Common Concerns Answered

Is it difficult to find the correct replacement festoon bulb?
These Perko bulbs are designed as a direct replacement for standard double-ended festoon bulbs, simplifying the process. By matching the voltage, wattage, and dimensions (3/8" diameter, 1-11/16" length), you can confidently install them in compatible fixtures.
