what is the name of this lightbulb

Home Improvement Asked on May 17, 2021

There is an engraving on the bulb: 6v? 120v

This is for a motion-activated floodlight and I want to replace it with an LED but I don’t know what to look for that fits this socket.

?

One Answer

Perhaps Halogen 100W.

Not sure what the 6V is. Maybe "GV", Walmart's Great Value. They have these bulbs.

Or GY, for GY-type pin-lamp base. There are different pin spreads under the GY family, so make sure you have the right one. See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bi-pin_lamp_base (as suggested in the comments by brhans)
