12v 5w torpedo bulb – code: 14.400.02 – Osculati

Torpedo bulb 12 V 5 W Osculati – code 14.400.02

The torpedo bulb Osculati is a spare part solution designed for common onboard lighting and signaling applications. This model is identified by the supplier code 14.400.02 and is intended for systems at 12 V with power 5 W, in the classic “torpedo” format used on many ceiling lights, lamps and indicators.

In the nautical field, having the correct bulb for voltage, power, and size is essential for a quick replacement without modifications. This bulb is designed precisely for those looking for a replacement consistent with the existing installation, maintaining the traditional torpedo shape.

Product features and details

• Type: torpedo bulb
• Nominal voltage: 12 V
• Power: 5 W
• Length (L): 31 mm
• Diameter (Ø): 8 mm
• Supplier: Osculati S.r.l.
• Supplier product code: 14.400.02

The torpedo format is commonly used in compact lighting fixtures, where space is limited and access to the bulb is through a diffuser or cover. For a correct choice, besides voltage and power, it is important to also check length and diameter of the installed bulb.

Compatibility and checks before purchase

To avoid errors during replacement, it is recommended to compare:

• : must match the onboard voltage, otherwise it cannot be installed. (12 V) with that required by the light point.
• Power (5 W) with the removed bulb, to maintain the usage conditions expected by the lighting fixture.
• Dimensions (31 mm length and 8 mm diameter) with the available housing.
• Format torpedo, typical of lamps with contacts at the ends.

If the lighting fixture requires a torpedo-shaped bulb with different measurements, it is preferable to choose a model with corresponding dimensions to ensure correct installation.

Typical onboard applications

This bulb is indicated as a replacement for common uses in the nautical field, where there are light points or indicators that use torpedo-shaped lamps. In particular, it can be used for:

• Common lamps installed in cabins, technical rooms, or service areas (depending on the lamp holder present).
• Ceiling lights and compact lighting fixtures that adopt the torpedo format.
• Indicators and service lights where the use of traditional 12 V bulbs is expected.

The actual applications depend on the type of lamp holder and the installed lighting fixture. In case of doubt, it is advisable to check the existing bulb or the component documentation.

Advantages for maintenance and spare parts

In the context of onboard maintenance, the availability of correct and easily identifiable spare parts helps reduce downtime and quickly restore lighting. This torpedo bulb offers practical advantages mainly related to its clear identification and widespread format:

• Targeted replacement: 12 V voltage and 5 W power for replacements consistent with the system.
• Standard torpedo format: suitable for many ceiling lights and indicators that use contacts at the ends.
• Compact dimensions: useful in lighting fixtures with limited space (always check the measurements).
• Simple identification: Osculati code 14.400.02 for orderly management of spare parts.

Use, replacement and notes

Replacing a torpedo bulb is generally a simple operation, but it is good practice to follow some operational guidelines to work safely and preserve the lighting fixture:

• Disconnect the circuit before working on the light point.
• Open the diffuser or the cover of the ceiling light/indicator according to the methods provided by the lighting fixture manufacturer.
• Remove the existing bulb and compare voltage, power, and dimensions with the replacement.
• Insert the torpedo bulb ensuring it is correctly seated on the contacts at the ends.
• Close the cover and restore power to verify operation.

Important notes

• Using a bulb with voltage and power correct help maintain the usage conditions expected by the lighting fixture.
• The dimensions (31 mm x 8 mm) are decisive: even small differences can prevent installation or compromise the contact.
• For efficient management of spare parts onboard, it is useful to note the product code 14.400.02 together with the reference light point.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

Is this bulb suitable for 24 V systems?

No. This model is intended for 12 V systems. For a 24 V system, it is necessary to choose a bulb with a nominal voltage of 24 V.

Where is a torpedo bulb like this used?

It is a typical spare part for common lamps, ceiling lights, and indicators that use the torpedo format with contacts at the ends. Compatibility depends on the lamp holder and the required dimensions.

Which dimensions should I check before purchase?

Besides voltage (12 V) and power (5 W), check the bulb dimensions: length 31 mm and diameter 8 mm, comparing them with the installed one.

What is the reference Osculati code?

The supplier product code is 14.400.02. It is useful for precisely identifying the spare part when reordering.

Can I replace it myself?

Generally yes, if you have access to the lighting fixture. It is advisable to disconnect the circuit before replacement and ensure the bulb is properly seated on the contacts.
