501 W5W T10 5 SMD 3030 Wide Copper CANBUS White LED Bulbs 12V-24V - Pair

501 W5W T10 5 SMD 3030 Wide Copper CANBUS White LED Bulbs 12V-24V - Pair

Upgrade compatible 501 / W5W / T10 lighting applications with this compact pair of 5 x 3030 SMD 6000K white LED bulbs. Designed with a robust metal body, wide copper electrical contacts and a clear multi-angle lens, these bulbs provide a bright, wide-spread white light while retaining the familiar T10 wedge fitting.

Each bulb uses 5 high-output 3030 SMD LEDs and is manufacturer-rated at 525 lumens with approximately 1.2W power consumption. The crisp 6000K white light provides a modern LED appearance for compatible vehicle lighting applications.

The bulbs operate across 12V-24V DC electrical systems and feature a non-polarity design, allowing them to operate regardless of which way around they are inserted into a compatible T10/W5W socket.

5 x 3030 SMD LED Technology

Each bulb incorporates five high-output 3030 SMD LED chips positioned around the clear optical head. This multi-directional arrangement is designed to distribute light across a wider area than a simple forward-facing LED, making the bulb particularly suitable for lamp housings where broad illumination is required.

The clear multi-faceted lens helps distribute the 6000K white light around the lamp housing, providing bright and even illumination from the compact T10 bulb design.

6000K Crisp White Light

The LEDs produce a modern 6000K white colour temperature, replacing the warmer appearance typically associated with conventional filament bulbs with a cleaner, whiter LED light.

With a manufacturer-rated light output of 525 lumens, these compact bulbs provide strong illumination while consuming approximately 1.2W.

Wide Copper Contact Design

A key feature of this bulb is its wide copper contact design. Instead of basic thin wire-style contacts, the wedge base uses two broad solid copper contact strips.

The increased contact area is designed to provide a secure and reliable electrical connection inside a compatible 501/W5W/T10 bulb holder while contributing to the bulb's robust construction.

12V-24V Wide Voltage Compatibility

The wide-voltage electronic design allows the bulbs to operate on compatible 12V and 24V DC vehicle electrical systems.

This makes them suitable for a broad range of compatible cars, vans, motorcycles, campers, motorhomes and commercial vehicle lighting applications using the correct T10/W5W fitting.

CANBUS-Ready Electronics

The bulbs incorporate CANBUS-ready electronics designed to improve compatibility with many modern vehicle lighting systems and reduce the likelihood of bulb warning messages.

Non-Polarity Plug & Play Installation

The bulbs feature a non-polarity circuit, meaning there is no need to identify positive and negative orientation before installation.

Simply remove the original compatible 501/W5W/T10 bulb and insert the LED replacement into the bulb holder. Unlike polarity-sensitive LEDs, the bulb is designed to operate whichever way around it is inserted.

Always switch the vehicle lighting off before installation and ensure the bulb is securely seated in the holder before testing.

Efficient Metal-Bodied Construction

The compact metal body assists with heat management while allowing the bulb to retain dimensions close to a traditional T10-style lamp.

Combined with the low approximately 1.2W power consumption, the design helps minimise heat and electrical load compared with conventional filament lighting.

The manufacturer specifies a rated service life of up to 50,000 hours, although actual service life will depend on operating conditions, installation, vehicle voltage and usage.

Product Specifications

*Manufacturer-supplied specification. Actual light output, power consumption and service life may vary depending on operating conditions, vehicle application and electrical system.

Typical Applications

501/W5W/T10 bulbs are used across a wide variety of vehicle lighting applications. Depending on the vehicle and original bulb specification, typical applications can include:

• Sidelights / position lights
• Interior lights
• Number plate lights
• Boot / luggage compartment lights
• Glove box lights
• Door courtesy lights
• Footwell lighting

CANBUS Compatibility Explained

The term CANBUS-ready means the bulb incorporates electronics intended to improve compatibility with vehicles that monitor exterior lighting circuits.

Vehicle monitoring systems vary considerably, and some particularly sensitive vehicles may still display a bulb warning or require additional components. CANBUS-ready should therefore not be interpreted as a universal guarantee of error-free operation on every vehicle.

Important Road-Use Information

LED replacement bulbs should only be fitted where their use is permitted for the intended application. For exterior vehicle lighting, the complete lamp and light source may be subject to vehicle construction, use and approval requirements.

Please check the requirements applicable to your vehicle and intended lighting function before fitting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these bulbs T10, W5W and 501 compatible?
Yes. They use the standard T10 wedge-style fitting commonly referred to as 501 or W5W. Always compare the fitting and physical dimensions with the original bulb before ordering.

How many LEDs does each bulb have?
Each bulb uses five high-output 3030 SMD LED chips positioned around the clear lens assembly.

What colour are the bulbs?
They produce a crisp 6000K white LED light.

How bright are the bulbs?
The manufacturer specifies a rated light output of 525 lumens. Actual visible output can vary depending on the lamp housing and application.

How much power do they use?
Manufacturer-rated power consumption is approximately 1.2W.

Will these bulbs work on 24V vehicles?
Yes. They are designed for compatible 12V-24V DC electrical systems.

Are the bulbs polarity sensitive?
No. The non-polarity design allows the bulb to operate whichever way around it is inserted into a compatible socket.

Will they cause a CANBUS bulb warning?
They are CANBUS-ready and designed to reduce bulb warning issues on many vehicles, but vehicle monitoring systems vary, so compatibility cannot be guaranteed on every vehicle.

What is the wide copper contact design?
The T10 wedge base uses two broad solid copper contact strips rather than basic thin wire contacts, providing a large electrical contact surface inside a compatible bulb holder.

How long are the bulbs rated to last?
The manufacturer specifies a rated lifespan of up to 50,000 hours. Actual service life will vary according to voltage, operating temperature, installation and usage.
