Neptune Washer Tub Light Question

[keith]

No, you're correct. A C7 LED bulb at 30 lumens would put out less illumination than a C7 incandescent bulb at 43 lumens. However I've purchased 60 lumen C7 LED bulbs from amazon, these are much brighter and don't generate any heat compared to the C7 incandescent, and use 1 watt, which is far less than the 10 watts the wiring in the machine is able to handle. Brighter light for less energy use.

Thanks again Keith.  Glad I'm understanding things correctly. 

 

I'm still not into the habit of going directly to Amazon for everything.  I got my bulbs at ACE, which admittedly doesn't offer the widest range of options.  I was already there to pick up a 1" barbed elbow fitting to make modifications to my Maytag washer's drain hose, so I decided to grab bulbs too.

 

I'll check out Amazon and order accordingly.  Those 60 lumen LEDs sound like the perfect solution.
