12v wedge bulbs 5mm dia

[aviator]

Anyone got a source for these which are for Sealine water and waste meters made by Siemens VDO originally.

RS have them but want to sell 10.

Worst case its Sealine spares but any other sources welcome.

Thanks

They're called "286 5mm wedge"

Here's a LED version:

Google the 286 and youll find plenty of hits

Great advice thanks.

I wondered if there was an LED version which is really good news.

For the other meters I'm just going to solder LEDs to the holders, with current limiting of course ;-)

If you mean the type of bulb in the picture on the site above, then any car part shop will have them.

These are 501 bulbs - too big. 286 is what you need, a good motor factor will keep them (or the led version as mentioned) or give me a call.
