12V Incandescent Lamp Ideas

Hi,

I'm looking for a low wattage incandescent lamp with a sort of standard bulb.  I would like to plug it into either a lighter socket or usb.  My desired wattage is 12-18 watts.

I want to plug this into a portable battery power station to be able to move it around anywhere - so I would like the fixture to be something portable that can be placed on a surface wherever I go.

Thanks
  • While I am confused as to why it doesnt matter since it is your question. However you may have a hard time finding an incandescent with a standard base in that low of wattage. Other type bases you should be able to find one.

    you might try looking here https://www.1000bulbs.com/category/incandescent-light-bulbs/?gclid=Cj0KCQjw9ZzzBRCKARIsANwXaeIogvRI6bV_b1RZsNlmutYKAxaTmjWNuYeEERVG6he_Ga3TlfeQUlIaApgNEALw_wcB

    There are quite a few LED lights with a usb tail such as here

    I know this isn't what you are asking about but it is small, portable, rechargeable via usb and can put out a fair a amount of light

    I have a couple of their flashlights and they are awesome and rechargeable and you can buy an extra battery if you like the size of a AA type so you can always have an extra charged one around.
  • Any particular reason you want an incandescent bulb versus LED?

    I went on Amazon and there is an USB powered gooseneck desk lamp/clamp on light. But it’s LED.
