Light Bulbs

[Mike Bett]

Hi guys,
I need new bulbs for some of my 50560 lights. I need clear bulbs not the amber ones.
Any ideas where I might get them?

Have you tried Chalk Garden Rail Mike?

They are the UK Service Agent for LGB these days....

These are the recommended LGB lamps, but they are amber;

You could try Maplins or similar. They are 18 V, 15mA with an E5.5 thread, and I guess readily available....

Come to think of it, Beevercreek sourced an LED replacement for these LGB lamps, which also fit Pola/Piko.

A warm white colour, which might do the job for you Mike....

You can just buy the amber bulbs and remove the yellow colouring.
It is only a dipped application and can be scraped off gently with a Stanley knife or wiped off with a suitable stripping agent.

Thanks Gizzy and and all who replied. I have tried to get the amber off the bulbs I have, but not very succesfuly!
If anyone has not followed the discussion started by Gizzy's reference to Bevercreek, you should. These LED lamps seem to be the perfect answer. The 10 on offer on German ebay look like a good deal to me (I do like their no hassle potential - plenty of other problems to solve!).

Mike (Beevercreek) did the research work, so he gets the credit....
