Hi all.

Slightly out of the ordinary, but I'm looking to replacing between 60 to 100 standard size E27 bulbs with LED equivalent.
The catch is the LED must run at 90v, rather than 230v.
"Why?" you ask, these bulbs are used in heritage diesel-electric pulled coaches and we're looking to 1) lighten the load on the auxiliary generators and 2) have (theoretically) longer lasting bulbs.
As the coaches are heritage (meaning keeping stuff as original as possible) and a number of other systems run off the common supply of 90v, we can't modify with the wiring and/or supply voltage. The bulbs need to be straight swaps.
They do need to have a frosted appearance, on the warmer side of colour and look as much as possible the same as original.
I've spent hours browsing the web but can't find such a LED bulb - perhaps someone on here knows of a suggestion?

Many thanks :)
 
TL;DR
anyone know of 90v LED E27 frosted bulb replacement for 90v incandescent E27 bulbs
Thanks for a speedy suggestion.
I did spot those and they certainly meet the technical spec, sadly they don't meet the aesthetic requirement - hence the original post. I've seen the 'fancy type of bulb with various shaped strings of tiny LEDs but nothing that quite looks like a standard incandescent frosted bulb.
The Amazon ones (like pretty much all others) have a large proportion of the 'bulb' as the base containing the driver.
But thanks for the link!
 
Hi, since USA and Japan have 110v - 120v supply, you might search for lamps intended for USA and Japan. There is a big probability that they work fine on 90v. Normally lamps, like all other electrical devices, have an operating range of voltage; although 90v may be a bit on the lower side. Another thing to take into consideration is whether you have AC or DC. The probability is that you have an AC supply.
