5 amp micro fuse for glareshield lighting

[helitim]

One of the BUSS FM01A 5amp fuses that powers my glareshield lighting burned out last week.

Searching on the internet, I found prices ranging from about $19 - 29 dollars per fuse. Doing some additional reading, there is a direct replacement which is the GMW-5. National Fuse has them on a close out sale price of $1.95 each. I bought a 10 pack for less than 1 of the originals. If anyone needs them, this is worth considering.

Thanks for the tip!

That's a great deal. Good detective work.

How did you determine that the GMW-5 is a legal replacement?

If it is, anyone who uses these in their lighting rheostat should buy a few spares before the close-out ends.
