So I received my first sealed beam beacon in the mail today. It is missing a bulb, but that was expected. I just am not sure where to search for a replacement. The bulb that came in it is pictured below. Some of you guys probably know what it is at a glance, but I am not that good yet. It fits an Arrow 530. Sooo what do I punch in as an identifier for this?

As said, that appears to be a flood light style of bulb.
I think you may want a spot light style of bulb. That would give
you that crisp flash when that beacon rotates.
I might have a couple out back.........I'll PM you if I find them :)

You identify the bulb by the number on the rear. I can see some of it in your pics.
They sure don't make those things easy to read. The part that is raised text made of glass looks like P395 U.S.A. The black ink looks awful but looks like PHILIPS 44? 12V. The question mark is in place of a character I can't make out. :( Getting old is annoying sometimes...how I long for technology to deliver an electronic eyeball with zoom capability.

Well if this helps at all, here is the existing bulb mounted in the fixture. I am always open to brighter, more focused, or any other fancy options I can grab.
