T5 automotive light bulbs: type, uses, characteristics

T5 is the designation for miniature single-filament halogen and LED lamps.

Where are they installed?

T5 automotive light bulbs are used for car interior lighting and mounted in the dashboard (indirect lights), and in various buttons and switches (direct lights). They can also be installed in vehicle marker lights. They are equipped with W2x4.6d bases. The output is 1.2W and the voltage 12V or 24V.

Characteristics

Halogen light sources contain halogen gas. This increases the temperature of the filament and provides more intense light. The lifespan of such components is up to 1,500 hours. LED components have multiple working elements and consume little energy, which is why most people prefer to buy T5 LED lamps. They are also resistant to vibrations and variations of voltage in the electrical system.
