What are mini bulbs?

Mini bulbs, also called miniature bulbs, miniature light bulbs, or miniature indicator bulbs, come in much smaller sizes than traditional light bulbs. Take a look at the size comparison between a Sylvania 5W LED A19 and their LED mini bulb, the 1.5W LED S11 here:

  • Sylvania A19: about 4 inches in height, 2.375 inches in diameter
  • Sylvania S11: 1.81 inches in height, 1.375 inches in diameter

Additionally, a standard miniature bulb uses low voltage. We offer a variety of LEDVANCE Sylvania LED mini bulbs ranging from low voltages, such as 6V, to standard voltages, such as 120V. Low voltage bulbs use less than 50V of electricity, like this 2.5W LED T6 bulb with a maximum 12V.

Where do you use a mini bulb?

Mini bulbs work in areas that cannot fit a traditionally sized light bulb. They often see use in automotive applications, like car headlights. But they can also see use as indicator lighting, signal lighting, some under cabinet, or display lighting. Certain miniature bulbs may also work in more specified equipment, like microscopes, projectors, or flashlights.

LEDVANCE Sylvania mini bulbs work in a variety of locations. Use LEDVANCE Sylvania mini LED bulbs anywhere from accent and task lighting to display cases in your retail store. You can use these bulbs in a variety of automotive applications, like indicator or signaling bulbs, or home applications, like some undercabinet lighting in the kitchen.

How do I know what base I need for my LEDVANCE Sylvania mini light bulb?

The base you need depends on your appliance or fixture. Sylvania offers a few different base types for their LED mini bulbs:

Base Base Type Base Shape Common Uses

You can find the millimeter size of the base using the number listed in the base type. The higher the number, the bigger the base. For example, an E10 base is 1mm smaller than an E11 base.

For Bi-Pin type bases, this number shows the distance between the pins in millimeters.
