Switch Lamp update

Switch Lamp update

2007-08-27 by Peter

Seems I didn't search well, sorry about that. Thanks for the help :-)

I got the cap off just fine and it took some time getting the bulb out.

The bulb is a 24 V 50 mA T5,5 (Telephone signal lamp)Dimensions:5x30 mm
The seem to be pretty easy to get.
There are also new LED versions.
However, I found no Warm White LED versions and I want to keep the
lights like they do now. They run at 20 volt and do give a "dimmed"
light. I could perhaps make them, by using Warm White "50 degrees
angle spread" LEDs, combined with a resistor, but I only found the
Warm White LEDs in an online US shop, charging about 26$ just for
shipping 2 resistors and 2 LED's, worth 3,60$.

But if you are in the US, here is the link:

The site has a resistor calculator too, which is pretty handy.
As far as I can tell, the lamps are fed with 20 V and not the 24 V
they were designed for. So make sure you get the voltage right for
calculating the resistor.

Cheers,
