Aircraft Halogen Bulb 12V 55W

This Ushio halogen bulb delivers 950 lumens at 12 volts and 55 watts with a rated life of 2000 hours. It uses a flat terminal base and single-ended design for direct fitment. The colour rendering index of 99 provides accurate colour representation for aviation and specialist lighting tasks.

Flat Terminal Interface Limits

The flat terminal base requires a matching socket with secure contact pressure to prevent arcing or overheating. Voltage must remain at 12 volts; higher system voltage will reduce the 2000-hour rating significantly. The single-ended construction means heat dissipates through the base, so the fixture must allow adequate airflow around the terminals.

Pre-Installation Checks

Verify that your fixture accepts a flat terminal H-3 bulb and supplies a stable 12-volt feed before ordering. Confirm the physical envelope clears any lens or reflector housing in your application. Ensure the wiring and connector are rated for 55 watts continuous load to avoid voltage drop or connector damage.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 12 V 55 W version or a different wattage for my H-3 fitting?

The bulb is a 12 V 55 W H-3 type with flat terminals; select it only if your fixture specifies exactly 55 watts at 12 volts.

What does the 950 lm rating deliver once the bulb is installed?

You get 950 lumens of light output with a colour rendering index of 99, giving near-natural colour accuracy for the rated 2 000-hour life.

How does the flat-terminal base limit compatibility with standard H-3 sockets?

The flat terminal base is a single-ended design; it fits only H-3 housings wired for flat terminals, not the more common blade or pin bases.
