Product Specifications

         The PGJ13-based 12V27W Type 890 halogen lamp is a specialized low-voltage halogen bulb designed primarily for automotive lighting applications. Its key feature is the use of a PGJ13 two-pin plastic base, which ensures secure mechanical fixation, vibration resistance, and reliable electrical contact within vehicle-specific lamp sockets. This design is essential for the demanding conditions of automotive use, where constant vibration and temperature fluctuations are common.

         This lamp operates at a standard automotive electrical system voltage of 12 volts with a power rating of 27 watts. The industry type number "890" is a key identifier for replacement, ensuring compatibility with specific vehicle models or lamp assemblies. It functions on the halogen cycle principle, which provides high luminous efficacy, a bright and crisp white light (typically around 3200K color temperature), and maintains stable light output over its lifespan with excellent color rendering.

         Its primary application is in automotive exterior lighting, commonly used as a fog light, cornering light, or auxiliary driving light in many vehicles. Key advantages include instant illumination, robust construction to withstand road shocks, and a compact form factor suitable for integrated vehicle lamp housings. A crucial usage note: due to the high operating temperature of the halogen capsule, the plastic base is specifically engineered for thermal tolerance. However, during installation, it is vital never to touch the glass bulb with bare hands, as skin oils can cause localized overheating and lead to premature bulb failure. Replacement must always be performed with the vehicle's electrical system switched off, ensuring the bulb matches the exact socket type (PGJ13) and wattage specified by the vehicle manufacturer.
