Some industrials have a different voltage standard, I have noticed motors can be set for 500V, not the regular 220V we have in the wall around here. Some machines have low voltage bulbs even if the motor runs on regular voltage.
I will order the 6 volt bulb and if it doesn’t please me I will rewire the the light to 120 volts our standard wall voltage. opens many more opportunities for led bulbs. This is not an heirloom machine but I want to try out all of the original stuff to see how it works thanks for the help.
