Know more about T10 LED Bulb.

Three basic types of mini wedge bulbs are commonly used in vehicles: T5, T10, and T15. The T5 is the smallest. The T10 bulb is a slightly larger version of the T5.

Both the T10 and T15 use the same socket, and the biggest difference between the two is the size of the bulb. T10 LED bulbs are 0.8 inches long and 0.375 inches in size; T15 LED bulbs are 1.1 inches in size and 0.5 inches in diameter.

T10 LED bulbs are usually used for position lights and indoor lights; while T15 LED bulbs are mostly used as backup lights. T10 LED bulbs can be used with T15 sockets, but T15 LED bulbs cannot be used with T10 sockets.

UNDERSTANDING WATTAGE

T10 bulbs come with various part numbers like 194, 168, W5W, 147, 152, 158, 159, 161, 168, 194, 192, 193, etc., with the only difference being the wattage. The bulb's number determines the amount of wattage it draws, which in turn decides its brightness. For instance, a dim bulb with lower wattage is preferred for a glove box compartment to avoid excessive heat. LED bulbs, however, don't get as hot as incandescent ones.

T10 LED bulbs usually come in three styles - forward-facing, side-facing, and 360-degree bulbs. The choice depends on the application, like directional light for a cargo light or horizontal distribution for dome or map lights.

BEST REASONS TO USE T10 LED BULBS

1. T10 LED bulbs use LED chips that are brighter than incandescent or halogen bulbs and produce more light. So, with T10 LED bulbs you can get better lighting.

2. Normally, the service life of LEDs will be several times stronger than that of ordinary halogen bulbs. Therefore, the service life of T10 LED bulbs will be longer than that of ordinary T10 bulbs.

3. The above two points are the main reasons for you to choose T10 LED bulbs from the perspective of service life and brightness.
