Lamp 3V - Electricity Kit Bulb

This 3V bulb is a small E10 screw-in lamp for school electricity kits and science projects. It's rated at 3.0V and 0.3A, so two 1.5V cells in series will light it, which makes it a good fit for simple circuit boards and classroom experiments.

It has a Miniature Edison Screw (MES) base, where E10 means the screw base is 10mm across, and it fits a standard MES E10 bulb holder. Keep it to its rated voltage. Too much voltage burns the filament out, and too little and the bulb won't light properly.

It's an incandescent filament lamp in a clear glass bulb, easy to screw in and take out. Filament lamps give their best performance and longest life when they run at their rated voltage from a stabilised 50Hz AC supply, at 20°C to 25°C, with no mechanical vibration.
