Aircraft low-voltage discharge lamp

The GE 28163 is an 8 W T5 discharge bulb with a miniature pinless base, rated at 435 lumens. It is designed for aircraft and low-voltage automotive installations where the 5008 WW form factor is specified.

Sustained output over 7500 hours

The lamp maintains its rated lumen output across a 7500-hour service life without the rapid decay typical of short-burst testing. Steady low-voltage operation keeps temperature stable, so brightness remains consistent throughout extended duty cycles.

Pinless base simplifies replacement

The miniature pinless base allows direct insertion into compatible sockets without alignment pins, reducing maintenance time in tight avionics or automotive housings. Robust glass-to-metal seals resist vibration-induced leaks that can shorten lamp life in mobile environments.

Questions about this item

How much heat and power does the 8 W T5 discharge lamp produce during continuous operation?

The lamp draws 8 watts and produces 435 lumens; with a 7500-hour rated life it is designed for extended use in low-voltage aircraft and automotive fixtures.

What fixture or base does the 28163 lamp require to operate?

It uses a miniature pinless base, so the host fixture must accept a T5 pinless discharge bulb at the specified low voltage.

Will the 5008 WW lamp work alongside older halogen or incandescent bulbs in the same circuit?

The lamp is a low-voltage discharge type; mixing it with older halogen or incandescent bulbs on the same circuit is not recommended because their voltage and ballast requirements differ.
