED bulbs, they're more reliable, consume less energy, and shine much better.
I received it without a box or even a blister.
