Clocks Illumination
« on: 26 June 2020, 06:52:12 am »
Hi all,


I finally got around to replacing the lamps in the clocks.


I found these on fleabay:


https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/T5-286-Led-White-Dashboard-0-4w-1-Bulbs-5050-Speedo-Wedge-Xenon-HID-Bulb-Light/372683677781?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=641481581024&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649


Red, amber, green and white available.


I used green for the general illumination and indicators, amber for the fuel, red for oil. All with no issue.


The intensity is fine for the general illumination and perfect for the indicators. The neutral lamp may be a bit on the bright side at night but I'll wait to see how I get on with it. A little rub with some crocus paper on the plastic lens of the LED would probably be sufficient as a diffuser if needed.


A dab of Evo-stick for the rubber strips after assembly.


Jobs a good un!  :D


Bw
