T-WAY AutoDuals 36SMD-LED 3D 41mm Festoon Light Bulb, White

The T-WAY AutoDuals 36SMD-LED 3D 41mm festoon light bulb is a high-performance LED lighting solution engineered for automotive interior and license plate illumination. Utilizing a 3D configuration with 36 SMD LEDs, this bulb delivers bright, consistent, and uniform white light, significantly improving visibility compared to standard halogen bulbs. Designed for durability and energy efficiency, it serves as a reliable upgrade for vehicle lighting systems requiring a 41mm festoon base.

Advantages

This LED bulb offers superior energy efficiency by consuming significantly less power while providing a high luminous flux of 360 lumens. The 3D arrangement of the 36 SMD LEDs ensures a wide beam angle and even light distribution, eliminating dark spots in the illuminated area. Its robust construction and long operational lifespan make it a cost-effective choice for drivers looking to reduce maintenance frequency. Furthermore, the crisp white light enhances the modern aesthetic of the vehicle interior.

Suitable for

• Vehicle interior cabin lighting
• License plate illumination
• Glove box and trunk lighting
• Footwell lighting

When it may not be suitable

This bulb is designed for 12V electrical systems and is not compatible with 24V heavy-duty vehicle systems. Additionally, it may not be suitable for vehicles equipped with sensitive CANbus monitoring systems without the use of an external load resistor, as the low power consumption might trigger a bulb-out warning on the dashboard.

Key specifications

• Voltage: 12 V
• Power: 15 W
• Luminous flux: 360 lm (± 15%)
• Socket type: SV8.5-8
• Length: 41 mm
• Light color: White
• Technology: 36 SMD LED 3D

How to use

Installation is straightforward and follows the standard procedure for festoon bulbs. Ensure the vehicle ignition is switched off and the light switch is in the off position before beginning. Carefully remove the existing bulb from the socket, taking care as it may be hot if recently used. Insert the T-WAY AutoDuals bulb into the SV8.5-8 socket, ensuring it is securely seated. Once installed, test the light by turning on the corresponding switch to verify proper operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your vehicle requires a 41mm festoon bulb size.
• Check if your vehicle's lighting system requires CANbus error-free bulbs.
• Ensure the installation space is sufficient for the bulb dimensions.
• Confirm your vehicle operates on a 12V electrical system.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and longevity, avoid touching the LED chips directly with bare fingers during installation, as oils from the skin can affect the surface. If the bulb does not illuminate after installation, remove it, rotate it 180 degrees, and reinsert it, as some LED bulbs are polarity-sensitive.
