Colour Temperature

Colour temperature is measured in Kelvin (K) – the lower the number, the warmer the white light appears, while a higher Kelvin will appear cooler. Colour temperature generally ranges from 2700-3300K (warm) to 3300-5300 (cool) – and 6500K is daylight.

Equivalent Wattages Between Different Light Bulbs

As long as the technology developed, a LED light bulb can only use 8 watt power but light up similar brightness when a incandescent light bulb uses 60 watt power. There is equivalent wattage between different light bulbs. To stop making confuse, you need to know what wattage equivalent to each other. See the table attached as below.

⚠️ Important: This is a 12V low voltage bulb and requires a compatible 12V transformer or power supply. It will not work with standard 240V mains voltage.

The OSRAM 6418 C5W is a clear incandescent festoon bulb with metal contacts at both ends and a visible central filament. It is intended for compatible automotive lamp holders and is rated 12V and 5W with SV8.5-8 end caps.

The overall length is 36mm. Match the original bulb's designation, end-cap shape, length, voltage and wattage before purchasing; a similar-looking festoon bulb is not automatically interchangeable. Typical applications include number plate, position, interior and reading lights, but suitability depends on the vehicle and lamp assembly. For vehicle use, the compatible 12V electrical circuit provides the supply; a separate mains transformer is not normally part of the vehicle installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this OSRAM 6418 festoon bulb be dimmed?

Dimming compatibility is not confirmed by the supplied packaging or existing specifications. Use it only with a vehicle lighting circuit or control specified as compatible with a 12V 5W incandescent C5W bulb. Do not connect it to a household mains dimmer or directly to 240V. Any dimming or fade function depends on the vehicle's control system.

Will this 36mm C5W bulb fit my number plate or interior light?

Check your vehicle handbook or original bulb for the 6418 / C5W specification, 12V 5W rating, SV8.5-8 end caps and a matching overall length. This listing gives 36mm, which should be checked against the holder and original bulb. Number plate, position, interior and reading lamps are possible applications only where the vehicle specifies this bulb. It is not a universal fit and is not suitable for a 24V circuit. Switch off the circuit and let the lamp cool before replacement.

Is the OSRAM 6418 an LED or a traditional festoon bulb?

This is a traditional 5W incandescent C5W festoon bulb, not an LED. The clear glass body contains a visible filament and has a metal contact at each end. The packaging confirms the OSRAM 6418 reference, 12V 5W rating and SV8.5-8 caps. Exact light output, colour temperature, rated life and vehicle-specific compatibility are not established by these images.
