#51 6 bulb source? UPDATE
I need a 6 volt miniature bayonet #51 bulb for my Signal Stat 900 directional light system. Does anyone know a bricks and mortar store that sells these bulbs?
Thanks! Dave See #13 for update. Last edited by Pilotdave; 05-03-2016 at 04:09 PM. |

Around my area we have a store called Battery Plus. They're a chain store. They carry a larg assortment of light bulbs. Check to see if you have one in your area. And give them a try.

Re: #51 6 bulb source?
Thanks for all the replies! I'll start with NAPA in the morning.
The back story: after trying a variety of things to get the indicator lights in the Signal Stat to light up, I finally took it apart and found........no bulb! Dave |

How/why does a bulb know which side is ground? I have never tried to put hot to ground and vice versa but I would THINK a simple bulb should work. No? |

Re: #51 6 bulb source?
Regular bulbs don't care about polarity, but LED needs the current to flow the correct direction.
