1892, 1893,1895 bulbs

Is there really any difference in these bulbs?

My radio has a 1893, but my heater control illumination bulb is currently a 1892.

 

#1892 tubular, current draw .12A & rated ¾ CP(candle power). Life expectancy 1000 Hrs.

#1893 also tubular, current draw .33A & rated 2 CP. Life expectancy 7500 Hrs. Heavy Duty

#1895 round glass bulb, draws .27A, rated 2 CP. Life expectancy 2000 Hrs.

Extra Credit
#1891 tubular, .24A , rated 2 CP. Life expectancy 500 Hrs.

 

Wow. Great info Krazy. I take it they all have the same two prong mount?

 

Yup, bases are all same.

Of course mostly these were replaced by wedge based #161, 194, etc., was already happening in the printed circuit clusters.

 

Found the 1893’s.

 

I’ve since noticed the correct bulb for the heat control illumination light was supposed to be a 1445 rated as 0.135 A and 0.7 CP. There was an 1892 bulb in its place. No big difference.

 

For what it’s worth I now have all the bulbs to replace everything inside the dash. I have an 1893 for the radio, 1445’s for the heater control illumination, ash tray light, (which I have to check), and auto transmission quadrant, an 1816 for the headlight / wiper control, and glovebox light ( another one I have to confirm). I also have 10 LED’s for the the speedometer cluster.
