Snowblower headlights
Original Message Jan 28, 2005 4:19 pm

Is there any point in having an extra headlight available or are these items that will last years at a time? I know there are a lot of variables, but if I was to use the machine an average of 25 hours a season, I’m wondering what the life of the bulb would be and when I’d want to get a spare. Would appreciate comments from the snowblower veterans.

Ajace,

Per Ariens Parts Radar it is the 1156 for my model. Thanks again for your help.

Snow never falls at night......

Snow never knocks out power lol.....

Some will argue that the low watts of the headlight on a snowblower is only useful for alerting oncoming traffic to your presence..... If that is the case it is already too late.....

Ever try to blow snow in pitch black? I have, a candle will help lol...It is impossible and totally unsafe.

I have in the past sounded like a broken record and said get a headlight for your snowblower and second, unplug it when not in use.....
