microwave light bulb, what is Z187?

[uk1simon]

Hi there, I have a Russell Hobbs microwave. I have to replace a light bulb on it. The bulb comes with the base on which it says 250v 2a Z187 20w. Is Z187 compatible with T170 base? I spent a few hours googling and searching this Z187 and I can't find anything. The only place I can get a light bulb like this is a chinese seller on ebay. Help, please. Regards, Simon.

Do any of the lamps on the links below look like the failed one?

Can you post a photo maybe? There's no type of lamp that is denoted by the letter Z as far as I know so I suspect the code you have is just the part code for that particular manufacturer.

It does come up if you Google it but they seem to be on American sites.

Figures, damn Yanks. I didn't bother googling it because the code didn't correspond to an official lamp base code. The OP is just as bad with the T170 code. Wanst that the code for the Cyberdyne Systems Terminator? May have been T800, been a while since I worked on one so not sure.

I think it's actually an E14 base but no guarantees.
