It’s the style used in many traditional navigation light and interior lamp fixtures that take spring-loaded festoon end caps.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a straightforward drop-in bulb for 24V DC onboard systems. Match the base style and overall length to your existing lamp, then you’re back to full function without changing the fixture or wiring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e24V, 10W incandescent festoon bulb (6429 type) for 24V DC electrical systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSV8.5-8 end-cap base with 11 x 41 mm overall size for common festoon holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClear bulb that outputs white light through your existing lens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo polarity concerns and no external driver or electronics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUseful spare to keep onboard for quick restoration of navigation or interior lighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eConfirm three things before ordering: system voltage (24V), festoon base style (SV8.5-8), and the physical size (11 x 41 mm). If your fixture is 12V, a 24V bulb will be noticeably dim, so voltage match matters just as much as length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFestoon holders vary by a few millimeters and by how the spring contacts grab the end caps. If your current lamp sits tightly between the contacts and clears the lens, this bulb is the right format.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eSwitch off power at the panel, let the existing bulb cool, then remove it by compressing one spring contact and lifting the bulb out. Seat the new bulb evenly between both end contacts so it can’t rattle loose in chop or vibration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn exterior fixtures, check that the lens and gasket are clean and seated after replacement so spray and washdowns stay out of the housing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bulb makes sense for boats running classic festoon-based navigation lights or interior lamps on 24V systems, where you want a direct replacement that keeps the original look and beam pattern through the fixture’s lens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eWhat’s included\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e1 x replacement bulb\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Hella Marine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51557418500342,"sku":"APL733779","price":0.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/6658\/2518\/files\/1280544_apl442181.jpg?v=1787841240","url":"https:\/\/www.apollolighting.com\/products\/apl733779","provider":"Apollo Lighting","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
