Ten-Tec RX340 meter lamp replacement
The lamp burned out and instead of replacing it with another blue/green
bulb I elected to use LEDs. I sanded the surface of the LED case to make the light it generated non-directional. I used three blue ones from Radio shack 276-316 in a line in place of the bulb and outside the meter case I used a resistor to limit the current. It looks pretty cool but very "blue." Now that I see the result I'm thinking that maybe white LEDs like a 276-320 would have been better choice as even the white LEDs look somewhat blueish to me. Anyone have any experiences using LEDs to replace bulbs on receivers? Right now I'm looking at the bluest meter on the west coast and the moving red needle looks almost iridescent. -- Telamon Ventura, California |
