- I test every colour. How to choose correct voltage
on your Receiver / Amplifier / Car anything that uses these bulbs.
All bulbs I used here are the 6 to 8 volt ones apart from the 12 volt warm white at the end
Colours used,
BLUE, ICE BLUE, GREEN, RED, PINK, COOL WHITE, WARM WHITE, AMBER YELLOW and INCANDESCENT
Link to where I got these bulbs from here in the UK www.ebay.co.uk...
Where you can but 6 to 8 volt and 12 volt lamps
They are 28mm in length and will sockets from 28mm to 32mm nicely
These lamps will fit
Kenwood
Sansui
Marantz
Pioneer
Sony
Technics
JVC
Trio
as well as Car Dashboard etc
Receiver with right colours used can look rather cool. Great video
Great video! Masterclass. The color does not always carry through noticeably.
Thanks. a little experimenting does pay dividends.
Masterclass Michael. I have the cool white in my unit. But that green signal meter looks so tempting.
Thanks, they certainly make it pop
Great video. I followed a video of yours and cleaned a simular receiver and chaged the bulbs as well. The before and after results were amazing. Very pleased with the end result thanks
Thats excellent, amazing what a little cleaning and a few bulbs can do.
Great video! Nice to see a great vid for newcomers
Thanks Shaun. Very much appreciated.
Nice work Michael.
Thanks Simon
hi have the same test meter it's a good one
An added benefit of the led is less heat and uv light, which can damage plastics, wire insulation, silkscreen, ect. over time.
The less heat would be quite important especially with a lot of old Marantz Recivers that get quite hot inside as their power supply regulator transistor drops a fair amount of voltage across it and gets very hot indeed, so the less heat inside the unit the better.
Like number 17 from me buddy.

Thanks Jim, all the best Michael
hi mike it's like jazz the car up can't use the p the ride saying some don't like it you know why L E D are better change over 48 small ones lucky the panel came a way
on the tape deck
The 12 volt ones would be ideal for a car mod or panel bulbs
mike you got to say post costs as they can ad this on alot
True Bob just had a look and they charge 1.69 for postage but the bulbs go down to 1.44 each if you order 4 or more.
A cheap way to really brighten up a unit
mike haliford sell low cost meters
Thanks Bob. Halford, petrol stations, can pick up these meters in a lot of places these days
I'm not against the idea of LED lighting, per se, but neither am I completely sold. It's not all positive, there are offsets to consider. For certain receiver designs, like the Pioneer X2X/X3X, LED never looks good. It ruins the original coloring which is just right. Other receiver styling is neutral (bland?) enough that anything you want to do looks just as good. For my receivers the Sansui 661 is dim compared with the Harman/Kardon 330B and Pioneer SX-434, so I'm in the process to try LED with that one to try to bring the intensity up to the level of the other two.
Thanks for the comment Jeff. Yes I think every Receiver will be different and while it might suit and look ok on some, there are others it is just not going to work on. Though the warm white seems to hold up well on a few others I have tried. The 331 here really pops when seeing in the flesh. Rotating the LEDs around 360 while in socket can give a little control on brightness to.
@@MichaelYates , yes, it was your previous video on installing LED in the 441 that inspired me to try this on my 661, to better diffuse the light. It's still on my bench while I'm giving the faceplate a good cleaning but I hope to have it back in use this week. Thank you!
Is the LED bulbs plastic or glass?
They are a metal cap each end and a little circuit board inbetween with LEDs on and that is it, no cover at all. But its strong and works well
@@MichaelYates yes but is it covered in glass tube or plastic?
@@jedi-mic No its not covered at all
@@MichaelYates right I thought it was covered like the original bulbs, when you show pictures look like it was in case in grass or something. They are plastic then sand it down with some 800 grit on the face of the LED give your better dispersion of light try it
@@jedi-mic Thanks. Sorry my picture at 2:40 is a little misleading, its the original burnt out looking incandesent bulbs on left and a new incandescent bulb on the right just to show the difference between them. I do show all the LED ones but lit so hard to see if they had any covers or not. The dispersion has been very good on units I have used these on so far.
