GE 28160 Low Voltage Discharge Lamp

The GE 28160 is an 8 W T5 discharge bulb with a miniature pinless base. It delivers 445 lumens and is rated for 7500 hours of operation. Designed for low voltage systems, it serves as a direct replacement for 5008 CW type lamps in aircraft and automotive applications.

Aviation and low voltage automotive lighting

This bulb suits maintenance crews replacing 5008 CW lamps in aircraft panels or specialised low voltage automotive fixtures. It is not for buyers needing standard household screw or bayonet bases. It is also not for installations requiring higher lumen output or different colour temperatures than the 5008 CW specification provides.

Miniature pinless base format

The pinless miniature base determines whether this lamp fits the target socket. Verify the fixture accepts a T5 pinless base before purchase, as this bulb will not seat in sockets designed for bi-pin or wedge bases.

Questions about this item

How long will the 8 W GE 28160 5008CW T5 last under continuous operation before its output drops to the rated maintenance level?

The lamp is rated for 7500 hours of life at 8 watts; running it non-stop will reach that point after 7500 hours of use.

What heat or noise should I expect when the 8 W GE 28160 5008CW T5 runs all day in an enclosed fixture?

The 8 watt discharge design produces modest heat and no fan noise; ensure the fixture allows normal convection cooling around the miniature pinless base.

What voltage source and socket type must I already have to install the GE 28160 5008CW T5 bulb?

You need a low-voltage supply matching the 5008 CW rating and a compatible miniature pinless base socket for this T5 discharge lamp.
