Lights ON EATC DISPLAY

[lucenti]

Would any 1 know of a part # for the bulbs that solder into the display,or leds that would fit. would you know the voltage rating?

Thanks in advance

If they are 12 volt bulbs normally, plug that number into this program, its easy to calculate LEDS with this handy program on the web.. Pick an LED, plug in its ratings (I use radio shack whites in the two pack #276-0017) If you want diffused light, rough up the front of the LED with fine sandpaper, or leave them alone for directive light.

get the resistance value with this and use that resistor in line with one of the leds to pad it down so they dont blow out..

For example, an 8 volt line voltage on the pc board and the aforementioned diodes will need a 220 ohm resistor to pad it down to a safe figure..
