2FT13 Series T10 SMD LED Interior and License Plate Bulbs

The 2FT13 T10 series is designed as a compact yet bright upgrade for interior lamps and license plate lights on 12 volt vehicles. Each bulb uses a carefully balanced combination of 4014 SMD and 3030 SMD LEDs, arranged to deliver both strong forward intensity and a wide surround glow. Compared with standard halogen or basic T10 LED replacements, this structure gives a cleaner appearance on the vehicle while improving visibility when you unlock the car, open a door or back into a parking space at night.

High Brightness With Controlled No Glare Output

This T10 bulb focuses on high usable brightness rather than only peak numbers. The luminous area around the top of the bulb is packed with LEDs so the light appears full and vivid when viewed from behind a lens or reflector. At the same time, the optical layout is tuned to keep the beam comfortable for the eyes. When used in interior locations, the light fills the cabin evenly without the harsh hot spot that can cause glare. On the license plate, the plate surface is illuminated clearly while the surrounding area remains tidy and controlled.

Combination Of 4014 SMD And 3030 SMD Chips

The light source is built from two popular automotive LED types that play different roles inside the bulb. The 3030 SMD chip provides powerful point intensity, giving the bulb strong penetration and helping the light reach further through the housing optics. Around it, multiple 4014 SMD chips create a large luminous area. This layout improves uniformity and creates a richer, more continuous light band. With twelve 4014 chips and one 3030 chip in each bulb, the series balances efficiency, brightness and thermal control for long term use.

Lampshade Optics For Soft Comfortable Light

A clear lampshade structure wraps the LED core and works as a small internal lens system. Instead of exposing bare LEDs directly to the eye, the lampshade mixes the output and spreads it into a softer, more even glow. In interior positions this helps passengers read instruments or find items in the cabin without discomfort. On the rear of the vehicle, the license plate is lit with a smooth patch of light that looks premium and avoids distracting glare for drivers behind you.

Aviation Grade Aluminum Lamp Body For Reliable Cooling

The main body of the bulb is made from aviation grade aluminum. This metal offers high thermal conductivity, so heat from the LEDs is quickly transferred away from the chips and into the outside air. The rigid structure also improves resistance to vibration and shock compared with simple plastic lamp bodies. For vehicles that see daily commuting, long night driving or rough roads, this helps the LEDs maintain consistent brightness and supports a long service life.

Hollow Body Design To Enhance Airflow And Heat Dissipation

In addition to the choice of materials, the mechanical design of the bulb includes an internal hollow section. This open structure allows air to move more freely around the metal surface when the vehicle is in motion, which accelerates heat exchange with the environment. Better cooling means the LEDs can run at their intended brightness with less thermal stress. Over time this helps reduce color shift and lumen drop, keeping the light output closer to its original level.

Special Contact Pins For Stable Power Delivery

The base of the bulb is equipped with special contact pins that are shaped for firm engagement with the T10 socket. When you insert the bulb, the pins maintain pressure against the contacts to keep resistance low and the current flow stable. This design reduces flicker that can be caused by loose connections and helps the bulb stay seated even when the vehicle is exposed to vibration or repeated door closing.

Optimized Electrical Performance For 12 Volt Systems

Each 2FT13 T10 bulb draws about 170 milliampere at 12 volt with an allowed tolerance to match real vehicle conditions. The operating range from 9 volt to 18 volt DC covers typical automotive voltage swings during engine cranking, idling and charging. This wide window means the bulbs stay lit without interruption when the battery voltage dips slightly and remain protected when the alternator output is higher during driving.

Three Color Choices For Different Lighting Roles

The series offers three color options built on the same electronic platform. Model 2FT13 T10 W delivers a clean white light suited to interior courtesy lamps and license plate lights when you want a modern look. Model 2FT13 T10 O provides an amber tone that fits applications where a warm appearance is preferred or where amber is required as a marking color. Model 2FT13 T10 R gives a vivid red output that can be coordinated with other red lamps at the rear of the vehicle when the same technology is used in larger bases. Distributors can stock all three colors to serve varied customization styles.

Standard T10 Size For Easy Replacement

The bulb is built around the familiar T10 wedge base so it fits into the same sockets used by many original halogen W5W style lamps. Installation is simple for both workshops and end users. In most cases you only need to remove the lens, pull out the original bulb, insert the LED replacement and check the polarity by testing the lamp. The compact size makes it suitable for tight housings in dome lights, map lights and license plate lamps without interfering with covers or trim pieces.

Common Design Language With Other Bases

The optical and mechanical ideas behind the 2FT13 T10 version are shared with other members of the family that use bases such as 1156, 1157, 7440, 7443, 3156 and 3157. For lighting specialists and wholesalers this brings a consistent look across multiple bulb types while simplifying training and sales explanations. Although this page focuses on the T10 interior and license plate models, the same chip combination and aluminum construction support turn signal, brake and backup applications when paired with the appropriate base.

Certified Quality For Global Distribution

The bulbs are produced under a system that supports international certification and compliance. The series carries CE and RoHS reports, helping importers and distributors meet regulatory requirements in many markets. Together with the robust aluminum body, efficient LED layout and thoughtful cooling features, these certifications give confidence when you offer the 2FT13 T10 series as an upgrade option for customers who expect both style and reliability from their automotive lighting.
