Lighting matters—especially when you’re sewing late, working with dark fabric, or doing detailed stitching. If your Pfaff’s original bulb burned out, cracked, or just isn’t bright enough, this collection offers the exact replacements you’ll need to light things back up again.
Vintage Fit, No Guessing
Pfaff used a variety of bulb base types and voltages depending on the model and region. That’s why this collection focuses only on what fits, including both screw-in and bayonet-style bulbs compatible with:
- Pfaff 130 and 230
- Pfaff 260, 262, and 360
- Pfaff 1222E and 1221
- Pfaff Tiptronic and early Hobby series
Each listing clearly states base type (E12, E14, BA15D, etc.), bulb length, and model compatibility. If you’re not sure what your current bulb is, just send us a photo—we’ll help you match it.

FAQs About Pfaff Sewing Machine Light Bulbs
How do I know which bulb base my Pfaff uses?
Remove your old bulb and check the metal base. If it has pins that twist and lock in, it’s likely a bayonet base. If it screws in, it’ll be an E12 or E14 screw type. Each listing includes a base guide to help you match.
Can I replace an incandescent bulb with an LED in my vintage Pfaff?
Yes, as long as the LED is the same base type and voltage. LED bulbs are cooler, more efficient, and tend to last much longer.
What bulb fits the Pfaff 130?
Most Pfaff 130 models use a BA15D bayonet bulb. We carry both incandescent and LED options that fit perfectly.
Are these bulbs safe for daily use in vintage machines?
Yes. All bulbs listed here are safe for consistent daily sewing and tested for heat and voltage stability. LED options especially reduce heat exposure to vintage plastic covers and wiring.
Do you carry 220V bulbs for international machines?
We do, but only when clearly labeled. Make sure to choose based on your region’s voltage or use a converter if you're using a machine from another country.
