Interior light upgrade

[John Sims]

In my never ending quest to ensure Beaky is all nice and lovely (good money after bad?) I have just upgraded the interior light for £1.69

In truth it was not so much an upgrade as a return to original specification. It transpires that the interior light is a 10w bulb and mine only had a 5w bulb in the fitting. No wonder it was gloomy.

I wonder how many more people only have 5w interior lights.

While on the subject, nobody has mentioned the bulb in the headlamp switch recently []

I tried to get the 968UK boys to bite on the headlamp switch bulb recently but they didn't go for it [] So, how much lighter is a 10w bulb? []

I'm note sure, as it is still light outside, but I would estimate 5.5w. [][][] I am assuming at least a .5w reduction through the reduced connection of the original shorter bulb. [8|]

Ah its bigger must be heavier then not lighter [&:]

How much does a watt weigh?

Damn! Why is it that every upgrade is a compromise? [] Perhaps I'll return the lighter small bulb for the summer when I don't need the light.

I'm assuming Fen has removed his interior lights completely.

It's going to be quite a lot as, if you compare a 50w Marshall head with a 100w Marshall head the latter is much heavier. When you think about these Chav Saxos with 1000w of ICE, I'm surprised they can muster sufficient power to move the things.

Actually I haven't (well, the glove box one is missing but that's more because the cab one was broken and the Turbo donated). They are quite useful so maybe I could just drill some holes in them to make them lighter []
